Cursed is a 2005 horror film directed by Wes Craven, written by Kevin Williamson, and starring Christina Ricci (Casper, Addams Family Values, and Speed Racer) Joshua Jackson (Fringe), and Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland, Rio, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).Siblings Ellie (Ricci) and Jimmy (Eisenberg) are driving back to their home near the Hollywood hills one night when they collide with another vehicle, sending it careening into the forest below. While attempting to help the other driver, a young woman named Becky Morton (Shannon Elizabeth), get out of her car, they are suddenly attacked by a large beast emerging from the shadows. The creature drags Becky into the forest after biting and scratching Ellie and Jimmy. When paramedics arrive and ask the siblings what kind of animal attacked them, Jimmy can only respond that it looked like a "wolf the size of a man".Soon after, they start noticing changes within themselves. They're getting stronger. Their reflexes are faster. They seem to be more attractive to members of the opposite sex... and the scent of blood has a powerful effect on them. Jimmy is quick to realize what's going on: they're becoming werewolves. His excitement is quickly overshadowed, however, when they learn that more and more young women are being violently attacked. Ellie and Jimmy realize that the werewolf that cursed them is stalking the streets of L.A., and with the first full moon since their attack quickly approaching, they may very well be its next prey of choice.Notable for having its werewolf designed by Rick Baker. | |

The Beard: It looks like Brooke was this to Bo, since he turns out to be gay. She doesn't really seem surprised at the end when it's made clear, so she might have been in on this. | |

Bully Turned Buddy: Once Bo comes out to Jimmy, he also becomes an ally to him, aiding him in escaping from Zipper and getting to his sister. Bo also comes on to Jimmy, but it's unclear whether that is a scenario where he is a Loving Bully that always had a crush on him or just made a move because he thought Jimmy was the only other gay man he knew. | |

Action Survivor: Jenny eludes the werewolf for a while by hiding under a car and then on a running board while hanging on to the door handle and rearview mirror once it starts looking under the cars. She ditches her high heels and uses her remote key to set off a car alarm to distract the monster, allowing her to flee to an elevator. Once the werewolf tries to get into the elevator, she immediately goes for the emergency phone, then tries to climb to the opening in the elevator roof. | |

Plot Hole | |
Cursed (2005) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: A small but glaring one. With the revelation that Jake is the werewolf who bit Ellie and Jimmy, this contradicts the previous revelation that Joanie is the werewolf killing people throughout the movie. This is because the werewolf who bit Ellie and Jimmy is the same one who kills Becky at the beginning of the film. Are they trying to imply that Jake was also the one who killed Becky (and possibly Jenny) as well? Is this some sort of Double Red Herring? The movie doesn't really answer this after the revelation that Jake is the Big Bad. | |

I Didn't Mean to Turn You On: The lycanthropic curse causes those around them to be extremely attracted to the one who is cursed. Ellie especially notices this with a male assistant of hers, and Jimmy is surprised when it happens to the male jock Bo... neither of whom the siblings had any intention in pursuing. | |

Cursed (2005) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: A contrast to the more entertaining Joanie, despite starting out as a loving boyfriend, Jake Taylor loses such qualities upon being revealed to be the Alpha Werewolf who bit Ellie and Jimmy. This may also imply he might have killed his ex-girlfriend Becky, and possibly Jenny. Jake is a womanizer seeking for the perfect girl to be his life mate, and upon revealing his true colors, becomes possessive towards Ellie and trying to kill her brother. Throughout this, he belittles Ellie for being "weak", mocks her over her failures in life and her parents death. | |

Cursed (2005) / int_f8b3fa5d | comment |
Our Werewolves Are Different: Werewolves have a powerful sexual allure to members of the opposite sex (or sometimes the same sex). In addition, while silver is painful to lycanthropes, it cannot kill them. You have to behead them for that or damage their brain. | |
