“The Curse Of Buckout Road” (** out of four) was a trite horror story about a group of kids (Evan Ross, Dominique Provost-Chalkey, and others) who soon discover that urban legend regarding evil spirits on Buckout Road is terrifyingly real; meanwhile a hard-nosed cop (Henry Czerny) and a criminal psychiatrist (Danny Glover) try to investigate and sort all of this out. Good cast and director do what they can with tired material. It’s fun to see the usually villainous Czerny in a role as a cop and Glover is strong as always but this is still overcome by the overall “curse” of other and better movies.
