The Curse is a horror movie that was released in 1987. It is directed by David Keith and produced by Ovidio G. Assonitis, who is also credited as the writer of the film along with Stephen W. Carpenter. The film stars Wil Wheaton, Claude Akins, Malcolm Danare, and a few other noteworthy actors. The premise of the movie revolves around a family that moves to a farm in rural Mississippi. The father, Nathan, played by Claude Akins, is determined to start a new life. However, the family soon finds out that the farm is cursed with an ancient evil that is bent on destroying them all.

The movie starts with the family moving to the farm. They are greeted by a local man named Bruno, played by Wil Wheaton, who is the son of the previous owner. Bruno warns Nathan about the curse, but Nathan brushes him off and continues with his plan to renovate the farmhouse and start a new life.

At first, everything seems normal. But soon, strange things start happening on the farm. The animals begin to act bizarrely, and the crops start to fail. Nathan becomes increasingly aggressive and violent, and his wife starts to suffer from severe migraines. The children, Zach and Alice, begin to see ghosts and hear strange voices.

As the family tries to cope with the mounting horror, they start to have strange visions of a group of ancient Native Americans who were the original inhabitants of the land. They realize that the curse is not just a myth; it is a real force that is out to destroy them.

The Curse is a classic '80s horror movie that is filled with suspense, tension, and terror. The movie has a slow burn, and the horror builds up gradually, leading to a climax that is both terrifying and satisfying. The acting is excellent, with Wil Wheaton giving a standout performance as the troubled Bruno.

The Curse is not just a horror movie; it is also a commentary on the failure of the American dream. The movie shows how greed and ambition can lead to destruction, and how the curse of the past can haunt the present. The movie is also a celebration of Native American culture and their deep connection to the land.

Overall, The Curse is a must-watch for any horror fan. It is a well-crafted movie that is chilling, atmospheric, and entertaining. The movie may not have been a huge box office success, but it has become a cult classic over the years and is considered one of the best horror movies of the '80s.

The Curse is a 1987 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 31 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.1.
