The Cursed
A girl who can kill by curse and the reporter who decides to use her.
The Cursed opens with a main title sequence of 40 seconds.
At 40 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for horror sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on tvN in 2020, when Stranger, Crash Landing on You and Hospital Playlist were also on the network.
