    This movie just fell on its face in the end

    I'd like to start out by saying @jdpark-29254 you need to go get some help buddy, you're wound up way too tight. To get that upset about pronouncing an old German guys name that I assure you most people haven't heard of unless they are specializing in his same field, well yeah you just need to see a professional or get laid or something I dunno.

    On to the movie, it started out with a different spin on urban legends and what have you but then it got lost in itself and just deflated and fell flat in the end. I do my best to not put spoilers so you can read my warning to skip this particular movie before hand, doesn't do you any good after the fact lol. So, story? Nope. Acting? Actually was pretty good except for Ross, yeah Diana Ross's son. Terrible actor, terrible cast choice, very annoying, not to mention he has a girls voice. I kid you not, you can close your eyes and when he talks, you'd could argue it may be a girl talking. Everything was tolerable but, bad story and bad cast? Well you're pretty much done at that point anyway. I'd skip this one unless you are having trouble finding something to watch because this is still better than a lot of real stinkers I've seen sadly in the past. That's why I'm here though, my suffering to save you your precious and valuable time. Until my next review, keep the film rolling.

    I want my 90 minutes back

    Half decent movie with the worst possible ending. I feel I wasted 90 minutes of my life on this crap. Not sure I want to take chances on these films anymore. And I'm an avid horror fan! What was Danny Glover thinking????

    Terrible ending

    Average horror with a terrible ending. Not worth it.

    Terrible Ending made move worse.

    It could have been real good, but never made it, the ending made the whole thing waste of time. Too bad it had potential. Stupid Ending.

    Oh, it bucked out alright...

    Sure, while I had actually never heard about the 2017 horror movie "The Curse of Buckout Road" prior to stumbling upon it here in 2025, of course I opted to watch the movie on account of it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And I am a big fan of all things horror after all.

    But talk about a swing and a miss from writers Shahin Chandrasoma, Matthew Currie Holmes and Johnny Pascucci, because the storyline in the movie was one of the dullest and most boring ones I've sat through in a long, long time. The pacing of the narrative was sluggishly slow, and there just wasn't much of anything interesting happening to spruce up the otherwise dull movie. So it was not a great horror experience.

    The acting performances in the movie were fair, despite the fact that the script was rubbish. There were some familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Danny Glover, Henry Czerny and Colm Feore.

    Visually, then the movie was okay. It wasn't exactly a movie that were throwing special effects left and right. But whatever effects were in the movie were fair enough.

    If you enjoy horror movies, then "The Curse of Buckout Road" is not a movie that I would recommend. Nor is it a movie that will ever grace my screen a second time.

    My rating of director Matthew Currie Holmes's 2017 movie "The Curse of Buckout Road" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
