No curse they can't reverse. No demon they can't exterminate. No spell they can't break.

However, they are put to the test when they encounter a real magical curse in a haunted forest with real magical beings, requiring genuine courage.

Ask the title a question

Answered from what people have written, never made up: a verdict, how much when it's a matter of degree, and the sentences that say so, quoted with their names. Reviews here first, then TMDB's reviews and the title's Wikipedia plot and reception. If nothing settles it, you can put it to the curators.
