TheCurseOfBridgeHollow — starring Marlon Wayans and Priah Ferguson — is a family-friendly horror comedy that is derivative from beginning to end. Our review:
A film that provides some light horror comedy fun though is cursed by its own conventions, The Curse of Bridge Hollow gets far too lost in meandering narrative mechanics and never takes flight. The Curse of Bridge Hollow approaches being an outright parody at moments, calling out many of the tropes of the horror genre, only to then replicate each of them under the guise of poking fun. Despite its best efforts, it won't become a Halloween cinematic classic anytime soon.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Howard also wants his daughter to take part in the science team, whereas Sydney just wants to do her own thing. When the two of them uncover a mysterious force that threatens to consume the town, they’ll have to team up to piece together how they can stop it.
This all operates in the confines of a serviceable yet superficial storyline where the father-daughter duo has to investigate their way through town to figure out how to stop the haunting. There are moments that recall another referential Netflix property, Stranger Things, that are sprinkled throughout this journey. Unfortunately, it opts to just have the basics without any of the deeper darkness and earned humor of that show.
