A thrilling global quest where skepticism meets dark magic. The Director was voluntarily cursed by global practitioners and witch doctors.
This blurs the lines between belief, psychology, and the supernatural. Visually immersive, culturally rich, and unnervingly personal, it challenges reality's limits without easy answers. A haunting dive into the mind's power
Sequel needed into a deeper darker element to it. Loved it.
I loved how it covered different cultures and places and gave a global perspective on the dark world of magic and how despite miles apart that they all share similar characteristics which make you think there is a truth to the beliefs.

I truly enjoyed A Cursed Man. It raises compelling questions about belief, fate, and the power of ritual. Are we genuinely connected to a higher power, or is it our belief system that gives meaning to these experiences? It was fascinating to watch, especially the moment when Liam asked to be cursed. I kept wondering how he felt in that moment, was it fear, conviction, or curiosity? How did he rationalize such a bold act? Is it possible that the power of suggestion alone can trigger real change through ritual? This documentary stays with you and challenges your understanding of cause and effect.
This was a hard watch. It had an interesting premise but the film on a whole was extremely bland. The dialogue is forced, the interviews are awkward, and the host has no personality. The only positive I can mention is that some of the cinematography was nice. I decided to rent this on Amazon prime for $5, and it feels like the only thing that was cursed was my wallet. Skip this one.
I now have to fill an extra 300 characters for this review to publish so I am just going to list adjectives that describe this film: Boring, generic, cheesy, bland, uninteresting, drawn out, time wasting, unsatisfying, uninspired.

A Cursed Man is a really interesting documentary because it deals with the supernatural and asks the question: What if the filmmaker gets cursed to see if it's real? Hell yeah, I want to see that. Even if you don't believe in being cursed, why would anyone risk it by willingly being the recipient? Well, thankfully, Liam Le Guillou, the director and star, allows that to happen to him. And we're not talking about a good luck curse-he allows a dark curse, and the way he engages with people who specialize in the dark arts, is a fun way to learn about this world.
A cool aspect of this documentary goes into how Voodoo and witchcraft are all about being interconnected and how the mind can influence our physical being. I kind of now want to study Voodoo. One Voodoo priest even calls out the filmmaker by calling him entitled to want to be cursed, and I'm so happy they left that in because it gives the doc more credibility.
The doc follows Liam who travels all over the world talking with different people who are either experts in black magic or scientists who can put a scientific spin on things.
It's beautifully shot and moves pretty fast. It's worth watching not only to see how the curses affect the filmmaker but also for the intriguing inside look into this dark world from a skeptical filmmaker's perspective.

A very entertaining journey that explores the dark side of magic. Takes you deeper and deeper into the darkness of black magic. Gave me chills more than once. I started off a skeptic but after watching Liam put himself in harms way like that and seeing the results is truly terrifying. Like the old saying goes don't invite the Devil to dinner, he just may show up! "A Cursed Man" is a very well produced film that's locations spanned the globe. It is an extremely entertaining documentary that will take you places you've never seen and maybe never dared to go. I highly recommend watching this documentary! Two big thumbs up!!
