"a confusing mess, occasionally funny, but with hardly enough bite to get you howling"
Movie Gazette
Anton Bitel
B-
"
Cursed
may as well be retitled
Guilty Pleasure
, because that's exactly what it is."
FromTheBalcony
Bill Clark
2/5
"
Cursed
feels like a series of curveballs designed to confuse the audience into thinking they're watching anything other than bad dialogue."
Bloody Disgusting
Brian Juergens

"Horror audiences should come to realize that Hollywood hates them if this is the best effort they could provide after making the same movie twice."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"Cursed opens with a fortune teller bearing bad news. "
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2.5/4
"...boredom never quite sets in thanks to the engaging performances..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
2/10
"film whose authors require so many excuses doesn't deserve an audience"
Draxblog Movie Reviews
Dragan Antulov
2.5/4
"As a PG-13,
Cursed
is a lesser, more cowardly effort, but one that still has enough giddy buoyancy and slick thrills to lift above its last-minute studio tinkering."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
C-
"It wanders for quite a while, seemingly unsure what it's supposed to be doing.... I wanted to snap my fingers to get the movie's attention and say, 'Movie! Over here! Focus!'"
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
1.5/4
"Squanders its potential with idiotic chilling flourishes that wouldn’t upstage a Halloween mask. Fittingly, this is one withering werewolf saga that certainly bites the dust"
Movie Eye

"In the end the title seems to refer to the filmmakers--and the audience--rather than the characters."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1.5/4
"Not since primitive stop-motion special effects turned Lon Chaney into the Wolf Man has a movie lycanthrope looked so unconvincing."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1.5/4
"bears all the hallmarks of a film that has been worked and reworked and reworked again"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
4/10
"...why would anyone pay good money to see this?"
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
34/100
"If this is the way Craven is headed, we should be mourning the loss of a true talent."
FilmFocus
Joe Utichi
4/10
"It's disheartening to see three so extraordinary talents as Craven, Williamson, and Ricci create so distinctly ordinary a product. (Unrated Version)"
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
"Cursed is a sheep in wolf’s clothing, pulling the wool over what might have been a decent bit of rip and shred."
Light Views
John Larsen
1/5
"full review in Greek"
Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis
3/5
"This film could easily be the
Springtime for Hitler
of horror movies."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1/5
"The film vacillates between inanity and flat-out lameness, and the decision to recut from an R-rated version to a PG-13 sucked out whatever life might have been left."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
1/5
"Messy and disconnected, not scary but not really funny, and nearly completely uninteresting."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
2.5/4
"
Cursed
gets off on the wrong foot by failing to introduce the characters properly. This is an error from which it never recovers, despite some moments that work well."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
1/4
"The best thing that can be said about
Cursed
is that it’s scarier than
Teen Wolf Too
."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
"Subestima a inteligência do espectador do início ao fim e apela para todo tipo de clichê de direção para tentar provocar sustos ocasionais."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
D+
"
Cursed
, somehow, manages to not be scary, not be funny and not be involving, all of which Craven & Co. are so painfully reaching to attain."
TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)
Rick Curnutte
2/5
"It really never deserved to be more than a quickie TV-movie on the WB, where it would've aired around Halloween and then faded into oblivion."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
1.5/5
"There's nothing here that's remotely spooky or creepy or compelling. This is simply one of the most
inert
horror films I've ever seen."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
2.5/4
"Decent, if uninspired."
Reel.com
Timothy Knight
1/4
"A werewolf film, completely neutered."
