THE CURSE

Cinemavixion Review

This independent film, 'The Curse,' offers a compelling glimpse into a unique urban fantasy narrative. The story centers on Ruda, a police officer by day and a Santero priest by night, thrust into a spiritual battle against a supernatural curse plaguing the NYPD. The premise alone is intriguing, blending gritty police procedural elements with the rich mysticism of Santeria. Michael Wright, Alex Maisonette, and Felipe Luciano anchor the film with their performances, navigating the complex duality of their characters and the supernatural threats they face. While the film's scope may be modest, its ambition in exploring themes of faith, magic, and justice within a contemporary setting is commendable. It's a film that dares to be different, inviting viewers into a world where the veil between the mundane and the mystical is thin.
