Cursed Films

All the episodes are very entertaining/intriguing. A couple episodes have moments where they go on misdirected tangents, but it all still works. That said, I thought The Crow episode was the most effective. And that shot in the Twilight Zone episode... Holy crap. I'll remember that footage for the rest of my life. I'd love to see another season of this show. Jay Cheel is a talented filmmaker.

The show isn't too bad, informative but they do derail from their topic on the episode each time, especially the last episode spent more time discussing things not related to the title. I do enjoy the stories though from the original people on these cursed sets and what not however.

REVIEW - CURSED FILMS

Shudder Original

The Exorcist The Poltergeist The Omen The Crow Twilight Zone - The Movie

There are quite a few rumours or urban myths around surrounding some films and apparently that they were cursed.

This short series explores if these are true and actually, wether you believe in such things or not actually some of the events do seem more than coincidence.

Very interesting and enjoyable watch especially as some of the facts surrounding these films are more scary than the films themselves.

Rating 9 out of 10

I thought this show was really interesting! It features a variety of movies and the crude rumors and horrible tragedies that surround them. The show also has interviews with various cast and crew members from each movie that tell their stories about working on the film. It also debunks some of the scary myths that make these movies seem cursed. I really enjoyed this docuseries. I thought it was well made and interesting.

Shudder is a channel for horror fans, right? Horror fans are generally obsessive and do research on most the films they love, right? The concept of this show is terrific, in theory. However, it just feels like you're reading through a wikipedia page. The show offers no new knowledge and the pacing is all over the place. Especially in the second episode. Poltergeist didn't offer much new info either, but was more grounded in the emotional impact of O'Rourke and Dunne's deaths. The show had potential. So far, it's not mustering up the excitement i hoped for. Let's hope "The Crow" and "Twilight Zone : The Movie" conclude the season on a higher note.
