Review: Cursed

Set within the local Hollywood hillsides and suburban population, Cursed gains the viewers attention by being entirely aimed at the younger audience through the casts’ choices in characters and mildly entertaining scenes.

Cursed follows the lives of two young adults who recently suffered the loss of both parents and are trying to come to terms with having to rely upon each other, when their lives are interrupted through the intervention of becoming werewolf’s.

The werewolf section of Cursed starts with a large beast jumping on the bonet of the car that Ellie (Christina Ricci) and Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg) are driving home, resulting in their car colliding with another. With the beast gone they try and assist with helping the other driver, when the beast returns, to attack and eat one of sorry victims of this horrif crash.

Within the accident the beast has managed to cut and slash Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg) and Ellie (Christina Ricci), which starts a none reversible transformation. The transformation stops and becomes complete, only upon the next full moon, which renders some timeframe for Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg) and Ellie (Christina Ricci) to stop this unfortunate series of events.

Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg) starts out with the decision that turning to a werewolf, may not actually be quite so bad, the heightened senses and sexual allure make Jimmy (Jesse Eisenberg) the classic high school loser quite happy for a short while, until he realises the consequences that also come along with the benefits.

Watch the movie to discover how they stop this future from becoming a reality. I believe the only criticism to this movie, is that many will think it could have been a lot better if Wes Craven had his way completely, rather than half of the movie being remade to satisfy the production companies aim for a young generation of movie watchers. Never the less Cursed is a good movie and an entertaining watch.
