THE ACCURSED is a typically cheap and uninteresting low budget horror yarn that's far too dark for its own good and really tedious on a visual level. The story sees a young woman taking on the role of carer for a mysterious reclusive elderly lady living in a remote cabin, and an aged Mena Suvari shows up as a sinister aide. The patient turns out to be '80s favourite Meg Foster, not that she has much to do. The lead is unlikeable and the horror limited to predictable possession scares and some gross-out moments I didn't much care for, but perhaps if you could actually see what was going on it would all be a little bit better.
The entire movie kept going like a plane with 3 out of 4 engines on fire. It is mediocre at best. No surprises, and precious few jump scares. Highly predictable.
Sad because the acting is really good. But the movie pacing and the script were really poor.
Has a number of plot holes too, and things happen in a too convenient way to move the thin plot along.
It almost entertains. We kept waiting to see if it would get better, hoping final act would make up for the first half. But no, it was not meant to be.
Falls flat like a pancake. There is one cool cgi effect that its cool the first time but then they use it over and over down to the last scene.

I was really hoping to get some good witchy horror but just got this...the lead feels so off vibe for the tone they were going for. What can I say...if that girl is a nurse I am Marilyn Monroe.
It is impossible to feel any scare through this character, I gave it a 3 stars for Mena Suvari and Meg Foster, and maybe the production design...the houses are really creepy...but that just come with the southern gothic style.
The opening feels from a completely different movie, and it is so disappointing that it is not that movie.
Thought to turned off before half way but kept the hope it would get better...so naive.

Plot
Elly is asked by a family friend to look after an elderly woman living in a remote cabin for a few days. She agrees, but soon discovers there is a demon hiding in the woman just waiting to break free.
Cast
Those I'm unfamiliar with flanked by the incredible contract of awful Suvari and always welcome Foster.
Verdict
The Accursed was the wifey's Saturday night pick and though unfamiliar with this I wasn't opposed to it. I just did however wonder why I'd never heard of it.
The opening sequence was memorable, interesting and got me excited for what was the come. Alas what was to come was a dreadfully boring hour and a half of standard horror tropes, clichés, mediocre performances and fighting to keep my eyes open.
The Accursed is "Cursed" with a lack of originality, lifeless characters and a plot similar to countless other horror films.
The Accursed is a lifeless forgettable possession tale swimming in an ocean of forgettable horror movies. However I'd recommend wading a bit further to find something better.
Rants
Is originally in horror dead or is it just the industry as a whole? As I look at my 17.4k ratings on IMDB (Don't judge me) I realize I'm becoming very difficult to impress because I've quite literally seen it all. Watching thigs often feels like a chore, not because I don't want to but because I feel like everything is rehashed and that the industry are getting away with it because new generations are new blissfully unaware audiences. I craze something new!
The Good
Solid opening A couple of notable ideas Meg Foster
The Bad
Mena Suvari Bland characters Rather boring Overwhelmed with clichés and trope's.

When I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "The Accursed" I actually never had heard about the movie. I happened to stumble upon the movie, and given my life-long romance with the horror genre, of course I had to sit down and watch what writer Rob Kennedy and director Kevin Lewis had to offer.
I will say that the plot and storyline in "The Accursed", as written by Rob Kennedy, made for an adequate enough movie. If you are a newcomer to the horror genre, then I think you will most definitely enjoy the movie a lot more than I did as a seasoned horror veteran. To me, however, the movie was watchable, but writer Rob Kennedy just didn't bring anything new to the genre, and the movie was sort of a mediocre result at the hands of director Kevin Lewis.
The acting performances in "The Accursed" were good, and it certainly was nice to see Meg Foster in the movie, and she had a very good role in the movie as well. I am not overly familiar with leading actress Sarah Grey, but she did carry the movie quite well.
The special effects in the movie were good. Now, keep in mind that "The Accursed" is not a horror movie that throws one special effects in your face after another. No, the movie makes use of special effects when needed, and they definitely helped to further the narrative quite well. And the special effects were good.
I doubt that I will ever return to watch "The Accursed" a second time, though it made for an adequate enough viewing the first time around.
My rating of "The Accursed" lands on a five out of ten stars.
