Jealous of his wife's love for another man, a teacher from her high school, a man brutally kills his wife and young son. Searching for the son who has missed a lot of school, the teacher enters their house, only to find the dead ghost of his mother, and consequently has a heart attack and becomes a ghost himself. The story goes on to tell of the new tenants of the house and what they experience, and an investigation by two police officers into why so many people are disappearing. (Arrow Films)

If the proportion between scenes that made me tremble in fear and utterly pointless moments was at least 1, I would be thrilled. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The Curse does have moments that made me feel quite scared, but they are few and far between, I reckon they cover less than ten percent of the runtime. Besides, it doesn’t feel very good technically speaking, even the filler isn’t nice to look at. If it was longer, it would have been very boring, as it is, it’s a decent ghost story, but there are many better ones.
