The Curse of the Necklace

There are a lot of mediocre horror movies out there, but this is one of the worst I've seen. The writing, acting, and directing are all bad. It's set in the 60s, but nothing other than their clothes makes it seem like the 60s. Give them cell phones and different clothes and it would seem like a modern day story. And the writing was terrible. It was a completely unoriginal story, which isn't unusual in the horror world. But it was just written so badly.

I don't have anything else to say about this terrible, terrible, terrible movie. Thus ends my review of The Curse of the Necklace. Don't watch it!

But for reasons only known to certain people, parents never can explain the simplest things to their children. Like your dad is a drunken obnoxious thief who stole a piece of costume jewelry as a make up gift for his wife who see him for the POS that he is. Or when told to do something, these kids do the opposite, and a better ending would have been all of them not making it top the final credits, but here we go with the BS Happily ever after nonsense. But what else did you expect when this movie was co-produced by the principle actors families.

I didn't find this very watchable, predictable yes, but hardly watchable due to the many cliched teenage angst/malcontent and basically being rebels without a clue.

Turns out to be a possession'ish story, one that needs to be shortened a lot. Be prepared for a lot of padding unless you need something to put you to sleep. I would really liked to have rated this higher because its a well made movie and there's a lot of very nice cinematography in it. The special fx are nice and they keep it pretty dark.

There are a lot of 'I would like to haves' but what's the point. What is this necklace? You must wait 1hr till any information about it comes forward. Jumping forward 1hr isn't a bad move because up until that point its just a mildly tormented family story. You'll want some coffee for this one because you don't want to fall asleep. It gets pretty good in the last leg.

Better movies like this that I would recommend; The Amityville Horror(1979), The Omen(1976), Poltergeist(1982), Pet Sematary(1989), or The Exorcist(1973).

Well, i totally agree with negative comments but also i will not give a rates like 2 or 1 because that can be harsh. Let me talk about cast first, these young girls were really really good , this girl from Megan was really brilliant actress and i am so sure we will see her much on screen. As i told you at the beginning, there is nothing new in this movie , classic possession from bad spirit , super cliché. I didn't understand why daddy figure has ended like this , in my opinion he didn't deserve and i wanted an another ending for him , actually with this one really stupid.. final was like it will be suitable for second part but i am sure if they make that, it will be boring and unlogical so much.. watchable without expectations.

Frank is a cop who's been exiled by wife Laura, and he thinks he found a way back into her good graces when he stumbles onto an amulet from a cold case in the evidence room. However, it ends up in the clutches of their daughters, Ellen, who begins seeing a mysterious little boy, and Judith, who begins seeing a sinister woman.

To be blunt, the target demographic on this movie is teenage girls, and it's sure to please them. This is a period piece and has a real Conjuring/Insidious type of vibe, with a smattering of The Exorcist. Good acting, compelling characters, effective creepiness, a mix of both practical and CG FX.

But I'm a jaded old fart and couldn't help but feeling a sense of "been there, done that." All of the pieces came together very well, but it just didn't feel like it had anything to really make it stand out from other movies of the ilk. Still, on its own merits, it's a good movie... I'm just way outside the target demo.
