The Curse

About This Movie

The Curse (1988) is a curious blend of horror and mystery that really nails that unsettling vibe. It revolves around a family lost in the mountains, which gives it this claustrophobic tension. The pacing is interesting; it takes its time building atmosphere before unraveling the bizarre connection between the daughter and a deceased girl who looks just like her. The practical effects are decent for its time, contributing to some genuinely eerie moments. Performances are solid, with a palpable sense of dread that creeps in as the story unfolds. What stands out is how it plays with themes of identity and the uncanny, making it feel unique in the landscape of late '80s horror.
