Ah, October... What better time of year than to turn off all the lights in the house, kick back, and watch a scary movie or two? And what's even better than a regular scary movie? A scary movie that comes with a real-life curse, of course! No, I'm not talking about the sort of cursed movie that brings certain doom to anyone who would dare watch it (this isn't The Ring, after all), although some of these WILL scare you. Maybe not to literal death, but scare you. No... I'm talking those where, for whatever reason, an unusual amount of bad luck visited the actors and crew who worked on these films. And thus urban legends are born.
Cursed Films is a five-part documentary that takes an in-depth look at The Poltergeist Curse, deadly tragedies on the set of The Crow and The Twilight Zone, and whether the script of The Omen may (or may not) have angered evil and vengeful entities. Each episode focuses on a different cursed film and features interviews with crew members, actors, and "experts" in the field.
Cursed Films was definitely interesting and worth watching. Plus it made me want to revisit movies I haven't seen since I was a teen (like the Poltergeist trilogy) so I can watch them with a new perspective. Because a real-life curse definitely adds a scare factor to an already creepy film!
