Tango and Cash Nothing happens before the hour mark. So damn boring! Come on. I'm really not sure what else to say. Very, very dull. Did not capture my interest at all. Had to force myself to keep watching it - I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt just to see what happens in the end. Maybe it gets better?No, it doesn't. Very, very boring. An uninspired script, ordinary performances, manufactured conflict.It's not pure trash, it's not a B movie, but it does suck. Glad I got through this one, will never watch it again.

a_chinn So you're Will Wheaton and have just come off of the critical and commercial success of "Stand by Me." What do you do next? You appear in a low budget Italian horror film starting Claude Atkins, of course! "The Curse" starts out as a nature-gone-wild type of horror film, featuring horse and chicken attacks after a meteorite makes things go crazy, but the film moves into "Evil Dead" territory when Wheaton's rural family becomes possessed by demons. The film is a VERY loose adaptation of HP Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space," but it is probably more true to the source material than Boris Karloff's "Die, Monster, Die!" In any case, this film is only worth watching for camp value. One of only three films directed by actor David Keith (not to be confused with Keith David), though I am now quite interested in watching his 1988 Indiana Jones knock-off, "The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck." Interesting fact, Lucio Fulci served as one of the film's producers and reportedly supervised the gory special effects.

curiosarcana As a Lovecraft fan, and an eighty's horror fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Yes, it's sometimes a tad slow, and the effects are low budget by today's standards, but when the icky, nasty stuff does happen, it's gleefully gross and morbidly funny.The characters who suffer the most are the ones you WANT to see suffer, (well, most of them, anyway), right from the get-go. I love that; seeing mean, awful, stupid characters just having a horrible time. And they don't die quickly, oh no. They're embarrassed, injured, made to look really stupid and THEN killed.If you've ever wanted to see a giggling woman sew a sock onto her hand, this is your chance. Or a little girl pecked half to death by chickens, which she could've very easily just ran away from. Sure it's ridiculous, but it's fun to watch.To my mind this stands on the same ground as "Critters" or "Pet Cemetery Two". Its production values are low, the script is predictable, and the pace isn't great, but it is super fun to watch if you like that sort of thing.Plus, if you're familiar with Lovecraft's work, this is "The Colour Out Of Space", minus the color itself. To be fair, when this was made, doing credit to an indescribable, animated color would've been very expensive, and it was obvious that this was made on a shoe string.

Vomitron_G "The Curse" is hardly a stellar movie, but it provides some gross entertainment all the same. This film gained some recognition most likely because of names like Will Wheaton, Lucio Fulci and H.P. Lovecraft being attached to this production. In my country, this film was a bit more appropriately titled "The Farm", since that's the main location of the film anyway and some evil sh!t is going on there. So, a meteor crash lands nearby a farm. The thing melts, seeps into the ground and soon the water, the vegetables, the live stock and - naturally also - humans become infected with the alien substance. And that's where the movie provides us the most fun: with gross make-up effects of larva-infested blisters & mutations. And if you become infected, it won't take long before you'll start acting like a raving maniac. The film builds up to a satisfying climax; albeit fairly incomprehensible what happens to the farmhouse, it does provide a bit of spectacular entertainment. There was a time were I would have been more rigorous in judging this film, but now I can safely say die-hard B-horror movie lovers will sure have some fun with an outing like "The Curse".
