Cursed

About This Movie

Cursed (2021) is an interesting mix of drama and horror that really leans into the psychological side of things. Set against the backdrop of a tragic 1960's accident, it explores the lingering shadows of guilt and the way it festers within a family. The atmosphere is quite heavy, almost suffocating at times, pulling you into their despair. The pacing is deliberate; it allows the tension to build gradually, which I appreciate. The performances are solid, with a palpable sense of loss. What caught my eye were the practical effects—there's something refreshing about them in a sea of CGI. There’s a rawness to the whole experience that makes it distinct in today’s horror landscape. Worth a watch if you enjoy more reflective horror narratives.
