The Cursed (2021, Sean Ellis)
Moody Victorian period drama about a monster curse.
🪖⛺️🔥🦷🧌⏩⏩🤷😐 Yay WWI. Oh, little concern for accuracy. Flashback 30 years. Another minority group for wealthy Europeans to oppress on screen. Very nice production during the long shot of the tent-burning in one long take. The droning, jangly discordant string score is a bit overused in horror films. Excessive spooky dreams. More mood than story. Couldn’t force myself to care about any of the personality-free characters. Started fast-forwarding about halfway through. I guess everything turned out okay and everyone learned their lesson? (Hulu.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cursed_(2021_film) https://letterboxd.com/jaedia/film/the-cursed-2021/
