Cursed (2005) Movie Review

Cursed (2005) IMDB Prime

Cursed movie poster

Our first Werewolf movie that has a maze in it (but not our last). We have plenty of horror maze movies, although most of them are terrible. Of course the best maze movie of all time is a horror flick (do you know which movie it is ?). This is not that movie.

We have an early 2000’s flick that includes a lot of actors that you are familiar with, like Joshua Jackson, Jesse Eisenberg and Christina Ricci. And if you are a fan of Arrested Development you get Portia de Rossi, Judy Greer and Scott Baio ! This movie revolves around young adults that have an encounter with a beast, later they find it was a werewolf, and struggle with the ramifications, like are they becoming werewolves ? We have a typical teen movie with angst and a bit of a mystery of who is a werewolf. Eventually we have a scene that takes place in a maze of mirrors where we get a showdown between our characters and a werewolf.

Unfortunately, this movie showed the transformation from person to werewolf using the special effects available at the time. Not very special. Overall this movie is not very good.

I give it a 4.8/10.

Dungeons & Dragons (2000) Movie Review

Dungeons & Dragons (2000) IMDB Prime

Dungeons & Dragons (2020) movie poster

I am in the process of watching a lot of movies. Like, a lot of movies. Possibly a record breaking amount of movies ?? Dungeons and Dragons, a fantasy movie from 2000 based on the game was next on the list to watch. It is a typical quest fantasy movie and because of the D&D theme we have a cast of characters that will remind you of a Lord of the Rings movie, i.e. elves. orcs, dragons. Part of the quest involves our main character needing to solve a maze to get a prize. It is called a maze multiple times, but actually feels more like a dangerous obstacle course. It feels like something Indiana Jones would go through except with interested spectators.

As far as fantasy movies go the only fantasy I had while watching this one was that it would soon be over. This is a rough movie even if you look past the horrible special effects.

I give it a 3.8/10.

Maze of the Week #26 - Mesa Verde National Park Cliff Palace Maze

We return to a landscape maze of sorts this week, featuring the Cliff Dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park in Cortez, Colorado, also known as the Cliff Palace. This is our 2nd maze from Colorado after the Blue Mustang from Denver Airport. The maze is a draw and cut construction, with the natural shape of the dwellings lending themselves to a maze. I would also mention that this maze is more difficult than many I have made, so if attempt it, good luck ! I made only 1 version of this maze. It is featured this week because it was established as a National Park on June 29, 1906.

Some information about Mesa Verde National Park

It is the largest archeological preserve in the United States and features hundreds of cliff dwellings. In addition to being a National Park it is also a World Heritage Site. You can read about the portion of the park I mazed, Cliff Palace, here. You can find many videos on the park but this is my favorite.

The maze:

In color. The spacing of the pathways in the maze is very narrow. Because it is a landscape I also went with a full page maze where the landscape continues off the page in all directions.

Coming next week:
