Eight for Silver

First 30-40 minutes were good. Kinda expensive production for a horror movie, interesting story, decent acting. Then, i was slowly losing my interest. At the end of the movie i didn't care about what happened to the characters, i just wanted it to end. Something felt off, i can't explain it better because English is not my native language. You can't enjoy a horror movie when you don't care if the characters live or die. Maybe i was not in the right mood, i don't know.

It's definitely not a bad movie, however, it's too long. It should have been at least 15 minutes shorter, there were some pace problems. Not boring though, for the most part of it.

Actors were not so charismatic or appealing except Kelly Reilly. She shines through the movie.

I wanted to like it. CASHBACK (same director, 2006) is one of my favorite movies. I liked THE BROKEN (2008) too.

This, not so much.

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.

A fine production, the dark visual quality and a well working cast make The Cursed aka Eight for Silver worth your time. The only thing I gotta complain is the running time - 155 minutes, which almost inevitably leads to some lengthy or redundant parts and rather weakens the experience than improving. Why so many directors these days think that they have to make such long running movies (Apocalypse Now directors cut just runs half an hour longer but got massively more story to tell), I don't know, but too many times it is really an unwise choice to do so. Anyway, if you like such different horror pleasures like Sleepy Hollow, The Village, The Thing, The Cursed will give you some entertaining time.

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.

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.
