Horror.com gets Cursed!

[bwind22]

Cursed sucked. It was an Americanized Ginger Snaps wannabe with a "hot, young cast". Definately one of Craven's worst and certainly not even close to being the scariest movie of the year.

They need to fire this StaciLayne broad and get a reviewer in there that knows what the fuck they are talking about.

"Cursed is the most terrifying movie of the year." :rolleyes:

Give me a fucking break. We're probably the laughing stock of the online horror community for that one. (And if it's not for that, then it's probably for having Harry fucking Potter on the main page for like 2 months! Either way, they are probably laughing at us.)

We've still got half the year left but I think High Tension will hold it's thus far owned titled.

I haven't seen Cursed or High Tension yet, but from what I have read so far, you are probably right.

Cursed I will see eventually, but the PG-13 rating disappoints me without even seeing it. I have heard that Craven wanted to make the movie more violent and more intense in general. I wonder what it might have been had Craven been allowed to do what he wanted.

I think the fact that Stacy got our site on the cover of a DVD is admirable. Firing her doesnt solve anything. More power to you Stacy. Keep up the good work and maybe you'll get the review right next time.
Firing her would be like your boss firing you for bringing HER the wrong doughnut. Makes no sense.:rolleyes:

If she thought Cursed was anything but a cheap Hollywood knock off of a better movie then she should be fired because she obviously doesnt know the first thing about horror movies.

Trust me I am....I doubt you'll be able to find anyone here that'll tell you Cursed is better than High Tension.


Scream got a NC-17 rating and they cut alot of it so I have no problem with believe that Craven would've made it better without Kevin Williamson or the studio trying to make it into a kiddy bullshit WB film.

I don't think I've seen an NC-17 rated Scream version but I'd certainly be interested in watching it if I could find one. That film was actually quite violent for a mainstream horror movie when it came out, so I'm not doubting that this NC-17 version exists, I just haven't seen it. (And now I want to.)

Also, yeah, I'm sure Craven would have made a cooler movie than what Cursed turned out to be if he had been granted some artistic license. It definately woulda been better than the bubblegum piece of shit we ended up with.

This is definately not the first time that a slogan or phrase was used to hype up sales. Hollyweird doesnt give a shit if it was scary or not. As long as the money put out to make it is earned back, why should they. I hardly think that a little over-exagerating is cause to fire anyone. Shit when The Village was first trailered, it was introduced as a horror flic. It was anything but horror.

I don't see it as over-exagerating. I see it as being 100% dead wrong on a review. If a movie reviewer isn't capable of putting forth an accurate review, then they aren't performing at their job. I'd fire 'em.

Now don't get me wrong... If her job was to get Horror.com mentioned on the box of a movie at all costs, no matter how shitty the movie was, then she accomplished her mission. Personally, I'd rather have it on a decent movie with an accurate review, but maybe that's just me... :rolleyes: Unless someone told her to write a kiss-ass review in hopes of getting mentioned on the DVD box, I'd just say she sucks...

I'd fire a chef that sends the wrong food to the wrong tables, I'd fire a secratary that writes down messages incorrectly and I'd fire a movie reivewer that doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. She's not doing a good job of reviewing horror movies if she thought that was the most terrifying movie of the year and it's as simple as that...

Well, I like to build on my collection too, but you won't see me adding this one to it any time soon.

I saw it because I generally like werewolf movies too. In fact, this one was much better tha first time around when it was called Ginger Snaps. (Christina Ricci has been hot since she was Wednesday Addams, but that didn't make this movie any better for me.)

It's cool that HDC was on a DVD package. It just sucks that it was for giving a good review to a lame ass movie.

I think people are getting a bit too carried away with this 'review' thing on the cursed DVD cover....

Has anyone read Staci's review for cursed here She's covered the theatrical version and the unrated version, and going buy her words in the review, quoted and amongst others...

and you understand that Cursed is just a light, fun, popcorn flick, I recommend you give the disc a whirl.

it is highly unlikely that she actually had anything to do with the words "Cursed is the most terrifying movie of the year." used on the cover of the DVD....comon guys you should know it's the usual 'sales pitch' tripe the film production companys print all over dvd covers.

It's a case of that HDC has most likely been endorsed on the cover as she's briefly reviewed the two versions, and Wes Craven has been interviewed by Staci.... it's a bit of give and take..

If she didn't actually say it, then it pisses me off that much more. No one here (that I've talked to) even thought that movie was very good, let alone remotely "terrifying", but anyone that looks at the cover of it is going to think this site is full of a bunch of 15 year olds that think Cursed is the best thing to happen in horror since Scream (sarcasm) because that's what the cover of the box makes it out to say.

yeah, I get what your saying, and inaccuracies like that can look silly, but I couldn't give a flying fuck what people think when they read that line
