Netflix is about to unleash a fantastic film that will leave you howling at the moon! We called The Cursed a standout in our original review back in 2022. And now this brilliant, dark, and brutal werewolf film is making its way to Netflix.
A Gothic Nightmare in the Late 1800s
Originally titled Eight for Silver, this gothic horror film transports viewers to the late 1800s. The unsettling premise begins: “In a once-peaceful remote country village, inexplicable disappearances and brutal killings begin. Meanwhile, villagers whisper rumors of a cursed land, supernatural forces, and even demonic creatures. However, no one knows the true source of the terror. When pathologist John McBride arrives to investigate, he uncovers something far deeper and more sinister than he could have ever imagined.”
The film was written and directed by Sean Ellis and offers a chilling reimagining of the classic werewolf legend, crafted for a modern audience.
Star-Studded Cast & Critical Acclaim
The film features a stellar cast led by Boyd Holbrook (The Sandman, Logan). Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone, True Detective) and Alistair Petrie (Sex Education, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) also star.
The chilling film is produced by Ellis, Mickey Liddell, and Pete Shilaimon, with Alison Semenza and Jacob Yakob serving as executive producers.
You can watch The Cursed on Netflix starting July 19, 2025! Don’t miss out on what we hailed as “one of the best movies of the year” when it was released.
