![]() The docuseries stumbles slightly though when it brings in black magicians and their ilk to explain how a "real" curse would work. ![]() Cursed Films even works well when that type of psychological coddling is probed more and experts are introduced who can explain why people think projects and objects can carry and nurture dark energy. The series works best when we're hearing from those who worked on the film or from those who study horror films today (Linda Blair, Richard Donner, Fangoria's Phil Nobile Jr., film critic April Wolfe, etc) and focuses on the outlandishly taboo takes the press, both mainstream and tabloid, presented in order to assuage the public's anxiety over coincidence and happenstance tied to these maligned movie sets. This is where Cursed Films falls a little short. Now, even at a short episodic run time, not every film being showcased here contains enough conversation fodder to fill up a full chapter.
