Cursed (2005)

Cursed, the 2005 Wes Craven werewolf film starring Jesse Eisenberg, Joshua Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Christina Ricci's hairline.

 

In all honesty, I enjoy this film way too much. Probably because it has the vibe of a 90's film, but executed with more money, poorly. The backstory to this film is crazy too; apparently it shot for 2+years due to re-writes and re-shoots?

There are just so many great, bad moments in this film that I absolutely live for, like full on (spoiler alert) werewolf Judy Greer busting through a window to give Christina Ricci the finger.

 

And the "celebrity" cameos!

 

You got a sleazy Scott Baio as Scott Baio, Mya as a horny leopard clad groupie, and a heavily featured Craig Kilborn of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Fun fact: by the time the movie finally came out, Craig Kilborn had already left the show and was replaced with Craig Ferguson.

Fortunately for Craven, he didn't have to wear the stink of this one for too long, as "Red Eye" came out later in the year and was pretty well-received, as well as something a bit different from what he'd been doing.
