Elinor is asked to look after a very strange, elderly lady living remotely in the woods, Elly quickly learns that Mrs Ambrose isn't all she makes out to be.

I didn't hate it, but I found it impossible to get into it, after a pretty interesting opening scene it becomes a little slow, it takes an age to get into the main body of the story.

I may be wrong, but I wonder if it is a made for TV movie, it has that kind of low budget feel about it, the special effects and camera work are a little clunky throughout.

The acting is a mixed bag, some of it is very wooden, some of it is alright, I quite enjoyed Sarah Grey's performance.

If you're looking for a Halloween chiller this year, The Accursed is more tepid.

5/10.

This was more fun than I had expected. First of all, the opening to the movie was great! Whoever came up with that idea was on the ball. The story throughout was spooky and the actors did an amazing job. As for the story.... my knowing there's something fishy happening but not knowing who to trust gave me a feeling similar to the one I got while watching The Skeleton Key. As a movie with a movie-sized budget (I'm assuming), it was okay. I didn't feel like I wasted my time and thought it was decent. As an episode of something like Supernatural, it would have been extremely well received and highly praised. If I come to learn that this was made on a small budget, I'll add a star to my score.

Even though I have been the horror movie admirer, I did not like the movie. I do not know why but actually in recently times, the most of horror movie is being written incomplete. There is no complete reason-result relationship, no deep character background, no detailed case working.. etc.

In this movie, there is witch character living inside the tiny house, and using evil forces in return of money, or blood.

This is too cliche detail about Satanism. I think in the movie, the book, shapes on the floor are the symbols of Satanistic rituels. So, We are not able to know what is really going around and why? Why is Eleanor's blood given to Witch? What is blood importance for the movie? What is meaning of being cursed for people in the movie etc.. As you can see the most of details were not written.

By the way, there are no horrifiying scenes.. Just jump scares once or twice times.. That's all..

Its end is different cliche.. I do not like this type of end.. ''You thought you were freed, but actually you were not.''
