The Cursed

During the Battle of the Somme, a French captain suffering from three gunshot wounds is rushed to a medical tent for urgent surgery. In a shocking turn of events, the surgeon uncovers a fourth bullet made of silver, which reveals a deeper connection to the past.

Flashback thirty-five years reveals the brutal actions of Seamus Laurent, a cruel land baron, who leads a violent assault on a Romani clan occupying his territory. This horrific act culminates in the massacre of the clan, leaving deep-seated resentment and a thirst for vengeance.

As anticipation of violence mounts, the wise elder of the Romani clan crafts silver dentures shaped like wolf fangs for protection against impending danger. This act symbolizes both hope and the tragic foresight of the clan's fate.

In the aftermath of the massacre, the clan leader is buried alive, clenching her silver fangs tightly in her grasp. This haunting image serves as a grim reminder of the violence inflicted upon the Romani people.

The brutal events of the past come back to haunt the townsfolk, including Seamus' own children, Edward and Charlotte. They experience terrifying nightmares featuring the scarecrow and the ominous silver fangs, which plague their dreams and disrupt their lives.

During a play session, farm boy Timmy shares the location of the scarecrow with the other children, igniting their curiosity. However, upon discovering the silver fangs in its grasp, Timmy succumbs to a dark impulse that leads to chaos and fear.

As tensions rise, Timmy, now possessed by an evil force, bites Edward's throat, resulting in pandemonium among the children. This incident marks the beginning of a series of horrific events stemming from the curse related to the silver fangs.

With Edward's condition deteriorating, Charlotte turns to the local church for guidance. In a fateful encounter, she meets Timmy, who, despite his memory loss, reveals the hiding place of the cursed silver fangs, pushing her further into the depths of this dark mystery.

Timmy is hunted by an unseen creature after he flees into the woods, ultimately meeting a grim fate in an abandoned shack. His tragic end intensifies the suspense, leaving the townsfolk to grapple with the horrors that have surfaced.

Widowed pathologist John McBride arrives in the town to investigate the mysterious happenings linked to the traveling Romani. He partners with lieutenant Alfred Molière as they delve deeper into the unfolding horrors stemming from the past.

A horrifying encounter with a creature leads to the tragic deaths of two townspeople and leaves Anne-Marie critically injured. John discovers the creature's true nature and the extent of the looming curse, heightening the tension in the town.

After capturing and killing the creature, John realizes it was once Anne-Marie, further confirming his fears of a spreading infection among the townspeople. He reveals to Isabelle that Seamus orchestrated the Romani massacre, linking the town's suffering to a dark past.

Charlotte discloses the location of the cursed silver fangs, which John forges into bullets in preparation for the creature's next attack. This act represents a turning point as they attempt to confront the evil that has been unleashed upon their lives.

As the beast attacks again, it bites Anais, who goes into denial about her injury. The dire situation escalates when Seamus confronts her, leading to a devastating struggle that culminates in a desperate fight and the manor being set ablaze.

In the frantic chaos, Isabelle lets the beast into the church, resulting in catastrophic consequences for the townspeople. John, determined to protect everyone, ultimately resorts to shooting Isabelle to save them from Edward, leading to tragic revelations and devastating losses.

With heavy losses weighing upon him, John takes on the responsibility of protecting Edward and Charlotte, embodying the role of guardian in the aftermath of the horror. As time passes, the traumatic legacy of the silver bullet embedded within Edward will shape their futures.

In a poignant conclusion, an adult Charlotte returns to visit John, now elderly and bedridden. She hands him the last silver bullet, symbolizing the end of a cursed chapter as they are left to confront the haunting echoes of their past.
