Reviews

I can't even begin to type what this show was about. I mean, I get what they were doing, eco-friendly living, etc., and that's cool. I just wish it had some meaning to it. Or at the least, have a curse in it or something close to it.

It left me with so many questions, ESPECIALLY the last episode. Don't get me wrong, the entire show from start to finish, left me with questions but that last episode?! It made no sense! Asher is floating? Just woke up on the ceiling, no explanation WHATSOEVER as to why he continued to float even when he managed to use the ceiling to climb outside where his wife is in active labor.

Eventually he ends up in space, of course, because that's the only thing that made sense through this whole show.

The curse of it all is that we have to sit through 10 episodes where there is no curse (it's just a tiktok fad), no real story, and a guy who floats at the end. Oh, and little stories in between to fill in the gaps. Stories that are just about as unimportant as the actual curse I was searching for. It's not cringe, at all, just boring and a complete waste of time.

Just avoid this one. A24 doesn't always get it right and this is one of those times where they got it so wrong. There was zero humor, dark or light. It lacked everything you'd expect from a show called The Curse, including any actual curses. Never typed a review this long but I had to because this was horrible. And for those that think this show is going over peoples heads because they think it horrible: YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET AN AWARD IN JOURNALISM FOR YOUR REVIEW, so pipe down. This was trash. Just admit it.

Almost. The storyline was interesting. That's what had me intrigued. Especially with the cast! I mean, you can't go wrong with Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon!!

Except, you can. You can go way wrong with such an exceptional cast. I'll say this much, because again, I don't like to tell the whole movie, it'll have you waiting for something to happen. I waited for 2 hours for something as small as an explanation or a hint of what's going on here.

The scenes changed without a clue as to what you just watched. I even thought the herd of 100 deer would at least give me some insight but no. Nothing. It was even a part where the buck emerged from the group, looking like he was ready to explain what's going on, but to my dismay, nothing.

The ending was worse. It just ended. Wham bam, thank you ma'am. Left me with more questions than your average 5 year old in a museum. Since I can't get those 2 hours back, I'll give you 2 minutes of my time. Avoid this movie like the Plague, no, like we did Covid in 2020. You've been warned.

Is this show weird? No, it's not. Is it slow? Yes. Confusing at times? Yes. Interesting? It is. My interest is in how this all pans out. The show touches on postpartum depression and how it can affect not only the mother, but the father as well, who is narrating throughout the first 3 episodes.

I'm not really good at telling what happens. So I won't. The characters were great, the acting wasn't bad, and the storyline is intriguing. To me, at least, because I love everything occult. I love mysteries too and this series has plenty of it to go around.

I will say this, though, it has waaaaay too many flashbacks and flashforwards so you have to pay attention to where in time you are. Episode 3 did leave me a bit confused, wondering why they jumped ahead so fast without explaining the ending of episode 2 but maybe it's because it'll be explained in later episodes. Let us pray. Because I need answers.

I'm patiently waiting for more. I think it's a decent show so far, a little slow but maybe it's for a reason. Apple hasn't really disappointed me, so I'm giving this show a chance.

****UPDATE**** Listen, I really tried to stick with this show. No, for real. I tried my hardest! But that ending made me drop 2 stars. It had the nerve to be even more confusing AND leave us hanging! So, there's going to be a season 2 without thoroughly explaining season 1? On god? Yeah, on god fam. *sighs*

Okay, so, this movie started off good. It had you thinking this was a suspense/horror about a woman who is seeing people that are not there. At least that's what I thought. I was wrong. So very, very wrong.

The 2 people in question ended up being children she left behind. Okay, cool. You're a deadbeat mom. The abandoned children looked to be adults now and they have found ways of integrating themselves into her life by way of the half siblings and husband.

I guess her original kids decided that they've played enough games and now it's time to confront the mother who left to go get her hair done but never came back. I'm with the kids. Like, you're going to explain yourself, "mom"! She does. Her first kids father was a bad man. That's it. He was bad. But if he was "bad", what does that make her? Satan.

Now the ending cracked me up. The kids came over, threw the abandoned daughter a birthday party, flooded their house, ordered carryout, and killed the father. Poor guy did nothing wrong. But ol' moms pulled a trick on ALL OF EM! I guess this movie proved that women can be deadbeats too. Because she was expert level deadbeat!

While I'm typing this, I'm shaking my head. I'm 45 minutes in and look where I am. Here, with y'all, trying to figure out what I'm watching.

Don't get me wrong, I like Gerard. Just not in this movie. I am lost as to why his wife was taken. She was there one minute, gone the next. Gerard is running around frantically trying to find her, his wife's parents needed serious acting classes, and his accent keeps appearing and disappearing, just like my interest in this movie.

I'm at the part where he's been pulled over by a police officer, while the guy who kidnapped his wife is tied up in the back. Well, he's kind of tied up I guess. Listen, I'm probably going to turn this off after I write this, mostly because Gerard just ran from the police and instead of shooting him, the officer shoots in the air, barely trying AT AAAALLLLLLLL to apprehend him. I hope you can make it further than I did.

This has got to be the worst movie I've ever seen! At this point, I believe the positive reviews are FAKE!

Here's why. So, I like the premise. A bunch of people in a small town disappeared on a trail. Cool, right? Wrong!! So this group of idiots decide to go on the trail armed with classified reports, to see what really happened. Yawn.

Supposedly, this is based off actual events. While that might be true, what isn't true, is this debacle is a good movie. I'm not sure if I'm almost at the end, but the fact that I'm making this review while I'm watching it, should really tell you everything you need to know.

What's worst, is the berry eating duo. And the brother who ripped his sister's limbs off her body with his bare hands. None of it makes sense outside of the premise. It's a poorly made mess. Please don't watch this (insert prayer hands)

This would be it! I can't believe I wasted my time watching this debacle! It led me down a path to nowhere! It just.....happened. At the end, I was left wondering when someone was going to be haunted. The fact that the teacher who pretended to be black was never elaborated on was enough to make me scream because then the movie just ENDED. No explanation whatsoever. Just make up your own conclusion I guess. It started off really well but ended so abruptly. I hated it. And I love Regina. Not in this movie, though.

I'm currently 15 minutes into this film and I can already see it's trash. Like, old, moldy trash. Like, if you went to a trash island and sat down in the middle of it, TRASH! I literally have no clue what direction it's going in. It's madness! Pure madness!! I'm going to keep watching it, only because I really love Jordan. But when I say he is TAP DANCING ON THIN ICE......HONEYYYY he has ONE more bad movie in him before I leave him alone. I can't support garbage. I don't have it in me. And also, why is Keke Palmer even in this movie? She's already getting on my nerves. I honestly don't know how I'm going to get through this, but pray for me y'all.

*Edit: Question 1. Was it a hot air balloon or a UFO/UAP?

Question 2. Why was the Asian cowboys story even in the movie?

Question 3. What did the aliens even want?

Question 4. Did I fall asleep, but didn't know it, thus missing what the aliens actually looked like?

Question 5. Or was the identity of said aliens never expounded upon?

Question 6. Why was this even made?

I literally hate myself for watching this. I will never get that time back.
