Cursed

On Tuesday, I watched Cursed. We were meant to go and see The Island, but alas, it was sold out.

Well, as far as horror movies go, any movies that try to take themselves seriously either have to be done really good, be original and have a decent story line. This movie doesn’t even get one of those right. Well, maybe that’s because it is not trying to take itself seriously.

This movie is a movie about what Wes Craven does best, horror. It really worked, because it started out as though it was taking itself seriously, but about half an hour or so in (a bit too long IMHO), it became clear that it was a spoof.

Used all the classic horror devices, and was coupled with some really awesome one-liners. As a movie that half an hour in, I was seriously contemplating walking out of, it recovered and recovered spectacularly. I came out feeling entertained.

Or, maybe that was because I didn’t really feel like going back up to campus and burning the late night oil…
