Viewing Notes
Made six years after RETURN OF THE FLY, CURSE takes a different tack than its predecessors, focusing on the broken family relationships of the scientist and his two sons which continues to fracture in ways that become central to the outcome of the plot.
I loved the boldly stylistic opening scene involving a woman escaping a psychiatric institution. It sits in stark contrast to the rest of the film but grabs your attention immediately.
