‘The Cursed’ – Watch a Werewolf Shred a Boy’s Arm in Gnarly New Clip! [Exclusive]

After playing in theaters ahead of Scream, the trailer for LD Entertainment’s The Cursed made its way online, promising to be “one of the best horror films of the year.”

The gothic thriller, to be released exclusively in theaters on February 18, 2022, is said to be a “reimagining of the werewolf legend for a modern-day audience.”

In The Cursed, written and directed by Sean Ellis…

“In the late 1800s, a man arrives in a remote country village to investigate an attack by a wild animal but discovers a much deeper and sinister force that has the manor and its townspeople in its grip.”

In this must-see exclusive look at the film, we see The Predator‘s Boyd Holbrook perform an autopsy on a dead werewolf. What transpires is a nasty sequence in which a woman comes crawling out of the dead creature’s womb. It calls to mind John Carpenter’s The Thing!

Formerly titled Eight for Silver, the film premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

Filmmaker Sean Ellis had some exciting news to share: “Sundance is always an incredible place to showcase your work. In the time that has followed that valuable experience, we took the opportunity to invigorate the film with an updated score by Lorne Balfe; we changed much of the CGI and decided to put back much of the original in-camera effects,” he explains. “We also elevated elements of the story that pay tribute to the incredible multitude of layers that live within the horror genre.”

LD’s Mickey Liddell and Pete Shilaimon said, “We set out to make a genre film with an incredibly talented filmmaker. Sean Ellis has created a story that is so much more than that: it’s timely, scary as hell, and most importantly unique. We are thrilled for people to finally see Sean’s striking vision on the big screen.”

Get ready for a super gross and gory good time on Feb. 18th!
