| User ReviewCarmela RThis is a good flick if you're trying to 'get away' from the daily situation, ... otherwise, it'd be a boring slasher film. The plot runs smooth and the characters cover the gambit. Following the cast-aways, the dark and grainy takes over the enjoyment effect. Anyhow, a very solid three. If I would have had to watch the last thirty minutes, this would have gone a 3.5 or maybe a 4.0. |
| User Review?۩ IñVéRt ÐThe storyline started out decent.. but you can see this was a low budget film.. the audio was off throught the entire film.. way too much echo.. some of the kill scenes were a bit cheesy.. and I would have to say that it wasn't a CURSE as the title states... it was more of a virus called CDC which attacks the brain and stimulates the ceribral cortex and increases your insanity levels and cause a psychotic episode or until you go insane... |
| User ReviewConscious CYet another uninspiring horror film, the low budget is certainly not a plus. The score is intrusive and the sound is very poor. The acting isn't bad, but thats not saying much. The plot is stupid and it fails to scare. |
| User ReviewJennifer LLame! Bad music and pathetic acting attempts. |
| User ReviewMaria Jthis film was boring, no action wot so ever! |
| User ReviewTodd SWhat a great idea for a movie, a supernatural horror flick, that was actually filmed at Alcatraz prison. There were a dozen ways to make this film work, even on a shoestring budget, unfortunately they didn't use any of them. The story begins with a construction crew doing renovations on the old prison, which is now a national park. The team uncovers a sealed off room and when they begin digging, they find human remains. Did the body belong to a guard or a prisoner? No, they belong to Native American, who would have died long before the prison opened, but was somehow found inside this room. After a long period of non-sense, it is discovered that the body is cursed, and causes anyone who comes in contact with it, to go on a killing spree. This could have been a great mystery about some crime at the prison that was never known or solved. Maybe it could have been a good ghost story, but no, it had to be some weird possession story, that made no sense what-so-ever. The story starts out interesting, but quickly becomes a complete joke. The writing is horrendous and performed by a less than adequate cast. The only name of recognition was Jose Solano, a soap actor, who was on Baywatch the last couple of seasons. For some reason, he is in a wheelchair and does nothing but joke about being crippled. Sometimes really bad Horror films can get away with cheesy acting and a bad story, as long as they make you laugh, but there is nothing funny about this movie. Even though it has a creepy cover and was filmed in a really cool location, Curse of Alcatraz fails to deliver and is a complete waste of time. |
