Cursed

Wes Craven tackling a werewolf movie sounded cool. Craven is the guy responsible for such horror treats as A Nightmare on Elm Street and that Meryl Streep violin thing, so it would seem he’d be a good bet to make the first decent werewolf flick since An American Werewolf in London. The fact that he enlisted that film’s makeup man, Rick Baker, to assist on Cursed was further reason for excitement. Then the studio started calling for a PG-13 movie with massive re-shoots, and everything went to blazes. The result is a clichéd mess with goofy-looking werewolves. Shot two years ago, this film is almost legendary for the problems it has faced. Production was shut down, and the movie was almost entirely redone with a new plot and cast. The likes of Corey Feldman, Mandy Moore and Skeet Ulrich ended up on the cutting room floor, while poor Scott Baio was reduced to a cameo.
