UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
作为单纯一部恐怖片，真好看！完成度真高！仿佛看到了2012年前后的泰国恐怖片那股劲头。片子里前后手持影像档案折来折去，让本来一条线走到底的故事饶有趣味。整个片子虽然还是伪纪录片，但实现了女主角自己操控的视角，她给你想让你看的，但最后也告诉所有人怎么一回事，有始有终。算是最近亚洲恐怖片里最名副其实的作品了，导演编剧挺实在，最后没绕关子，包袱全都出来了，但自然也不如《灵媒》云牵雾绕那般神秘了。失了韵味，但圆了故事。
营销什么时候都是过头的，评论里一些自称爱看恐怖片的人，说着看似合理的话，吹出一部史上最恐怖出来，真是不怕人笑话。
不要跟着念那八个字!
我真的好惊！看完头痛脖子痛，现在就想抹掉关于这部片的记忆。纠结视角和伪纪录的形式很可笑，这就是女主搜集到一切视角的素材，并剪辑而成，放给所有观众观看，并让所有观众分担诅咒的长视频啊！打破第四面墙可不仅仅存在于影片内部哦。她连佛母的脸都敢掀开，剪个片子帮佛母增加供奉也是小事一桩啦。
很喜欢拍摄方式，相信晦气的和qq空间不转不及格的是一批人
别怕大家，看的是盗版资源就享受不到正版诅咒。而且看鬼片不就是看个晦气，不然看啥，把人唬住了说明效果到位。
记得小时候经常遇到有一个把戏：路上有一个拴着红绳的卷起来的一毛钱，拿起来打开一看，里面会有一个小纸条，上面写着一个小故事，故事最后写着“把这张纸条内容抄十遍扔掉，否则家里人会出事。别怪我我也是没办法”。这部片就是这种。
说晦气什么的，是没经历过录像带时期的午夜凶铃么
期待了三个月，概括来讲就是四个字：灵啊灵啊。 影片至少五处场景独具匠心：电梯那段致敬《lights out》，仪式现场女主慌不择路RPG游戏既视感，大妈冷不丁的背后突袭，祝福符号视觉停留，结尾传播正能量传播爱，都来得太巧妙。 有几个镜头密集恐惧症患者看得简直叫苦不迭，有点手臂挑芝麻那味儿了。
爱你作死的模样
柯孟融導演極有可能是整部片裡唯一中邪的人，由他創建起來的視覺邪教執意於向我們散佈「攝像機無所不能」的詛咒。也許在導演看來，若要讓「看後即死」的催眠恐懼能夠奏效，無孔不入的多重視點不可或缺：正如信徒重複唸誦同一句咒語，觀者在受到導演對攝像機異乎尋常的宗教式迷戀的持續影響同時，詛咒的儀式已經完成。由此看來，導演的「惡意」才最讓我感到害怕，而不是光有表面邪惡的電影。偽紀錄片形式於是成為《咒》最大的謊言，恰恰相反，導演逼迫著我們去「觀看」各個不可能存在的角度，各種精心策劃的靈異現象，總之看得越多越好，沒有什麼是攝像機不能捕捉和實現的。資訊過載的恐懼瀰漫人心，遮掩神母雙眼的紅布被揭開的一剎那，連最「不可見」之事亦能被輕易轉化為可見，（仍然完好無損的）機器便成為唯一的，真正的恐怖本身：深不見底的虛無。
谁说看正版的才算英雄
豆瓣恐怖片分偏低，是观众鉴赏能力的问题？不，其实是观众对于这个类型作品中的创造力和开拓性，这两点有相当深的误解和歧视，例如《咒》中为了让观众身体力行体会被古老诅咒缠身的恐惧感，而创造的设定，并非很高级，但是是生效的，这部作品最大的问题是手持摄影的风格过于突出，削弱了电影感和作品质感，一种视觉呈现方式用过头了，会让人觉得视觉疲劳，而咒语本身的设定和某国文化层面的深度链接，反而是有趣的点，看电影而已，觉得晦气or被冒犯的，应该看看佛经、道家典籍，人没那么容易相信影视作品里的东西，如若不然你们每天看偶像剧，难道就成白富美、高富帅了吗，醒醒吧（继续装傻也无妨），脑子是个好东西。
最后，诅咒反弹给这部电影的编剧和导演！
原先不抱太高期望，只求能接近国外普通恐怖片的效果就行了，但实际质量其实并不比一些有名的国外恐怖片要差。
我不理解为什么到了2022年还有“这个世界的形状是以你自己的意志为准”这种台词，以及我竟然在里面看到了单亲母亲的不易……除此以外的部分我感觉都在侮辱自己，这个诅咒的水准大概就和“请转发到十个群里不然你就会倒霉”一个性质。最后主角长得太像海清了，以至我总觉得她要问跳出来的鬼：你一个月工资多少钱？买房了吗？准备写我的名字吗……
影片直面当下最迫切的问题，立意很好，但影像的呈现始终略弱。很多处的配乐都显得虚张声势。如果能把尾声里Jodie的长独白处理得掷地有声，也许会好一些。
更何况质量真的上等
确实晦气 但又挺好看的 但故事又讲得不清不楚。。。就是牙齿头发什么的，女主的孩子为什么被选中还有诅咒为什么是这种表现形式也没说，就单纯地诡异和恶心。。
