The Accursed (2022)
5/10
A mediocre foray into the horror genre...
22 October 2022
When I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "The Accursed" I actually never had heard about the movie. I happened to stumble upon the movie, and given my life-long romance with the horror genre, of course I had to sit down and watch what writer Rob Kennedy and director Kevin Lewis had to offer.

I will say that the plot and storyline in "The Accursed", as written by Rob Kennedy, made for an adequate enough movie. If you are a newcomer to the horror genre, then I think you will most definitely enjoy the movie a lot more than I did as a seasoned horror veteran. To me, however, the movie was watchable, but writer Rob Kennedy just didn't bring anything new to the genre, and the movie was sort of a mediocre result at the hands of director Kevin Lewis.

The acting performances in "The Accursed" were good, and it certainly was nice to see Meg Foster in the movie, and she had a very good role in the movie as well. I am not overly familiar with leading actress Sarah Grey, but she did carry the movie quite well.

The special effects in the movie were good. Now, keep in mind that "The Accursed" is not a horror movie that throws one special effects in your face after another. No, the movie makes use of special effects when needed, and they definitely helped to further the narrative quite well. And the special effects were good.

I doubt that I will ever return to watch "The Accursed" a second time, though it made for an adequate enough viewing the first time around.

My rating of "The Accursed" lands on a five out of ten stars.
