    This movie starts out kind of boring, but it gets better as it goes on. It's especially exciting at the climax. It might seem weird or confusing at times, but it's pretty good in the end.

    This sci-fi horror film adapting H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Colour Out of Space" freaked me out and it's pretty creepy. There were parts where you could tell it was fake, then other times things looked real.
    Good performances by most of the cast. Paces moves along. Some ni... read morece shots of the Tennessee landscape. Good make-up and gross out effects.
    Director David Keith loosely not only vividly evokes a thick and pungent down-home hillbilly atmosphere, but also does an expert job of creating and sustaining a spooky and unnerving tone.

    As a very loose adaption of Lovecraft's short story "The Colour Out of Space', it sucks. As a low budget 80's sci-fi/horror hybrid, it sucks.
    Bottom line: it sucks. And it's boring.
    I'l stick with the completely unrelated and very underrated sequel, Curse II: The Bite.

    Lots of slime and pus, it starts out okay, then rapidly deteriorates.

    A fair HP Lovecraft based Sci-fi horror thriller about a meteorite that falls in a family's backyard and creates havok as it mutates the crops, animals and themselves. Stars Wil Wheaton, John Schnedier and Claude Atkins at their best, it's slimy fun.

    As Lovecraft adaptions go, "The Curse" deserves some credit for being relatively faithful to the original story ("The Colour Out of Space".) Unfortunately, the movie itself just isn't very good, mostly due to bad acting, and a few terribly dislikeable characters.
