“The Curse Of Sleeping Beauty” (** out of four) was a hokey supernatural thriller about a loner (Ethan Peck) who inherits a lucrative estate from his estranged uncle which comes with a mysterious curse which eventually threatens him and those around him. Strong atmosphere and cinematography keep you engrossed for a little while but story never takes off and eventually decays into sheer corn. Yet another haunted house thriller all-too-obviously inspired by both “Poltergeist” and “The Shining” but sorely missing Stanley Kubrick or Steven Spielberg’s touch.
