"The Curse of Downer's Point" falls just short of being ridiculous. Ever watched a movie where NOTHING looked authentic or seemed real? This is a good example of such.
It seems Downer's Point High School has a "curse." Every graduating class since before time has to deal with a death of a senior. Of course, all these deaths can be explained, so those involved with this mess lost any kind of paranormal connection right away. One guy who is high on meth decides to climb to local water tower and falls. There are drownings, drug overdoses, automobile accidents, etc. One senior (Chrissy) tries to downplay the curse, but no one will listen. She and her friend (who apparently will sleep with ANYONE) decides to attend a party in a neighboring town and it's all downhill from there.
The viewer would think in all that you'd find a halfway decent movie. You'd be terribly wrong. Any of you who have read any of my reviews know one of the first things I'll go after is a script--or lack thereof. Whoever wrote this must have been doing Yeagerbombs AND bong hits because after Chrissy gives her reasons for not believing in the curse, the movie becomes one big old mess, e.g. there is an attempted rape that (when reported) is completely ignored by the police because the perpetrator is supposedly some football jock. Chrissy's brother is attacked by him and his goons and suffers a broken hand at their doing. The police do nothing.
The only "curse" for this movie was its complete, mind-numbingly bad script. Rated "R" for attempted rape, sexual situations, and violence.
