This is the weirdest Franco movie IMO. Also one of the funniest and more atmospheric. Obviously based on Creepy comics' Gothic visuals and ridiculous tone, Curse is like a fever dream a little boy would have after watching a classic Frankenstein movie. Its an acid logic retelling of Bride of Frankenstein which features some absurd and surreal moments that are too good not to share, including Dr. Frankenstein being killed and resurrected 3 times and an army of men in paper mache skull masks lurching through a foggy forest. I don't want to give away any more but this ride is fast yet moody, sweet yet violent, tasteless yet artful. One of the most definitive Jess Franco experiences.
This has to be in my Top 10 for him.
