Maldição de Crom: A Lenda do Halloween

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the script was actually improved as it was just natural, fun, and bad. It's been a long time that a low production movie has made me laugh and smile this much.

Don't expect to be scared, but expect to laugh at the actors being scared.

If I was convinced that the actors were intentionally acting poorly on purpose I would have given it 10 stars. There performances were perfect for the quality of the production.

It has just the right mix of good and bad to be a cult hit. I know I plan on watching it again. I'm still smiling thinking about it.

Just sit back and enjoy the bad.

Given my love and fascination with the horror genre, of course I opted to watch the 2022 movie "Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween", as I had the chance to do so here in 2025. Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to watching it, but I was lured in by the movie's cover, and the fact that I had never heard about it.

The movie started out well enough, but sort of flatted out about halfway through and slipped into a slump, one from which the narrative never recovered. Sure, it was a watchable enough movie for what it was, but it was hardly an outstanding horror movie. The concept idea behind the story was definitely interesting, and the synopsis sounded promising, but the execution from script to screen just wasn't all that impressive.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie. I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair.

Visually then the movie was okay. It wasn't a movie that made a whole lot usage of special effects. But the special effects that were in the movie were actually fair.

Watchable a single time, but this movie hardly warrants more than just a single viewing. Is it a movie that I would recommend horror fans to rush out and get to watch? Hardly so.

My rating of director Rob York's 2022 movie "Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I very much enjoyed this film, knowing nothing about it other than it was going to be about Halloween and feature practical effects.

I popped it into the Blu-ray player expecting some B-movie cheese and ended up watching a real movie. The story is more of a fantasy adventure than a horror film, which is just fine if you know that going in. The movie is family friendly, which isn't something I look for, but it definitely helped lend this a touch of Spielbergian charm.

The young cast is superb. I'd never heard of any of them before, but I hope they all go onto to bigger and better things.

The real highlight for me was the performance of star Chelsea Jurkiewicz. I never felt like I was watching a character, just a sweet girl caught up in a crazy home movie. She has a charm I can't describe, and I need to see more of her performances immediately.

Randomly picked this movie with zero knowledge or expectations, and it delivered brilliantly! Word of advice, turn off closed captions to avoid hints during some scenes. But yeah, this was just a fun, slightly spooky, good for the whole family type of movie. Zero blood, no nightmare inducing murder clowns, no serial killers... just a ghostly monster and a gang of teena to solve a mystery. Me and my oldest enjoyed the heck out of it. Highly recommended to anybody who wants some Halloween fun. The naturalistic acting was great, even when they cranked up the comic relief, it was just the right balance of serious and comedy. Just watch it, you'll enjoy it.

Watched this movie because the story sounded fun and the cover looked cool. The movie lacks good acting from it's 2 main characters, although they still did a decent job. Scenes went on longer than they should have at times.

It also suffered from some pacing issues. They tried to add more depth to characters when they really didn't need to.

I would recommend this movie to someone who is trying to ease their child or friend into the horror genre.

Props to actor Halem Medina who played Steve and Monica Moore Smith who played Stephanie. They were the best 2 actors in the movie in my opinion.

"Curse Of Crom" had a lot of potential I just think it wasn't executed as well as it could have been.
