Directed by Sean Ellis set In the late 1800s a small countryside town in France. After a band of gypsies shows up making claims to land, where a Landlord and his family live. The lord rounds up a group of men to wipe out the gypsies, and in the process, a curse is placed upon the town and in its tide So find themselves Preyed upon by a werewolf. Monsters have always been a staple of Horror whether it's Demons, Witches, or Vampires there's a certain appeal to all of them. However, when it comes to Werewolf representation in media they almost always played more for laughs nowadays. Usually filled with Campy characters and humor that overshadows the Wolf. The Cursed manages to actually deliver a dark and grime fable. While paying some respect to the classic movie universal. While taking some liberties it's an immersive atmospheric film using the period to its advantage to create a very folklore appeal. Its effects, for the most part, for the most part is most appreciative of practical effect for its gore very brutal and in tone with werewolves. The werewolf itself's use of CG while it is not horrible, the design they chose to go with does make it stand out quite a bit. The movie does take its time to build up but doesn't waste time, and using the wolf to its fullest is probably the only time you'll see a werewolf in the day. The scene is paced well and through the dream sequences can get repetitive it does serve a purpose in connecting everybody. Overall it's a good film with nice shots and good effects it's worth a watch.
