TUBI ORIGINAL: The Curse of the Necklace (2024)

Frank (Henry Thomas, who was once Elliot and Krista Garcia once did a zine, The Scaredy Cat Stalker, all about how she was obsessed with him but in a lovely way) has finally lost his wife Laura (Sarah Lind). Too much drinking, too much pain, he’s a cop, and you know how well their marriages seem to work. But maybe that old necklace he’s found will win her and his daughters Judith (Madeleine McGraw) and Ellen (Violet McGraw) back. Or probably just as likely, it’s haunted by the spirit of an evil little boy named Jonah (Archer Anderson); you know how these things happen.

Will there be a psychic — Beatrice (Roma Maffia) — who was part of the original events that cursed this necklace? Will the children be in supernatural danger? Will it be set in the 60s and have some of that Conjuring feel? Will there be a seance? Will there be a mid-credits tease of a sequel? How many possession movies do I watch a year?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Of course. At least six hundred and sixty-five.

Director Juan Pablo Arias Munoz and writer John Ducey give you what you want from a movie like this, but this is very much a grandma who knows you like Ed and Lorraine Warren movies,s. Hence, she bought you the new one without knowing it has nothing to do with them. That said, this is a Warner Bros. movie, and in another time and place, perhaps pre-pandemic, this would be a January theater movie, orphaned in a time when no one goes out to the movies, but then again, no one at all goes to the movies these days.

A tip to men: Don’t give your estranged wife murder jewelry.

You can watch this on Tubi.
