The Curse of the Necklace

Well, i totally agree with negative comments but also i will not give a rates like 2 or 1 because that can be harsh. Let me talk about cast first, these young girls were really really good , this girl from Megan was really brilliant actress and i am so sure we will see her much on screen. As i told you at the beginning, there is nothing new in this movie , classic possession from bad spirit , super cliché. I didn't understand why daddy figure has ended like this , in my opinion he didn't deserve and i wanted an another ending for him , actually with this one really stupid.. final was like it will be suitable for second part but i am sure if they make that, it will be boring and unlogical so much.. watchable without expectations.

Beautiful story and what an amazing act By the two sisters. It just shows that you don't need multiple locations and a big budget to make a film Interesting. All you need are great actors in a film like this one and it'll be entertaining and pin you down to your seat until the of the film. I also loved the costume and the cinema photography and lighting as well as the special effect I just wished the movie was longer. I also have to say that Henry Thomas was fantastic. I've watched it 4 times with my boys and will again watch it this Halloween. I can't wait for part two to come out. I'm sure it'll be just as interesting as the first one.

But for reasons only known to certain people, parents never can explain the simplest things to their children. Like your dad is a drunken obnoxious thief who stole a piece of costume jewelry as a make up gift for his wife who see him for the POS that he is. Or when told to do something, these kids do the opposite, and a better ending would have been all of them not making it top the final credits, but here we go with the BS Happily ever after nonsense. But what else did you expect when this movie was co-produced by the principle actors families.

I didn't find this very watchable, predictable yes, but hardly watchable due to the many cliched teenage angst/malcontent and basically being rebels without a clue.

Turns out to be a possession'ish story, one that needs to be shortened a lot. Be prepared for a lot of padding unless you need something to put you to sleep. I would really liked to have rated this higher because its a well made movie and there's a lot of very nice cinematography in it. The special fx are nice and they keep it pretty dark.

There are a lot of 'I would like to haves' but what's the point. What is this necklace? You must wait 1hr till any information about it comes forward. Jumping forward 1hr isn't a bad move because up until that point its just a mildly tormented family story. You'll want some coffee for this one because you don't want to fall asleep. It gets pretty good in the last leg.

Better movies like this that I would recommend; The Amityville Horror(1979), The Omen(1976), Poltergeist(1982), Pet Sematary(1989), or The Exorcist(1973).

Given my love of the horror genre, then of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch "The Curse of the Necklace", from writer John Ducey and director Juan Pablo Arias Munoz, as I happened to come across the movie by random luck here in 2024. I had never actually heard about the movie, so I didn't know what I was getting myself into here. But the movie's cover and title sounded interesting enough. And the fact that it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, certainly was also a convincing point.

Right, well writer John Ducey delivered a fair enough script for the movie. And if you are a newcomer to the horror genre, then you're certainly in for a treat, no doubt about that. But if you, like me, am a seasoned horror veteran, then "The Curse of the Necklace" was a walk in the park. It was a generic, predictable and straightforward possession horror movie, for better or worse. Sure, I was entertained throughout the course of the movie, but I wasn't impressed.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with actor Henry Thomas. However, it should be said that the acting performances in the movie were fair.

Visually, then the movie was okay. It wasn't a movie that had special effects that will blow you away, but I will say that the special effects in the movie were adequate and definitely served their purpose well enough.

Watchable, for sure, but hardly a memorable foray into the horror genre for seasoned horror veterans. And if I have to be bluntly honest, then this movie will never make it around for a second viewing on my screen, as it just didn't have the contents to support more than a single viewing.

My rating of director Juan Pablo Arias Munoz's 2024 horror movie "The Curse of the Necklace" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.
