The Curse2023
“What could go wrong?”
Created by Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie
🏆 1 win & 22 nominations total
The premise
An alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring on their problematic new HGTV show.
Horror Vault's take
A newly married couple navigate a crumbling relationship and an encroaching sense of dread as they film a feel-good home renovation show in New Mexico — all while an alleged curse quietly takes root beneath their carefully curated progressive image. The series blurs the line between reality and performance, mining deep discomfort from the gap between who these people believe they are and who they actually are. Equal parts cringeworthy satire and creeping psychological horror, it burrows under the skin long after each episode ends.
