Cursed - Il maleficio Ratings e Recensioni
- Shaydeknight21 dicembre 2025Cursed (2005) is one of those films where the quality is questionable but the entertainment value is undeniable. I loved it. As a movie, it's a bit shite, but as an experience, it's a blast. Christina Ricci and Jesse Eisenberg do a great job, generally, but the film at one point tries to portray them as changed and sexually alluring, and that simply doesn't land. The audience, alas, is immune to whatever pheromones the film thinks are in play. Ricci has what can only be described as a five-head (that's one bigger than a forehead), and Eisenberg has always radiated aggressively anti-sexy energy. No amount of moonlight fixes that. Milo Ventimiglia, however, is a personal favourite. He'll always be Peter Petrelli from Heroes to me, but he does a nice job here. The film also deserves a lot of credit for taking the tired "American bully who torments the protagonist for no apparent reason" trope and flipping it into something else entirely. That was a clever little turn. The werewolf transformations are enjoyable, even if the CGI is painfully dated and very much of its era. The story itself is silly but serviceable, and crucially, the film never pretends to be more than it is. It knows it's dumb fun and commits to that fully. There's also some genuinely solid craft underneath the camp: simple but effective camera work, a nicely used LA backdrop, and sets that feel economical without feeling cheap. In that sense, Cursed plays like a love letter to low-budget 80s horror: it's tight, scrappy, and unapologetically pulpy. And yes, I saw a werewolf flip someone off. That alone earns it a recommendation. Bonus points if you can spot Nick Offerman in a "before he was famous" role. Not a good movie but it was fun to watch.
- Derek30 settembre 2025Apparently the version to see is the extended directors cut, which is rated R. This wasn’t that version and it was quite bad. One really great stand out scene in the parking garage, but mostly just a meh film. Still great to check out one of Wes Cravens last movies.
