“Cursed Films” isn’t some cheapo scare tactic, focusing just as much on human stories and on-set details as it does the rumors of curses and bad karma around these movies. The result is more than just a fun trivia piece but odes to the power of each of these movies, both cursed and merely mortal. Read full review

Each [episode] manages a careful balance between vividly recounting lurid details, instilling the appropriate gravitas real-world tragedies demand, and casting a skeptical (and yet at times empathetic) eye toward the magical thinking that construes coincidences into a “curse.” Read full review

The series appears confused about what it wants to do, whether that’s to explore the production of these movies, discuss why curses in horror films are so popular, or what these curses say about us. You’d assume all three of those elements are touched upon, but in ways that just feel wafer-thin. Read full review
