As a movie about a haunted house, The Curse sure is original. First of all, the "curse" comes from the space and not from inside of the house (a meteorite falls from the sky and affects people living nearby); secondly, it certainly doesn't shy from gross f/x (the "cursed" characters look and behave in all sorts of disgusting ways).
The reviews of The Curse were usually middle of the road between "useless" and "real good" but for me this movie ain't worth much, as I never thought being gross is better than being tense - and you don't get much real tension here.
