This soundtrack is great! I am a huge fan of Collective Soul and was pleased to see them as part of the album. A must have for every movie-goer and soundtrack collector!

I love movies and love movie soundtracks. This is by far one of the best soundtracks out right now. I made sure to pick this one up as soon as it came out. I like the variety. My favorites include Dashboard Confessional and Collective Soul. This one does not dissapoint. Make it a part of your collection!

I found the soundtrack to have an eclectic mix of artists and was particularly impressed by the new Dashboard Confessional song.

the soundtrack is excellent. They put just the right songs onto it. Whoever arranged the soundtrack has a good taste in music.

I really like every song on the soundtrack! Although "Better Now" by Collective Soul is my favorite on the CD! I do recommend it for anyone who likes good music!

This was an awesome album!!! It rox my sox and rolls my toes!!! LOL, no clue where I got that, but whatever. Buy this album and join the i-squad @ i-squad.com!!!! Peace!!! I'm outie!

This is a cool sountrack with lots of good songs. Check it out- recommended!

I was expecting this soundtrack to be sorta boring and bad... but it totally wasn't! I love almost every song on this soundtrack! It's a great soundtrack and everyone should pick one up and see for your self!!!

Cutting to the chase, Cursed the movie was a dreadful mess completely demolished by its undermining PG-13 rating. While it had decent acting, anything else that could have been decent was butchered by the affore mentioned rating snafu.
Cursed, the Soundtrack, fares better. It is one of those rare horror movie soundtracks that lacks the forbodding Parental Advisory sticker which also could be another means of selling out the genre to appeal to a more teen oriented crowd. Yet, the soundtrack does not suffer in the same vain that the movie did.
In fact, the soundtrack holds its own as it churns out a compilation of rock, electronica, and pop... all smoothly flowing from song to song. As an opener for the album, "Lil Red Riding Hood" by Bowling for Soup is both catchy and tongue in cheek. As an opening to a horror film it is a bit much satrical and not at all indicative of the 'suspensful' mood the film should have possesed. "Better Now" by Collective Soul is a wonderful song, but again, not something suited for a horror film. It has pop froth sound to it that makes it seem so lite to the doomed theme. As a matter of fact, the majority of the songs on this soundtrack lack any of that typical angst to be found in songs featured on a horror film. A good chunk of these songs are simple put, songs about life. There is hardly any tension, which is funny considering that in the liner notes, Craven states that music helps create the film. While all the songs on this album are really good, I can't help but wonder if... along with the PG-13 rating, the music is what aided with nuetering this werewolf flick. None of the songs really indicate any freaky happenings and give way to eerie thoughts of the films intense (um, when the werewolf flicked off the hero, it was tense because I thought people were gonna riot against the film creators mocking their intellegence) moments. Even the techno songs seem to lean more towards the chill out lounge party than the building dread of a woman becoming a beast. And if any song on this soundtrack is indicative of all that I've said, it would be the silly but fun and catchy remix of the Freaks Come Out at Night song. It is electronic and fast building, but it is more humerous to listen too than utilizing at as a force to conjure up dread for a frightening situation.
While the movie being nuetered is a damaging thing, this album being of the same vain is not nearly as bad. It just doesn't fit with the type of film it was intended for.
Overall... a good album. Great music... aweful concept.

The soundtrack for Cursed is not exactly what I thought it would be. I like the songs on it, but I was expecting, I think, perfection and it is not. It is not quite up to par for many of the bands that are on this CD. This CD is not that bad, however, it is not special. If you like the bands I would purchase it for those bands, but if you are wondering about the bands I would hold off on this CD. And buy one of the bands CD you like.
