Featured reviews
It's been quite some time since there has been some legitimate horror in this genre. This movie delivers on all the right aspects from the cinematography to the creature effects. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I wished they never changed the original title, Eight for Silver. That name had a unique identity of its own.
An aesthetically pleasing horror drama, beautiful locations, peak cinematography, talented actors, a proper budget, brilliantly written and directed, realistic brutal scenes with outstanding performances.
A unique take on lycanthropy that never ever seen before. I would've rated more if Sean Ellis carried the same momentum he had until the final act.

Solid horror movie. The story is interesting, the beginning was a bit too much for me to watch, but it laid the foundation for the rest of the movie. There's a few little jumpscares in the beginning but other than that it just builds the scaryness off of the storyline. Overall a good movie, would recommend to watch, but for me the possibility of a rewatch is low.
The Cursed might be a slow burn, but it delivers pure horror and suspense throughout. The cast is excellent and the cinematography is just gorgeous. I wish more people were talking about this low budget horror flick. It has so many bloody and disgusting surprises that bring audiences sick stomachs and pure enjoyment. Far better than the disaster, Scream 5. Best horror film of the year thus far and I didn't even expect it.
Gothic, gloomy, and a dark movie. This movie has a terrific setting, cinematography, and set design. It is very similar to The Others and Robert Eggers films (The VVitch and The Lighthouse)
Also, Kelly Reilly (Isabelle Laurent) and Amelia Crouch (Charlotte) have amazing performances in this movie. Their acting made me emotional and feel for their characters at some points of the film.
The werewolf looks pretty bad and dumb. I think this movie would've worked better as a vampire film.
There's also a pretty fine twist at the end, I didn't expect it, but it didn't shock me if you know.

- TriviaSean Ellis has stated that he also took from the story of the Beast of Gévaudin for inspiration to write this film.
- GoofsIf the bulk of the story is set in 1891, and John McBride's family were killed by the 'Beast of Gevaudan' in France, then he has to be about 150 years old! That event took place in 1764-1767.
In a movie featuring scarecrow mummies, Gypsie curses, silver werewolf fangs, silver bullets and cryptid monsters, a 150 year old monster hunter fits right in.
