Curse

About This Movie

Curse is a fascinating blend of fantasy and horror from 1985 that dives deep into the darker sides of human desire and desperation. The film centers around Tu, who finds herself trapped in a grotesque marriage, her life a stark contrast to her true feelings for the gardener. The pacing can feel slow at times, but it builds this oppressive atmosphere that really reflects Tu’s entrapment. The practical effects are noteworthy, especially for its time, adding that gritty layer to the horror elements. Performances vary, but there's this rawness to them that feels genuine, particularly in the moments of despair and betrayal. The film's distinct take on love and tragedy makes it a curious watch, albeit with some uncomfortable themes.
