Driving home, Jimmy and Ellie collide with an animal and another car. They attempt to rescue the other driver, Becky Morton, but an unseen creature slashes the siblings before it drags Becky off and rips her in half. When interviewed by police, despite Jimmy's belief that it was a wolf or dog-type animal, the official report credits it to a bear or cougar. Jimmy does research about wolves in California and starts to believe that the creature was a werewolf , sharing his thoughts with a disbelieving Ellie.
Later, Ellie is surprised to find herself attracted to the smell of blood on a co-worker, but eases her concerns by touching a silver picture frame and not getting burned. Jimmy is becoming much stronger and more aggressive, as shown when a bully named Bo coerces him to join the wrestling team. He easily defeats three wrestlers, including Bo, and calls Bo out for constantly making gay jokes towards him, saying that Bo himself is repressing his own homosexuality.
At a party, Jenny runs into Joanie, who is paying attention to Jake. Jenny leaves the party, while Jake and Joanie leave as the full moon rises.
Jenny is torn apart in a parking garage by a werewolf — Zela's predictions for both Jenny and Becky have come to pass. Ellie starts to believe the werewolf hypothesis when she meets Zela, who warns about the effect the coming full moon will have. Jimmy proves they have been cursed when he holds a silver cake server and gets burned, discovering that the picture frame Ellie touched earlier was only stainless steel. Their dog, Zipper, [7] bites Jimmy, tastes his blood, becomes a lycanthropoid monster, and goes on a rampage. Realizing what's happening, Jimmy goes to warn Ellie with Bo, who showed up at their house to confess that he is gay and has feelings for Jimmy; Bo is flatly rejected, but still helps Jimmy.
Ellie has deduced that Jake is a werewolf. He confirms it, but claims it wasn't he who attacked her and Jimmy. When a fourth werewolf attacks them, Bo and Jimmy try to help, but Bo is knocked out.
The new werewolf turns back into Joanie, who was cursed after a one-night stand with Jake. She now wants revenge by killing all of the other girls Jake dates. When Jake refuses to let Joanie hurt Ellie, she knocks him out, then turns into werewolf form and starts attacking.
Ellie and Jimmy fight her, and when the police arrive, the two draw her out by insulting her. The police open fire, apparently killing her in werewolf form, but she rises again as her head and heart are still connected. A policeman shoots her in the head, finally killing her. Bo is okay, but Jake has disappeared. Jimmy and Ellie return to a wrecked home. As Jimmy works to restore the power, Jake arrives. He reveals that he did bite Ellie and Jimmy, and wants to kill Jimmy due to his alpha male instinct and have Ellie live forever by his side.
She and Jake fight, but her werewolf form emerges sporadically while he has complete control over his, dominating the fight. Werewolf Jimmy joins in, climbing across the ceiling and biting Jake, allowing Ellie to stab and badly injure Jake with the silver cake server. Ellie decapitates Jake with a shovel and breaks the curse on the two siblings and Zipper. They watch as Jake's body bursts into flames. Bo, Brooke, and Zipper arrive at the house. Bo and Jimmy are now friends; Jimmy kisses Brooke and walks her home along with Bo. Ellie is stuck with the clean-up of the messy house.
The original script was written in August Dimension co-founder Bob Weinstein announced in October that Cursed would "reinvent the werewolf genre," and Wes Craven would direct, with the movie being released around August The original plotline had three strangers brought together by a car accident in the Hollywood Hills and the subsequent attack of a werewolf.
Filming also occurred at Verdugo Hills High School. However, the film soon suffered numerous production and script issues and was postponed for over a year. While production was stalled, several cast members had to be replaced due to scheduling conflicts with other films.
Some of them had even filmed scenes which were scrapped by director Wes Craven.
In the film, Ellie works among the crew of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn , with Kilborn making a cameo appearance and Scott Baio , as himself, being booked to appear on the show. But by the time the film was released in February , Kilborn had left the show and had been replaced with Craig Ferguson.
Although, while filming the original version, producer Bob Weinstein told Wes Craven he was happy with the film, he later changed his opinion and ordered for the movie to be reshot with a new plot.

After massive reshoots which included filming a new ending, Weinstein told Craven he didn't like the new ending, leading to another ending where Jake attacks Ellie and Jimmy in their home, despite some incoherence with the rest of the film. Rick Baker did the werewolf effects for the original version of the film, but once Bob Weinstein and Miramax ordered reshoots, all the scenes with Baker's effects were deleted and replaced by KNB. In the fall of , Dimension cut the film to a PG rating instead of the planned R rating.
It was a very difficult process.

Then it was basically taken away from us and cut to PG and ruined. It was two years of very difficult work and almost days of shooting of various versions. Then at the very end, it was chopped up and the studio thought they could make more with a PG movie, and trashed it I thought it was completely disrespectful, and it hurt them too, and it was like they shot themselves in the foot with a shotgun.
My advice to those who haven't seen the movie: Don't take it so seriously! It's supposed to be fun. The obvious jokes aren't the only ones you are supposed to laugh at ;.

Edit Details Official Sites: Hollywood Center Studios - N. Edit Did You Know? Trivia Rick Baker did the werewolf effects for the original version of the film but once Bob Weinstein and Miramax ordered re-shoots all the scenes with Baker's effects were deleted and KNB had to take over. But even most of their work didn't make it into the final film because Miramax and Bob Weinstein thought that their effects didn't look good so they added lot of CGI into the film to cover up all the practical effects, like death scenes and almost all the werewolf scenes.
There are some promotional stills that were shown in magazines like Fangoria at the time of the production which show some of the "removed" practical gore effects.
