THE CURSED IS A HORROR MOVIE EVOVLED FROM REIMAGINING OF THE WEREWOLF LEGEND, WHICH WAS PRIMARILY KNOWN AS THE EIGHT FOE SILVER WHICH I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY CHANGED BEACAUSE IT WAS SUCH A GOD-TEIR NAME IN COMPARISON, THE TITLE IS VERY EASY AND STARIGHT FORWARDLY COMMON. BUT LEAVING THAT ASIDE, AS IT IS SAID THAT DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER SO GOTTA KEEPING THAT IN MIND, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE STORY FOR THIS MOVIE.
THE SYNOPSIS PROVIDED BY WIKIPEDIA NARRATES MOVIE LIKE THIS:
IN RURAL 19TH – CENTURY FRANCE, A MYSTERIOUS, POSSIBLY SUPERNATURAL MENACE THEATRES A SMALL VILLAGE. JOHN MCBRIDE, PATHOLOGIST COMES TO TOWN TO INVESTIGATE THE DANGER & EXORCISE SOME OF HIS OWN DEMONS IN THE PROCESS.
THE TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE IS REALLY GOOD BUT IT DID SHOW SOME IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE MOVIE. THE SHOTS ARE VERY NICELY FILMED AND THE JUMP SCARES ARE PRETTY GOOD TOO. IN THE END WE CAN ALSO SEE A GAINT SWAMP CREATURE, IT KINDA LOOKS LIKE AN CHARACTER STAIGHT OUT OF A CARTOON MONSTER MOVIE BUT IN ALL SENSE THE TRAILER IS REALLY FULLFILING AND GIVES A GOOD PEEK INTO THE MOVIE.
FOR THOSE WHO WOULD BE WONDERING WHAT EAXACTLY DOES EIGHT FOR SILVER MEAN THEN LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE Q&A WITH SEAN ELLIS AT SUNDANCE 2021 AFTER THE WORLD PREMIERE.
ELLIS STATED THAT “HE DIDN’T WANTED TO MAKE AN OLD CLICHE OF A WEREWOLF MOVIE”. ELLIS FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT” SIODMARK(WRITTEN), USED THE CURSE OF THE WOLF AS A METAPHOR FOR BEING JEWISH IN EUROPE IN LATE 30’s”.
THIS LED ELLIS TO PONDER “WHAT PLAGUE MODERN SOCIETY?” HE SAID.
“AND I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT ADDICTION. WHETHER ITS ADDICTION TO DRUGS OR OUR PHONE, I THINK WE’VE ALL EXPERIENCED THAT FEELING OF BEING A SLAVE TO SOMETHING,” he SAID.
