Near the film's climax, the family farm is enveloped in 'fog'. The house is revealed as a miniature when a crewman's arm and a bucket of dry ice pop out from the left side of the model. See more »Quotes

"The Curse" is hardly a stellar movie, but it provides some gross entertainment all the same. This film gained some recognition most likely because of names like Will Wheaton, Lucio Fulci and H.P. Lovecraft being attached to this production. In my country, this film was a bit more appropriately titled "The Farm", since that's the main location of the film anyway and some evil sh!t is going on there. So, a meteor crash lands nearby a farm. The thing melts, seeps into the ground and soon the water, the vegetables, the live stock and - naturally also - humans become infected with the alien substance. And that's where the movie provides us the most fun: with gross make-up effects of larva-infested blisters & mutations. And if you become infected, it won't take long before you'll start acting like a raving maniac. The film builds up to a satisfying climax; albeit fairly incomprehensible what happens to the farmhouse, it does provide a bit of spectacular entertainment. There was a time were I would have been more rigorous in judging this film, but now I can safely say die-hard B-horror movie lovers will sure have some fun with an outing like "The Curse".
