Reaction: With 4 of the first 5 films of the season losing money at the box office, it is certainly a relief that this horror entry has become a solid little hit at the box office.




"Despite the script attracting a star-studded cast, it poorly explains its premise and villain - which leads to far more head-scratching than thrills and scares." - Grace Palance, indieWire





"If you've seen one movie of this ilk, you've seen them all. That said, the films features surprisingly strong performances that help the film stand above its mostly generic premise." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press






"While The Curse of Janara has many of the same shortcomings as other horror projects from writer Andrew Doster, this one at least features some legitimately frightful scenes that will please genre fans." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press








Rated R for frightening violent content and sexuality/nudity
