Directed by Laura Murphy, the film follows four friends whose lives spiral out of control when predictions from a game they played years ago start to come true. The plot unfolds with a balance of humour and horror, making it an entertaining watch for those who enjoy light-hearted scares. The performances are decent, with the cast capturing the camaraderie and tension among friends facing dire consequences. However, while the film has its moments of creativity, some plot points feel predictable, and the pacing occasionally lags. Overall, Cursed Friends is a fun Halloween watch, appealing to fans of the genre but lacking the depth to make it truly memorable. Show less

Show more >> Cursed Friends attempts to blend comedy and horror but often stumbles along the way. The idea of a game predicting the future is intriguing, yet the execution feels lacklustre. The characters, while relatable, often fall into clichés and their development is shallow, leaving the audience disconnected. There are moments that spark laughter, but they are overshadowed by a predictable plot and some awkward pacing. The film has potential, especially for a Halloween-themed outing, but it ultimately fails to deliver on its promise. It’s a mixed bag that might entertain some viewers, but for others, it might just feel like a missed opportunity. Show less
