10 Most Powerful Horror Movie Curses

10. Unrest

Unrest has a similar vibe to the recent (and pretty darn successful) The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Like the aforementioned flick, the bringer of the curse is a mysterious corpse. Those who disrespect or otherwise upset the corpse seem to soon meet their ends.

A group of medical students are assigned the body to dissect for class, and quickly notice that something is wrong with it. It is covered in scars from seemingly self-inflicted wounds, and pretty much from the offset our protagonist Alison feels uncomfortable in its presence.

Eventually the reason for the curse’s potency is revealed: the body belongs to that of a deceased archeologist, who once uncovered a mass grave in Brazil and thus angered the Aztec god of fertility. For the crime of disturbing the bodies of those once sacrificed to the god, the archeologist suffered a curse in life that stuck to her body after death.

Alison does her best amongst all the chaos to set things right and lay the body and its curse to rest, but when the big guys upstairs are involved sometimes it’s just too far above a medical student’s pay grade...
