The Cursed

A fine production, the dark visual quality and a well working cast make The Cursed aka Eight for Silver worth your time. The only thing I gotta complain is the running time - 155 minutes, which almost inevitably leads to some lengthy or redundant parts and rather weakens the experience than improving. Why so many directors these days think that they have to make such long running movies (Apocalypse Now directors cut just runs half an hour longer but got massively more story to tell), I don't know, but too many times it is really an unwise choice to do so. Anyway, if you like such different horror pleasures like Sleepy Hollow, The Village, The Thing, The Cursed will give you some entertaining time.

The cursed revolves around a werewolf and a set of silver teeth buried in a field. Might sound lame, but it actually works. The root of the killings is deeper than just werewolf violence - and the plot keeps interest where run of the mill werewolves fall short.

The Cursed might be a slow burn, but it delivers pure horror and suspense throughout. The cast is excellent and the cinematography is just gorgeous. I wish more people were talking about this low budget horror flick. It has so many bloody and disgusting surprises that bring audiences sick stomachs and pure enjoyment. Far better than the disaster, Scream 5. Best horror film of the year thus far and I didn't even expect it.

I wished they never changed the original title, Eight for Silver. That name had a unique identity of its own.

An aesthetically pleasing horror drama, beautiful locations, peak cinematography, talented actors, a proper budget, brilliantly written and directed, realistic brutal scenes with outstanding performances.

A unique take on lycanthropy that never ever seen before. I would've rated more if Sean Ellis carried the same momentum he had until the final act.

It's been quite some time since there has been some legitimate horror in this genre. This movie delivers on all the right aspects from the cinematography to the creature effects. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
