Great series! The shot after the credits of The Wizard Of Oz alone make it worth the watch!

The Cursed Films episode devoted to Cannibal Holocaust was good viewing.

An excellent series, though some episodes seem to not really have much of a curse to talk about and instead are just about the controversies of specific films which is far less interesting.
