Cursed (2005) ** [Craven Monster Double Feature Pt. 2]

Very mid-2000s horror with atrociously bad CGI, Wes Craven's Cursed (2005) is poorly plotted, messily staged, and features mediocre acting and a bad soundtrack. It's clearly evident that it's a Kevin Williamson-penned script, as it feels like a remnant of the ‘90s teen horror boom (basically the werewolf version of 1996’s Scream (review) or 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer). Even if it hadn't been plagued by reshoots, plots changes, and the unfortunate firing of makeup legend Rick Baker, I'm not convinced that Cursed would have been a great film. While not all bad (there's a few funny moments), it's noisy, unexciting, and formulaic.
