Cursed (Unrated Version) starring Christina Ricci, Jesse Eisenberg, Portia de Rossi, Mya,

When you consider its unfortunate production history, Cursed turned out
surprisingly well as a werewolf thriller that horror buffs will appreciate. Its
hardly the disaster critics made it out to be, but extensive rewriting,
reshooting, recasting, and lengthy delays in production and release
(including the elimination of R-rated gore to earn a PG-13 rating) clearly
took their toll. The result is a fun but flawed monster-show that begins
when a young talk-show producer (Christina Ricci) and her teenaged
brother (Jesse Eisenberg) are bitten by a werewolf, setting the stage for a
horror-in-Hollywood scenario that reunites director Wes Craven and
screenwriter Kevin Williamson, creators of the Scream franchise. What
could have been a classic horror comedy is instead a fairly solid, if
unremarkable, exercise in Los Angeles lycanthropy, featuring wer ewolf
makeup by Rick Baker (combined with CGI transformation effects, of
course) and some of Williamsons snappy dialogue and trademark pop-
culture references. The title of Cursed doubles as a description of this
movies ultimate fate, but in a market filled with straight-to-video horror
fodder, its anything but a lost cause. The supporting cast includes
Shannon Elizabeth, Portia de Rossi and Joshua Jackson, so genre
aficionados should definitely check it out. --Jeff Shannon
