Summary: Snooze fest that follows the pattern of cursed items films. A lot of disbelief amongst family members until the spewing green vomit and demon voices from children just can't be ignored any longer and then the parents just get angry and further unhelpful. It's fine... If you need something to put on in the background while you paint your nails or work a word puzzle, this will work. You won't miss anything and there's not any clever moves here.

Pros: Um... that dude Henry Thomas who is normally in good movies.

The retro set was cool while it lasted.

Cons: Nothing new here.

Boring conflict Standard lovey type end where the bad guy was actually a good guy that was bad but not really bad but bad enough that he murdered a bunch of folks but really... was just misunderstood... Okaaaaaay.

There are a lot of mediocre horror movies out there, but this is one of the worst I've seen. The writing, acting, and directing are all bad. It's set in the 60s, but nothing other than their clothes makes it seem like the 60s. Give them cell phones and different clothes and it would seem like a modern day story. And the writing was terrible. It was a completely unoriginal story, which isn't unusual in the horror world. But it was just written so badly.

I don't have anything else to say about this terrible, terrible, terrible movie. Thus ends my review of The Curse of the Necklace. Don't watch it!

Frank is a cop who's been exiled by wife Laura, and he thinks he found a way back into her good graces when he stumbles onto an amulet from a cold case in the evidence room. However, it ends up in the clutches of their daughters, Ellen, who begins seeing a mysterious little boy, and Judith, who begins seeing a sinister woman.

To be blunt, the target demographic on this movie is teenage girls, and it's sure to please them. This is a period piece and has a real Conjuring/Insidious type of vibe, with a smattering of The Exorcist. Good acting, compelling characters, effective creepiness, a mix of both practical and CG FX.

But I'm a jaded old fart and couldn't help but feeling a sense of "been there, done that." All of the pieces came together very well, but it just didn't feel like it had anything to really make it stand out from other movies of the ilk. Still, on its own merits, it's a good movie... I'm just way outside the target demo.
