Cursed (2005) - For a film destined to be a mess, it comes out watchable - just

After horror director, Wes Craven, succeeded with massive success with the 'Scream' franchise, so the studio decided to pair them together again in order to start a new franchise with teenagers vs werewolves.

The trouble is, werewolves have to the least scary of Hollywood monsters these days.  I know there have been some exceptions over the years.  We've had 'An American werewolf in London' and 'Dog Soldiers' that did the practical effects really well and created an excellent atmosphere.  However, 'Cursed' doesn't seem to have those films' budgets.  Or if 'Cursed' ever did, the fact that this has gone down as one of the most troubled productions in recent decades.  The film-maker really didn't know where the story was going so many different revisions of the script was circulated and even filmed.     

However, the producers weren't happy.  Even when the film was finished it was released for nearly two years because the producers were still not happy with the final project.  The brought in yet more writers who got rid of some original characters and combining others into just one actor.  The even took out the practical special effect and, instead, put in a lot of bad Playstation 2 cut-scene effects.

So, what you're left with is a complete mess, but, believe it or not, it's not compeltely awful.  Yes, course the story is very disjointed in places, but there's still a small amount of gory fun to have while you guess who the head werewolf is and can he be killed?  Certainly rent, don't by.

6/10 Should probably keep you awake if Freddy Krueger was haunting your nights
