Dark August (1976)
5/10
Cursed By His Own Lifestyle
11 July 2023
A hard drinking, chain-smoking man of "39" (the actor was 44 at the time, and he looks 49) accidentally ran down a child in the street. Probably drunk driving. Then an old man puts a curse on him, that's probably the most interesting thing about this flick besides the lovely Vermont countryside.

Sal seems old as hell, certainly too old for his blonde airheaded girlfriend who enables his alcoholic self. He's just gross, unrelatable, the way he lives his life is obviously the curse. When does a curse ever work on someone who is sober and does yoga every day?

I've seen worse than Dark August, but I've certainly seen better.
