POSITIVES
Compelling enough horror premise involving a video game. Plus CURS>R is a pretty good name for a game.
Some of those scenes when playing the game, like in the opening bit with the Dad, the diner scene, or that sequence with the rat, were all pretty solid for what they were.
Iola Evans and Asa Butterfield are good leads in this. More so Iola who really carries this film.
Has a generally efficient progression with the plot. Only 85 minutes long. Both plusses in my book.
For a low budget film, I admire the creative visual directions they made work with the narrative.
NEGATIVES
If you're looking for traumatic horror or jump scares, this is not that movie.
It's not exactly a cinematic wonder, but don't hold that against the movie too much.
There's quite a bit of suspension of disbelief that's required from you to be entertained by the movie.
Questionable decisions might frustrate you into shouting "why don't you just…" multiple times.
I don't think it quite sticks the landing on the thematic commentaries it is trying to make.
