Come for the promise of some Eastern European feminist witchcraft, end up staying for some middling pseudo-70s atmosphere.
The Accursed is boring and the presentation of magic and mysticism is the kind of thing you'd find in old children's books not adult horror films. The mix of Practical Magic style goofiness with a murderous family curse make for strange and ultimately incompatible bedfellows.
I don't hate this movie as much as some reviewers because the aesthetic is okay and the acting is decent for people handed a script that contains fairy tale spells and animate, sentient creeping vines.
