Avis à la une
THE ACCURSED is a typically cheap and uninteresting low budget horror yarn that's far too dark for its own good and really tedious on a visual level. The story sees a young woman taking on the role of carer for a mysterious reclusive elderly lady living in a remote cabin, and an aged Mena Suvari shows up as a sinister aide. The patient turns out to be '80s favourite Meg Foster, not that she has much to do. The lead is unlikeable and the horror limited to predictable possession scares and some gross-out moments I didn't much care for, but perhaps if you could actually see what was going on it would all be a little bit better.
This was more fun than I had expected. First of all, the opening to the movie was great! Whoever came up with that idea was on the ball. The story throughout was spooky and the actors did an amazing job. As for the story.... my knowing there's something fishy happening but not knowing who to trust gave me a feeling similar to the one I got while watching The Skeleton Key. As a movie with a movie-sized budget (I'm assuming), it was okay. I didn't feel like I wasted my time and thought it was decent. As an episode of something like Supernatural, it would have been extremely well received and highly praised. If I come to learn that this was made on a small budget, I'll add a star to my score.
Overall, The Accursed 2022 ( not to be confused with any of the other accursed movies out there) was pretty underwhelming. The acting is a bit wooden at times, but not horrible. It's a fairly straightforward and predictable horror movie. I was drawn to this film because it has Alexis Knapp in it. Alexis isn't the greatest actor in the world, but she is cute, and I am glad she is trying to make a comeback found out about this. Sadly this movie doesn't give her much to work with. They really underutilized Alexis, as she is only in a few scenes despite being the best actor in the movie. I do love that Alexis got her daughter to be in this film with her. Little Kailani Knapp is actually super creepy and was perfect for the part she plays. I hope she has a big career ahead of her. Sarah Dumont, who I hadn't heard of prior to watching this film, is gorgeous, and the film knows it. In practically every scene, she is either in a workout bra or showing ample cleavage. She probably only got the part to be the movie's eye candy, but who can blame them? However, besides looking pretty, the script doesn't really give her much to do. In fact, all three of the female leads are beautiful, but it doesn't change the fact that the movie is a bit bland. There are a few jump scares here and there, but for the most part, it is all things you have seen done better in other horror movies, with one exception that I won't. All I'll say is it was gross. Overall, It wasn't a bad film, but I'd probably say wait until you can see it on a streaming service you already pay for.
Plot
Elly is asked by a family friend to look after an elderly woman living in a remote cabin for a few days. She agrees, but soon discovers there is a demon hiding in the woman just waiting to break free.
Cast
Those I'm unfamiliar with flanked by the incredible contract of awful Suvari and always welcome Foster.
Verdict
The Accursed was the wifey's Saturday night pick and though unfamiliar with this I wasn't opposed to it. I just did however wonder why I'd never heard of it.
The opening sequence was memorable, interesting and got me excited for what was the come. Alas what was to come was a dreadfully boring hour and a half of standard horror tropes, clichés, mediocre performances and fighting to keep my eyes open.
The Accursed is "Cursed" with a lack of originality, lifeless characters and a plot similar to countless other horror films.
The Accursed is a lifeless forgettable possession tale swimming in an ocean of forgettable horror movies. However I'd recommend wading a bit further to find something better.
Rants
Is originally in horror dead or is it just the industry as a whole? As I look at my 17.4k ratings on IMDB (Don't judge me) I realize I'm becoming very difficult to impress because I've quite literally seen it all. Watching thigs often feels like a chore, not because I don't want to but because I feel like everything is rehashed and that the industry are getting away with it because new generations are new blissfully unaware audiences. I craze something new!
The Good
Solid opening A couple of notable ideas Meg Foster
The Bad
Mena Suvari Bland characters Rather boring Overwhelmed with clichés and trope's.

I was really hoping to get some good witchy horror but just got this...the lead feels so off vibe for the tone they were going for. What can I say...if that girl is a nurse I am Marilyn Monroe.
It is impossible to feel any scare through this character, I gave it a 3 stars for Mena Suvari and Meg Foster, and maybe the production design...the houses are really creepy...but that just come with the southern gothic style.
The opening feels from a completely different movie, and it is so disappointing that it is not that movie.
Thought to turned off before half way but kept the hope it would get better...so naive.
