The Stop Button Posted by on May 1, 2020

So, remember last time when I was worried about Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) and his subplot with the vampire hunters and then said I shouldn’t be worried about it because I should just trust in “Shadows”? I was right, I shouldn’t be worried about it. This episode’s Guillén subplot has him read more

The Curse of The Cat People (1944): The Oddest of Horror Sequels

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 30, 2019

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995, Joe Chappelle)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 14, 2018

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers doesn’t even run ninety minutes and gets boring fast; the last twenty minutes are completely mind-numbing. Nothing makes sense, characters act without motive, cults cult without purpose, it just goes on and on. At least Donald Pleasence is lucky enough to get read more

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961, Terence Fisher)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 25, 2017

The Curse of the Werewolf has an absurd epic structure. Clifford Evans narrates; he eventually comes into the film, which means there’s no way he’d know about events he didn’t witness except everything does apparently take place in the same Spanish town. First is the story of a beggar, played read more

Classic Films in Focus: THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (1944)

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 18, 2016

Ostensibly a sequel to the 1942 horror classic, Cat People, The Curse of the Cat People (1944) is in reality a completely different kind of tale. It's not really a horror movie and not really a sequel to the original film, even though it brings back most of the characters from the earlier outing and read more

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Jul 21, 2016

When I first heard that there was going to be a film based on Disney World’s classic ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, teenage me had some doubts.  What kind of silly story could be told based on animatronic pirates who plunder, pillage, auction off women and sing?  But under the direction of Gore read more
