The Cursed LD Entertainment Elevation Pictures Release date: 02/18/2022 Ratings My Rating: 7/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating: 67% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Landowners, the Laurents, decide to murder a clan of Romani trespassers.  But before their demise, a curse is laid upon the sacred ground.   When Seamus (Alistair Petrie), and Isabelle Laurent's (Kelly Reilly) son goes missing after an attack, the family hires a pathologist, John McBride (Boyd Holbrook), to help to solve the mystery.  McBride has seen something like this before.  Some time ago, a beast killed several people in a village including McBride’s wife and daughter.
