Cursed

When I was a kid, I like schlocky horror movies like "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" and other gems.  Down in South Florida there was a regular program called the Schlocky Horror Hour (or something like that, but "schlocky" was in the title.)

I watched Cursed (Wes Craven flick, and this is the PG-13 version) starring Christina Ricci and Jesse Eisenberg, with guest appearances by Scott Baio and Craig Kilborn playing themselves.  It's just an old-fashioned fun movie.  Not too serious, not too stupid, not too gross.  They even manage to poke fun at, and pay tribute to, the whole werewolf theme throughout the show.

For a new classic, 97-minute, not-very-scary, escapist horror flick, I recommend Cursed.  You'll want some popcorn to throw at the wolves... and maybe some of the victims.

 

Christina Ricci and her large forehead, a forehead made for horror... and that Morticia Addams hair....  LOL.  She's cool.
