Review of Cursed Films

Cursed Films (2020–2022)
8/10
Informative and blunt doc series of backstory that involve strange myths and legends of bad happenings on film sets!
17 April 2020
"Shudder" really made a nice stab with it's latest doc series "Cursed Films" a five part doc series that examined strange and fatal happenings on the set of some of Hollywood's most famous horror films. Featured in each episode is interviews with those involved and never before seen film footage is often shown of the behind the scenes making. Also featured are pop culture and paranormal and religious experts who give their take on why these things happened to people or why this certain kind of film set seems to be cursed! Episodes are entertaining and informative it takes any horror fan back in time as most episodes involve telling the tragic deaths of actors who worked on the set of their film. "The Crow" episode tells how Brandon Lee was fatally shot by a weapons malfunction and how it was a curse as a demon haunted the Lee family as from his father Bruce's death they all seemed doomed. And the footage of the plane crash from the Twilight Zone episode was tough and crazy to watch as the crash and explosion killed Vic Murrow. Was it that John Landis pushed things to hard and ignored safety? Watch this and be the judge were things just meant to happen or was the devil involved or was a curse meant for these legendary pictures. A must for any horror buff and film history fan!
