... are so many cool things not used in the film that kind of just show up for no reason and then you get no real closure. Portia De Rossi for example. The film opens with her as a Gypsy at a beach side carnival. She tells two girls to beware the "mark of the beast". Gypsy's are great plot tools in Werewolf movies. We get to see her twice and all she does is warn people. Boo. How about helping lift the curse or showing us some kind of Werewolf mythology...no, we have Jimmy comb the internet for that. Wasted character #1 Gypsy Lady. Wasted Character #2? Scott Baio...YEAH Scott Baio is in this but for no reason other than being Scott Baio...what year is this? There's even a character named Joanie (Judy Greer) but there's no play on the fact that Chachi is in the same movie. If you going to resurrect some actor for a horror film at least make him one of the Werewolves.
Boo again.

"Cursed" just gives you more of the same. The Werewolves end op beating each other up in hopes of ending the curse. This movie could have been so much more. I think I might actually go rent a copy of "Wolf" seeing as how Jack Nicholson sniffing pee is infinitely more interesting than watching the bad wig they put on Michael Rosenbaum (who went uncredited in this film, good choice my man)...the wig however is much more entertaining than the actual Werewolf design in this movie. Boo times two.

...back to beginning
