When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
I found my copy of CURSE... in a Suncoast Video in Indiana. I have shown it to many people who just stare at the screen in disbelief. I think it is one of the best "worst" movies out there. I've never found it again, and will cry the day my tape finally gives out. I just dug it out the other day and am gearing up for another viewing. So cracked in its layers. The Hillbilly nightmares...the running gag with the doctor...the poor puppies...the men with the torches...the gypsy...It's all flooding my memory, and I'm giggling all over again. If you ever have a chance to get your hands on this rare movie, DO IT! You won't regret a single penny of it.
Larry Smallbut is bitten by a transvestite so when the moon is full he turns into a limp-wristed queen. He has to try to get back on the straight and narrow. All these people who complain about anything that that see as the tiniest bit 'homophobic' and nitpick about the differences between gay and cross-dressers need to get their head out of their asses (pardon the pun). And it only shows that being PC is sadly alive and well. For the rest of us (Ie. SANE people), we can see that it's JUST a movie. Funny at times, stupid at others (the whole hillbilly thing), but anyone who rants against the film not for what it is, but for what their narrow-minded views conceive it as being are just sad. My star rating will be higher than my graded rating in an effort to rectify that. (again no pun intended) My Grade: C- DVD Extras: 26 minute documentary "Curse of the Queerwolf: Completely from Behind"; a 1 and a half minute clip of the queerwolf's debut in "A Polish Vampire in Burbank"; Mark Pirro biography; and theatrical trailer Eye Candy: Cynthia Brownell gets topless; Darwyn Carson in a see-thru bra
The best joke here is the one stolen from Crocodile Dundee (where it is used twice), that is, the first man impersonating a woman is played by a female actor.The problem is the homophobic stereotypes. Sure the film is trying to laugh at homophobes, but in reproducing untrue and unlikely details about gays and transgendereds (that are repeated by the gender insecure) it reinforces them. What it comes down to is: how funny is it? The more funny you find it, the less the homophobia matters. One also suspects that the jokes are funnier for people who are insecure with these topics. And when the jokes fall flat, one begins to wonder ...A must for fans of derrière-garde inauthenticity.
This is actually pretty funny in a reeeeeealy low budget way, and not as offensive as you might think. Actually the film is pretty much an equal opportunity offendor and makes fun of those straight white guys we all hate as well as gays. A guy gets bitten on the ass by a gay werewolf, and not only turns into a werewolf but also turns gay, to say more ruins the movie.It's too bad they didn't call it "the Monster in the Closet" though...
