A film that is overshadowed by its admittedly tumultuous production history and horror stories of studio interference. It's still not a good movie, though. Go to Full Review

Latrell Feb 21, 2022 It was not interesting, my son was bored and so was I. I may be slow a lil bit but was confused most of the movie See more Alex B @AlexBioni 5 days ago Enough of the Biting This movie isn't good. The performances are okay, but even good actors can't save poorly written dialogue. The corny lines are hard to take seriously, yet it keeps throwing in bad jokes. It screams Weinstein production, and the gay jokes feel like overcompensation. The Hollywood setting is cliché, and the tone swings between serious and goofy. It feels more like 1999 than 2005. Even the parking garage scene is cliché. The werewolves look good, but remind me of Dog Soldiers, which had a smaller budget and came out three years earlier. Jimmy is annoying, pulling info from random books and comics while acting like an expert. His squeak was louder than mine when I was 10. Not even Wes Craven can save it. The sets and props are generic, and the movie feels derivative. The whole thing boils down to “hey, I'm a werewolf.” The twists are silly, and it wants to be Scream but isn't. Not much happens, and I was checked out by the third act. Overall, it's forgettable. See more Theresa T @RT01764287 Oct 18, 2026 It’s definitely not a horror werewolf movie. One of the funniest werewolf movies besides American werewolf in Paris. Love them both and hilarious. See more Robert P @Superbad Oct 5, 2026 Cursed is a terrible movie! See more Ian S @RT48225084 Jun 19, 2026 Only Christina Ricci kept it watchable. One of Craven's weaker efforts. Didn't make it to the finish without good use of the fast forward button. Weak and dull. See more Nick O @Nicki1985 Jun 25, 2025 Sure, it absolutely oozes 2000’s era horror with everything from the cast to the dialogue, but even if Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson didn’t try very hard, they still managed to make a pretty fun werewolf flick.
