I very much enjoyed this film, knowing nothing about it other than it was going to be about Halloween and feature practical effects.
I popped it into the Blu-ray player expecting some B-movie cheese and ended up watching a real movie. The story is more of a fantasy adventure than a horror film, which is just fine if you know that going in. The movie is family friendly, which isn't something I look for, but it definitely helped lend this a touch of Spielbergian charm.
The young cast is superb. I'd never heard of any of them before, but I hope they all go onto to bigger and better things.
The real highlight for me was the performance of star Chelsea Jurkiewicz. I never felt like I was watching a character, just a sweet girl caught up in a crazy home movie. She has a charm I can't describe, and I need to see more of her performances immediately.

Randomly picked this movie with zero knowledge or expectations, and it delivered brilliantly! Word of advice, turn off closed captions to avoid hints during some scenes. But yeah, this was just a fun, slightly spooky, good for the whole family type of movie. Zero blood, no nightmare inducing murder clowns, no serial killers... just a ghostly monster and a gang of teena to solve a mystery. Me and my oldest enjoyed the heck out of it. Highly recommended to anybody who wants some Halloween fun. The naturalistic acting was great, even when they cranked up the comic relief, it was just the right balance of serious and comedy. Just watch it, you'll enjoy it.
A little spooky, a little cheesy, and a lot of fun to watch. There are parts that will be scary for young children, but for the most part it is a fun, spooky, family friendly Halloween movie. Comedic relief is scattered throughout One of my favorite parts is when a scared teenage guy pauses to grab his food off
of the table before running off to hide, but leaves his cell phone behind. My son would totally do that.
If you're looking for a serious scary movie, this is not it.
If you're a parent looking for a "safe" Halloween movie for your kids, or anyone looking for something good, clean and not dark (albeit spooky and with demons) to watch, this is your movie.

This PG-13 style horror movie is surprisingly not dumb. I don't know why, but despite the low budget and tired mythology Curse of Crom is entertaining and fun for a light watch. It is reminiscent of silly horror movies of the 1980s like The Gremlins or Ghoulies. I would not recommend it outside of the Halloween season, though - its charm is limited to holiday specific movies.
A group of high school students are just average people, they aren't obnoxious and disposable like slasher characters. The main character Mary has the WORST Republican step-dad in the world, though. Can you imagine telling a 17 year old to drive for Door Dash every night to pay for college, he tries to force her to skip hanging out with friends or celebrating Halloween. I kind of wish he met a different end, to be honest.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the script was actually improved as it was just natural, fun, and bad. It's been a long time that a low production movie has made me laugh and smile this much.
Don't expect to be scared, but expect to laugh at the actors being scared.
If I was convinced that the actors were intentionally acting poorly on purpose I would have given it 10 stars. There performances were perfect for the quality of the production.
It has just the right mix of good and bad to be a cult hit. I know I plan on watching it again. I'm still smiling thinking about it.
Just sit back and enjoy the bad.
