Reader Reviews
Ah, here's proof that the worst movies don't always come out of Hollywood. I believe this putrid cesspool of a film came from north of the border. Good day, eh? I think not. Some joker unplugged my little refrigerator over spring break one year, and my reaction upon returning to college and opening that refrigerator door is very close to the reaction I had to this movie. Cathy's Curse stinks like Limburger cheese left out in the hot sun for about four months. You have to start with the film quality itself. Something made in 1977 should not look this bad - the print is terribly faded, there are lines popping up in the middle of the screen constantly, and the two little background place cards used to introduce the back-story look like something out of the early days of silent film. I think we finally know what was inside that piece of Samsonite luggage that big gorilla threw around and jumped up and down on back in the late 1970s - it was the original print of this movie. Of course, even the most vibrant of prints could never add any color or vitality to these insipid characters. Here's the story in a nutshell. A mother runs off with her son, and then the boy's father and sister are killed in a car crash. Fast forward about twenty-five years. The boy moves back to the old family home, bringing along his wife and daughter. The daughter immediately falls under the "curse" which manifests itself in a filthy old doll with sewn-up eyes. The mother has already had a nervous breakdown some time earlier, but you can't possibly feel sorry for her because she's just so incredibly annoying. The dad, of course, thinks his little girl is an angel, so he doesn't believe all of his wife's crazy talk about the way she's changed. He seems oblivious to the fact that some really weird things keep happening, including a couple of suspicious deaths. The little girl - bless her heart - is the only person with any acting ability whatsoever, but all she really has to do is stare at people. You know how everything's going to end - the only element of suspense involves the number of characters that will die. Believe me, you'll be fervently hoping that just about every character bites the big one after about ten minutes in. The idea behind the story isn't all that bad (although it's already been done to death), but the execution is abysmal. The acting is bad, but the editing is even worse; the director obviously employed the hopscotch style of filmmaking, just hopping from one scene to another, never raising his eyes to look either forward or backward. Cathy's Curse is a textbook example of bad filmmaking.
