The Accursed

Who in the world thought this movie was ready for release? Who is responsible for casting? Who wrote this crap? Painful to watch. Even for free. Just brutal. Hard pass.

A lot of nine and ten star reviews for this one, especially the first reviews. You get it by now. Those are written by people involved in the movie or by people that know somebody involved in the movie. All reviews from people that never reviewed another movie before and that will probably never will review another movie again unless the director decides to give it another shot in the future. If I was the director I would just keep it at this one and try to find another job because it's not good. Very weak directing, mediocre actors (and I'm being gentle here) and a story that is more laughable than enjoyable. Every ten minutes or so they see something suspicious and of course there's a remedy for it. For example a bird flies into a window, let's get some salt at the door entrance. I was waiting for a radish drenched in garlic sauce at one point, you can't imagine how bad the script was. I was annoyed for the entire movie, not only because of the incredible dull script but also the acting of some really bad actors. Don't waste your time on this one, it's been all done before and way better, even though that's not difficult to do.

I liked the first scene featuring the witch and the curse but after that the movie took too much time with introduction and filler story and never recovering from that - the script definitely misses a feel for pace and momentum. What else? The Accursed got a solid B-movie production and acting but the level on the horror-o-meter is rather low, nothing remarkable here: the many pleasures of the real art of horror this is not, the Holy Grail you must find on another place - everything feels overly familiar and executed rather half-hearted. Anyway, The Accursed may find more approval by an audience that is satisfied by a pretty standard horror production or that is just beginning to explore the wonders of the art of the many horrors.

Even hot gypsies couldn't save this movie. I'm not real picky as long as I'm entertained. This movie was really poorly made , it's rare when I can't finish a movie but this one was too boring.

It's not a jumpy horror, it's a slow burn, building up the story based on previous events.

More of a horror drama.

I loved it & will be watching more of the Director's films.
