Reviews:
“Saw the early screening and love the McGraw sisters in this! Acting is phenomenal and the special effects team did a great job. The storyline lacked in backstory for my liking, but overall set the mood and let the star actresses thrive!” ★★½ Jokimaru
“The Curse of the Necklace emerges as a captivating horror film that intertwines supernatural themes with meaningful social commentary […] With its blend of personal drama and supernatural elements, it offers viewers not just scares but also a poignant exploration of family dynamics under duress.” Vocal Media Critique
“Unfortunately, I’m out on this one… The Curse of the Necklace had some glimmers of creepy potential, but it relied too much on watered-down scares and a trope-heavy plot. The McGraw girls need to be in more horror films, however!” TV Fanatic Girl
“There’s the usual assortment of CGI spirits that dissolve into ash, possession, levitation, a seance that makes matters worse and an exorcism just to make sure all the bases are covered. Even the mid-credits scene is stolen from John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness. It’s all been done and done much better many times before. The cast tries to make it work, but there’s only so much you can do with something this lacklustre.” ★½ Voices from the Balcony
