Jack-O's Review: "There's Halloween decorations, autumn leaves and pumpkins mostly in the opening/beginning scenes of CURSE OF CROM 2 but not as much Halloween atmosphere in the rest of the film as the first film had. There are incredible practical creature effects. I thought all the actors did a great job and were funny. Most of them returned except Mary is played by a different actress. It was more a touching sweet wholesome family film than horror. Crom and the mini hairy pookas may be scary for kids but not adults. The music is very throwback to the 80's rock. If you liked the comedy and characters from the first film this one has even more of the same with a fun new story." ★★★ @trickhorrortreater


More Reviews:

"I’m a big fan of the first movie, so I was stoked to come back for more. While this sequel also takes place at Halloween time, it doesn’t quite deliver on the holiday vibe. I was disappointed that the October festivities are mostly an afterthought. Also, while much of the same cast returns to fight Crom once again, the film attempts to avoid being a cookie cutter version of the first film, but in doing so, it becomes a little messy and goes on for too long, running an hour and 42 minutes long... There are also new critters that look like something out of an 80s movie... in Ireland! Say what? That’s definitely where this one loses the smalltown charm that the first film delivered while also leaving its Halloween roots behind to head overseas. Bummer. At least there’s a part where they use a jack-o’-lantern to repel the monsters... It is great to see the cast back, there’s humor, and there are some fun encounters with Crom, but he’s lost the mystique and creepiness he had in the first film. In the end, the movie leaves room for third film." BoysBearsAndScares.com

"Pooka Puppets. But also…. Objectively bad. There’s a way to make this story work. First, the college kids in this act like they’re between the ages of 10-14. So if those parts were rewritten to actually be kids of that age, this would’ve worked well as one of those RL Stine knock-off’s. It actually reminded me a lot of his DTV movie, The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It. Also hiring an acting coach, director of photography, a capable editor, and a set designer who does stuff besides just taping pieces of paper to white walls, and this might’ve been relatively okay. But they didn’t, and it’s not... one of my favorite character actors working today is Colin Cunningham... He’s the sole reason that these ill-conceived movies were added to my ‘ol watchlist, and unfortunately, not even he could save them. It was only his presence, and the puppets, that kept Curse of Crom 2 from landing in my worst of the worst pile. If you like shitty, Halloween themed, dtv abominations, you can add this to your list. It belongs there. I do like the posters for these movies quite a bit. They got that part right at least." ★★ UncleChoppa_ at LetterBoxd.com

"Solid follow-up to Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween - a kidventure Halloween movie that deserved more attention than it got. This outing doesn't quite nail the Halloween atmosphere the way the original did and it takes a step too far in the comedic direction for my tastes. But I love that something like this is even getting made - how often are we seeing independently produced gateway horror with practical effects? The Gremlins/Ghoulies-type creatures are a great addition. If the next movie by this gang focused on them instead of Crom, I wouldn't complain." ★★★ FakeVoorhees at LetterBoxd.com

"This was a huge improvement over the first. The camera work, special effects, the creature designs are all a big step up. The dynamic of Harvey and Mary's father is a lot of fun. While the first one had some humor, this one really leans into what it is, which is cheesy, goofy, Halloween fun, and I loved it for that." ★★★ Matt Arko at LetterBoxd.com

"Mary has been entirely recast for some reason. Steve still rules. Not as much fun as the first (what's with shitty music??) Still a good time. I do like the addition of the pookas!" ★★★½ FuneralBitch at LetterBoxd.com

"I just love spending time with these characters. My kids love the movies. They arent overly scary but the right amount of spooky for a family movie night. I'm hoping for a part 3." ★★★ jimbrewersbro at LetterBoxd.com

Watch CURSE OF CROM: THE LEGEND OF HALLOWEEN (2022) Free with Ads + Reviews — Ancient Irish Curse Awakens

This Saint Patrick's Day Halloween An Ancient Irish Curse Will Awaken!

Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween (2022) is currently streaming free with ads on Tubi, YouTube, Roku, Plex, and Fawesome. The throwback family friendly PG-13 horror film originally began streaming in October 2022.

Written by Scott Baird and Rob York, directed by Rob York and starring Chelsea Jurkiewicz, Tanner Gillman, Colin Cunningham, Halem Medina, Ari Bagley, and Monica Moore Smith. Poster artwork by Marc Schoenbach at Sadist Art Designs.

Director Rob York describes the film as “gateway horror paying homage to the style of classic 80’s movies like The Goonies, Monster Squad and Poltergeist. We wanted to capture the atmosphere and fun of the films that traumatized us as kids. Everything was done practically, using cable and rod puppets, water tank optical effects, and lots of slime.”

Jack-O's Review: A fun family friendly gateway horror indie film. It's like a PG-13 Goosebumps movie, no cursing, no gore, no nudity, monster effects look decent, some funny lines and I love the Halloween vibes. I think the opening credits scene was shot by Witching Season Films, very much like their Halloween atmosphere videos. I'll rate it ★★★ out of five. Good. Watched it a few times already." @trickhorrortreater



More Reviews:


"Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween (also known as Curse of Crom) feels like a kiddie movie made by horror fans. You find yourself rooting for it despite yourself. There’s something about the creature, and the lore, that shows some care was given. It’s giving Are You Afraid of The Dark? and Goosebumps, mixed in with some Poltergeist and The Goonies. However, there is something just left of the center stopping it from hitting its mark... The humor is also aimed at kids but comes across as cloying to anyone older than 10. One of the things I think hurts this movie is that it is playing down to children. However, today’s kids are smarter than most of these jokes... Curse of Crom is a Kickstarter-funded project. So we also have to remember that might be where some of the issues arise out of funding. It felt like there were missing scenes, or moments, to lead into some of the more dramatic turns... Another thing hurting Curse of Crom is the simple misfortune of coming out in a year that gave us stronger PG-13 horror entries. Umma, The Curse of Bridge Hollow, and even Spirit Halloween: The Movie came to family night with something for everyone. To varying degrees of success, they all showed up to the kiddie horror pool but managed to stand out. Whereas, the main draw for Curse of Crom is that it feels like it was made by people who studied the kid horror fodder from the 80s and 90s. Those eras were moments, and a throwback to that time is a cool idea. However, the execution didn’t stick the landing... It’s a movie for the kids but has the spirit of a movie you want to root for. It’s a fine gateway entry for tykes wanting to get into the genre but not as metal as we were at that age." ★★ DreadCentral.com

"Smashing pumpkins aside, I feel this film was created with real love for the horror/childhood adventures of the '80s and '90s epoch. The creature/ghost in this film is, uh, really good! Like. Uh, I wasn't expecting it but I really shouldn't be surprised - based on the quality of the rest of the film. So, while this may have hit me in the feels, personally, I stand by my being impressed with this little wonder representing a new generation of the joy of childhood triumph in adventure, fears, and building friendships. This is prefect for your too smart for their own good teenagers, particularly if they are showing interest in horror or any creative outlet. Hat's off to Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween! I think I might make it a yearly tradition to watch in the spooky season. Just because. Just because." HorrorHabit.blogspot.com

"Based on a story by R.H. Grimly, co-writer/director Rob York opens his feature with the image of an autumnal neighbourhood... The effective human relationships are an interesting contrast to the horror-comedy elements, as the pedestrian scares and lacklustre gags fall short. Credit where it’s due, the well-crafted practical effects and a running gag involving exhuming a dead cat work well. It all adds up to a film which feels inspired by R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps, while being a good introduction to horror and an enjoyable piece of family viewing." ★★★½ Nerdly.co.uk

"Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween is a delightful Halloween romp the whole family will enjoy... Filmed in Utah, Curse of Crom has a fairly simple storyline and special effects are minimal — but it’s a solid story and comic relief is plentiful throughout. Based on the awesome movie poster art and overall tone of the movie, it seems like the filmmakers were going for an ‘80s Goonies-esque vibe with a late ‘90s Disney Channel Original Movie feel thrown in for good measure. They succeed on both fronts. There is nothing overly complex here, but it’s definitely some good escapist fun to watch around Halloween. My only beef is the storyline with Mary’s parents; a little too serious for a film like this. It felt out of place. I give Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween three and a half stars." ★★★½ SaltLakeFilmReview.com

"Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween offers up lightweight thrills and a muddled investigative horror story. Likable characters elevate this low stakes teen horror movie to a comfortable, occasionally funny, viewing experience... Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween ticks a few boxes that other lower budget teen horror films struggle with. It finds likable unknown actors and puts them into a fine Halloween aesthetic. It doesn’t strive for anything more than light thrills, but it is enough fun to make something of it... The aforementioned family drama story is Curse of Crom at its worst. Every scene involved in the suplot is fundamentally flawed. It would be one thing if there was just one or two moments where you were annoyed that characters just stand still not explaining themselves…but it happens every scene and is infuriating. The script required a certain amount of family strife and secrets to pay off its plot. The way they go about it is to make every character involved look very stupid as they are unable to explain any plot point or emotion though repeatedly asked... Curse of Crom is an ultra low stakes affair. It would probably play well as a family film. The monster is rarely seen. There are only a few lightly suspenseful scenes. It’s likely too slow moving to hold a young watcher’s attention, however. The movie spends a lot of time on its investigation... Eventually we get all our answers. It’s all convoluted and pretty silly. But, again, Curse of Crom is smart enough to have fun with it. There are simply a few too many missed opportunities to deliver a well-rounded fun family flick. What’s here amounts to more of an inoffensive one... There are better movies out there than Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween. There are also far worse ones. It would benefit from a better plotted family drama and the investigation results being delivered in a more dynamic way. Still, a lot of the movies of its type tend to overload themselves with unlikable characters and poor direction. Curse of Crom avoids those traps with a fine cast and a pleasant Halloween aesthetic." ★★½ ScareValue.com

"The Rob York directed and co-written Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween gave off some real Stranger Things vibes to me, some of which just had to be purposeful. The cast of 'teenagers' may look like adults in their mid-twenties, but the film retained a fun charm to it, though its distinct lack of threat might put some people off... Any film that takes place around Halloween is welcome, and here that vibe is well represented with all manner of Halloween decorations and pumpkins, while the autumn leaves blowing around the town really gave me a vibe of the classic Halloween. In terms of the characters, outside of the blatant fact none of them were played by teenagers, they were a fun bunch, if reliant on stereotypes. Most distracting was Harvey who looked and acted like a cut-price version of Steve from Stranger Things... The actual moments of horror are the weakest element of this film sadly, with Crom looking decent enough for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer monster of the week, but not feeling like much of a genuine threat... It was the type of plot where the characters seem to invent the antagonists intentions and then act accordingly, with no real evidence to support their beliefs... Curse of Crom: The Legend of Halloween was an enjoyable teen horror film that had a mostly great cast of characters. With a bigger kill count, and with a simplified explanation of what the monster was and its intentions this would have benefitted. As it was, this wasn't bad, but the weak antagonist isn't something that is likely to stick in the mind. The film is due for release on 11th September from High Fliers Films." 7/10 TheRottingZombie.blogspot.com
