5.0 out of 5 stars Let The Curse Begin, March 14, 2006

By	!! Ravenova Majere !! "Forever Undead" (Zombie Nation) - See all my reviews

I have loved this film since I was a little girl when I first recorded it on Beta. Unfortunately, I lost the tape over the years and have only recently been able to obtain a used VHS. After all these years, I was afraid that I would no longer find that I enjoyed this movie. Luckily, I was wrong. I am still horrified and entranced by this magnificent film.

The horror all begins one stormy night when a meteor plummets to earth and lands on the Hayes farm. Disturbed, the local residents try to discover the identity of this mysterious object. As time goes by, strange events begin to transpire. The produce of the Hayes farm becomes worm infested, the animals start to appear diseased and rabid, and members of the Hayes family begin to become grotesque in appearance, as well as loosing their sanity. What has caused these horrific transformations? Will this horrible plague be ended, or has the terror of The Curse only begun?

I found the acting in this classic film to be very well done. The grim atmosphere that pervaded it was utterly encompassing. The characters, especially Frances, did an excellent job of portraying the quiet horror that was enveloping their lives. Also, the story line flowed wonderfully from the introduction of the Hayes family to the ultimate destruction that followed. However, I do have one word of warning, this movie can be very graphic in certain parts. If you are a person (such as I am) who is made ill by such scenes then you may not be able to completely enjoy this movie. Although such graphic effects often make me ill, I found the other qualities of this movie to be so absorbing that I was able to ignore the more disgusting elements.

To conclude, I would highly recommend this film. From its beginning to the conclusion, I was utterly captivated by the chilling atmosphere and the superb acting. This is one of the quintessential horror films of all time and it is certainly worth the trouble of obtaining it on the used market. It is a movie that you will never forget!

2.0 out of 5 stars a poorly directed, uninspired rendering, May 8, 2002

By	christopher oconnell (gardner, ma United States) - See all my reviews

This movie really should have been scary. The premise was good, and the way in which it was filmed was interesting. The music was absolutly terrible, and the acting was really poor. While the story and idea behind the story were frightening, as a result of it's sheerly boring nature I just can't recommend this movie to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Colour Out Of Space, June 2, 2000

By	"gsibbery" (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Curse [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A faithful rendering of Lovecraft's "Colour Out Of Space", this movie just doesn't quite cut it. It's dull, poorly-acted and not very interesting. Stick to the story if you like Lovecraft.
