BURBANK, Calif., June 1, 2005 – Dimension Home Video presents CURSED, the chilling, thrilling
story of rampaging werewolves from the creators of “Scream,” writer/producer Kevin Williamson (“The
Faculty”) and legendary director Wes Craven (“Nightmare On Elm Street”). Christina Ricci (“Monster,”
“Sleepy Hollow”) leads a young and talented cast in a new take on the classic werewolf story, updated and
brought to bloody life in contemporary Los Angeles.
CURSED is available in two separate DVD editions, the “PG-13” version seen in theaters, and an even
more carnage-filled unrated version, available with exclusive filmmaker’s audio commentary on select
scenes. Both DVD editions feature the bonus materials “Behind The Fangs: the Making of Cursed;” “The
Cursed Effects” featurette on the film’s stunning special effects; “Creature Editing 101;” and the creature
creation featurette “Becoming A Werewolf.”
In CURSED, Christina Ricci, Jesse Eisenberg (“The Village”), Joshua Jackson (TV’s “Dawson’s
Creek”), Judy Greer (“The Village”) and Milo Ventimiglia (TV’s “Gilmore Girls”) find themselves
caught up in unimaginable horror. A young woman (Ricci) and her brother get into a car accident off of
Los Angeles’s Mulholland drive. When they attempt to help the other car’s driver, they are attacked by a
wolf-like creature. Over the next few weeks, the siblings begin to show supernatural strength and
abilities, while a large, mysterious animal launches bloodthirsty attacks in Los Angeles. Together, the
siblings must solve the mystery of their attacker and destroy the werewolf responsible before they turn
into nightmare creatures themselves. Available for $29.99 (SRP) on DVD in “PG-13” and unrated
versions. On VHS for $29.99 (SRP) for the unrated version only.
The cast of CURSED also stars the hot talents Scott Baio (“Face To Face;” TV’s “Diagnosis Murder”),
