Cursed (2005) 7/10

Starring : Christina Ricci, Joshua Jackson, Jesse Eisenberg, Judy Greer, Michael Rosenbaum
Director : Wes Craven
Running Time : 95 mins

When Ellie (Ricci) and her brother Jimmy (Eisenberg) are attacked by a wolf, they start to exhibit some very strange symptoms, and when a series of animal attacks occur in close proximity to each other they start to fear that they might actually be responsible in some way for the fatalities and that they may have been turned into werewolves.

Although not as good as the Scream series, which had the same writer and director, this tongue in cheek scary movie still has some good things going for it. The humour isn't in your face, so its subtlety really helps it appeal to hard core horror fans as well as fans of teen comedies, and the acting, though not brilliant, still helps to keep the surprises coming thick and fast.
