THE CURSE

Feature Film 1hr 32mins Rated R USA

(Sci-Fi/Horror)

This awful horror film, the directing debut of actor David Keith, http://movies.msn.com/celebrities/celebrity/david-keith/ is the second major adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space, first brought to the screen in Daniel Haller's Die, Monster, Die. Wil Wheaton http://movies.msn.com/celebrities/celebrity/wil-wheaton/ stars as Zack, eternal whipping-boy of a rural farm family headed by his religious fanatic stepfather Nathan. A large meteor comes zipping through the clouds and crashes in the yard, where local scientist Carl Willis cracks it open to leak slime into the water supply. Soon, tomatoes are squirting blood, the lettuce oozes pus, apples are full of worms and little Alice (Wheaton's real-life sister Amy) is pecked bloody by crazed chickens. Eventually, the bad water begins affecting other members of the family, until Willis shows up to save the day. Keith's direction is sluggish, the acting is horrid, and even the involvement of associate producer Lucio Fulci couldn't save the wretched effects-work. The cast doesn't even seem to be paying attention most of the time, as in the priceless moment when Zach's mother tells him, "Eat your eggs, Wil." The Curse is an utter abomination which somehow produced three unrelated sequels.
