"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

F
"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  Frank Ochieng

D
"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."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
