Overall, The Accursed 2022 ( not to be confused with any of the other accursed movies out there) was pretty underwhelming. The acting is a bit wooden at times, but not horrible. It's a fairly straightforward and predictable horror movie. I was drawn to this film because it has Alexis Knapp in it. Alexis isn't the greatest actor in the world, but she is cute, and I am glad she is trying to make a comeback found out about this. Sadly this movie doesn't give her much to work with. They really underutilized Alexis, as she is only in a few scenes despite being the best actor in the movie. I do love that Alexis got her daughter to be in this film with her. Little Kailani Knapp is actually super creepy and was perfect for the part she plays. I hope she has a big career ahead of her. Sarah Dumont, who I hadn't heard of prior to watching this film, is gorgeous, and the film knows it. In practically every scene, she is either in a workout bra or showing ample cleavage. She probably only got the part to be the movie's eye candy, but who can blame them? However, besides looking pretty, the script doesn't really give her much to do. In fact, all three of the female leads are beautiful, but it doesn't change the fact that the movie is a bit bland. There are a few jump scares here and there, but for the most part, it is all things you have seen done better in other horror movies, with one exception that I won't. All I'll say is it was gross. Overall, It wasn't a bad film, but I'd probably say wait until you can see it on a streaming service you already pay for.
