The series is a horror fan's delight from top to bottom, providing insight from folks involved with the films in question as well as several renowned horror film experts and aficionados.

It's more a documentary about how the public is fascinated by curses or how the "curse" adds to a film's legacy. In this sense, Shudder's documentary series is an absolute success.

Despite its occasional shortcomings, Cursed Films does a stellar job of balancing its responsibility to its subjects and the morbid intrigue of the more sensationalist details of these stories.
April 03, 2020
It's a great idea executed with restraint and respect.
April 20, 2020
Cursed Films is an always-chilling, mostly-effective look at some of Hollywood's most unfortunate film shoots.

If you're a fan of horror films or movie history in general, Cursed Films is a must-see series.

At a half hour, the episode is too short to really go deep on these topics. But director Jay Cheel approaches his sometimes eccentric subjects with an open, yet skeptical mind, lending both credulity and levity to the season premiere.

Cursed Films remains an entertaining watch, one that is more interested in how these rumors and legends are created and why they persist than in the validity of them.
April 21, 2020
What is most interesting is that the episodes don't gravitate around the urban legends surrounding the sets but, in fact, they try their best to debunk what we've heard.

I feel like maybe this could have made a compelling feature documentary with each of the profiled films being a short 10-minute segment and doing away with all the ridiculous side excursions that all the episodes I have seen so far take...
April 02, 2020
This five-part series should be catnip to horror lovers.

We are never chastised for finding curses appealing or comforting but rather are implored to consider what a curse actually does, not to its victims but to those processing unexplainable, bizarre, or tragic events.
