This is very, very good. Thank you for writing so precisely about two of the most disturbing (complimentary) things I've watched in the past few months. The Curse is such an achievement, marked by Stone's maniacal yet effective acting choices and Sadfie's uncanny, genre-bending storytelling. It builds slow but envelopes you in an evil that's hard to penetrate but harder to shake. I love how you compared it to Zone of Interest, too. It's rather apt given the evil of that movie is also cloaked but occurring right in front of our faces, similar to how evil functions in our everyday lives. Both of them do an exceptional job of portraying a translucent evil, one that at times you feel is there but can't always see and your essay captures this acutely. Thank you so much for writing, please don't ever stop!
