The Cursed, directed by Sean Ellis, is now in theaters and we've have an exclusive clip just for Daily Dead readers! Set in a remote village in the 1800s, this reimagining of the werewolf legend finds villagers under attack by an unknown force:
"In the late 1800s, a once-peaceful remote country village is under attack—but by who or what, no one knows. Villagers spread rumors of a cursed land, supernatural forces, and even demonic creatures, as the disappearances and killings continue. Pathologist John McBride arrives to investigate the danger, only to discover something much deeper and more sinister than he ever could have imagined."
Formerly titled Eight for Silver, the film premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and Sean Ellis recently commented on a number of changes recently made to the film:
“Sundance is always an incredible place to showcase your work. In the time that has followed that valuable experience, we took the opportunity to invigorate the film with an updated score by Lorne Balfe; we changed much of the CGI and decided to put back much of the original in-camera effects. We also elevated elements of the story that pay tribute to the incredible multitude of layers that live within the horror genre.”
Written and Directed by Sean Ellis, The Cursed stars Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly, and Alistair Petrie.
