RELATED: 10 Best Werewolf Transformations In Horror Movies, RankedĬrafting an utterly astonishing feminist fable, Moore tells his story through parallel narration, conflating the practices of the Pennamaquot Native Americans who would temporarily banish their menstruating tribe members to an elevated dwelling known as the "red lodge" with modern, consumerist forms of female enslavement–targeted advertising playing up the importance of body image, relegation to serve as housewives, etc. "The Curse" takes the pop horror fan-favorite character of the werewolf and uses it and its associations as an allegory for the uncaged fury of the American woman, confined for too long by a society that has subjugated them and pigeonholed their roles for centuries. As part of Moore's incredible Keroac-esque saga "American Gothic", "The Curse" is one of a series of episodic tales in which the eponymous hero must confront a supernatural horror whose past belies a moral or ethical failure of American society.
