Smorgasbord of “Cursed” reviews…
I say “smorgasbord” because these vary greatly in content and quality. The torchonline.com one particularly is full of sloppy errors (calling Shota “Ephiny”, for example, which was Danielle Cormack’s character in Xena, and calling the beast a “werewolf”) yet it’s full of enthusiasm.
** Edit: Ok, thanks to a comment by the author of thetorchonline.com review, I’d like to rewrite my statement to say “Even though I didn’t “get it” when I read, it, the torchonline.com one should be read with a sense of humor and mindful of old monster movies.”
If you haven’t seen Cursed yet, beware, these are FULL OF SPOILERS. Enter at your own risk.

“SEEKER Recap (1-19): How is Kahlan Like a Werewolf?” by Brent Hartinger
Um, calling her “Ephiny” is meant as a joke, as is the repeated “werewolf” reference, since it’s clear they were paying homage to THE WOLF MAN movie again and again. It’s a RECAP, folks — snark intended.
Hi Brent,
Thanks for visiting! Unfortunately, your tongue-in-cheek tone wasn’t clear to me upon reading your article. I know there are some other fans that missed it too, merely assuming that you hadn’t done your homework. (there’s a thread about it on the terrygoodkind.com forums)
Upon re-reading the review now that I know your intent, it did read entirely differently. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
I understand. I think we ALL do that on the internet — read things very very quickly.
