Hangman's Curse (2003)
Stereotypical tripe
I just watched this 'movie' and I must say that it was possibly one of the worst that I have ever seen.
First off there is the stereotypical portrayal of the goth subculture. By golly....all goths worship Satan and want their classmates dead! When I was a goth in high school(late 1980's)I personally worshiped a fellow student who committed suicide and prayed to him to kill all of the 'jocks'. You better believe it!!! It's like the makers of the film studied my life and patterned the 'goths' in the movie after me! WOW!!!If you can't tell that I am being sarcastic then you probably like this movie.
Everything about this movie is trite and patterned on stereotypes. Even the ending is typical. The 'evil' looking 'goth' kids suddenly change their clothes and are happy. As if changing your clothes can all of a sudden change your whole entire attitude. Every time I wear jeans and a 'normal' shirt I know that I feel at peace with the world and want to throw frisbees in a park.
About twenty minutes from the ending my boyfriend commented that he thought it was a 'christian' movie, and he was right. Who else but close minded bigots would portray a subculture is such a light. Instead of actually doing some research they perpetuated the whole 'goths' are evil stereotype. Not all Christians are bigots, but the people who made this movie are sure not practicing what they are preaching.
Stay away from this movie. If you are reading this while drunk you may want to look into it just for the pure entertainment value of seeing David Keith with an upside-down cross drawn on his forehead.
Cursed (2005)
Wes Craven strikes out
This is one terrible movie. So terrible that I feel sorry for my boyfriend who rented it for us to watch.
Everything about this movie stinks. The dialog is horrible,the acting wooden,the CGI effects fake looking and the whole story premise tired and boring.How am I supposed to care about what happens to the characters when,by the end of the movie, I wish that they would just shut up and die already? This film did not to be made because everything it in has been done before by better directors. If you like werewolves see American Werewolf In London.....it's better.
This movie is a terrific example of what is wrong with horror movies these days.Directors stick a bunch of crappy young actors together,show some gore, and expect us to fall for their awful screenplays. I'll stick with watching Hammer Studio horror movies from now on......at least those were made well and had good actors.
