Cursed (2005) (Movie)

format_quote Jimmy Myers: No, you don't understand. I'm a werewolf, I have an unnatural sexual allure.
Bo: (rolls eyes sarcastically and scoffs) Yeah, I know.

stars  Right before we first see Jimmy and Ellie driving on the road, we can see a mark of the beast made of lights of the town.

stars  Props of Freddy Krueger and the Elm Street house from Wes Craven's earlier film _Nightmare On Elm Street, A (1984)_ can be seen in the background at Tinseltown during the first scene.

stars  The original plot line had three strangers brought together by a car accident in the Hollywood Hills and the subsequent attack of a werewolf. The three characters were named Ellie Hudson (Christina Ricci), Vince Winston (Skeet Ulrich) and Jimmy Myers (Jesse Eisenberg). When the script was re-written, the plot changed and focused on two estranged siblings who had to fight a curse after a werewolf attack. Skeet Ulrich's character was totally re-written and renamed Jake. Since Ellie and Jimmy became brother and sister, Ellie's surname was deleted and became Myers.

stars  In the beginning of the film, Jake shows Ellie a prop iron maiden. The prop is an exact replica of the iron maiden used in the 1960's The Addams Family (1964) TV show. Coincidentally, Christina Ricci was in The Addams Family (1991).

stars  After the first scene at Tinsel with Ellie (Christina Ricci) and Jake, there's a slow pan of the city. The lights clearly form a pentagram.
