REVIEWS:

““The Cursed” creeps along at a minimal pace, with Ellis working up tension through visits to nightmare realms, and werewolf attack sequences are effective, reinforcing the brutality of the creature. Scariness is tended to by the production, but Ellis always wants the material to engage on a dramatic level, delving into genocidal events and domestic discord.” www.blu-ray.com

“Eight for Silver had a lot of potential: its setting and concurrent choice to diverge from typical werewolf lore allowed for so much exploration for an established monster. However, the suspicious lack of werewolves, the incredibly bland central characters, and the misinformed and insensitive depiction of a colonized group as evil tank the execution.” www.film-cred.com

“Subplots like that never go out of style in this species of film, and Ellis’ combination of such standards with his own take sustains EIGHT FOR SILVER throughout its lengthy duration. The cast is also solid top to bottom, including Kelly Reilly as Isabelle Laurent, whose distanced relationship with Seamus is only made more so as his actions and their consequences come to light.” www.rue-morgue.com
