An international co-production of the United States and France, The Cursed premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival under the title Eight for Silver.

During surgery, an army surgeon discovers and removes an additional fourth bullet made of silver and not of German design.

Having foreseen their impending danger, the elderly Romani leader cast a set of silver dentures in the form of a wolf's fangs for their protection.

Charlotte goes to the local church to pray and encounters Timmy, who claims he has no memory of what happened after donning the fangs.

Molière, believing Edward's disappearance means he has likely been killed, departs, but John offers to stay to assist Seamus.

Luring the Anne-Marie beast, John manages to trap and kill the creature, bringing the corpse to Seamus and performing an autopsy.

During the night after everyone has fallen asleep, Isabelle goes to pray and hears Edward's voice calling to her from outside the barricaded church doors.

A grief-stricken Isabelle lifts the barricade, letting the rampaging beast into the church where it proceeds to massacre the townspeople.

It is revealed that the mortally wounded French captain is the adult Edward, having had the silver bullet lodged inside him ever since he was shot as a creature/child in the church.

Some time later, an adult Charlotte visits an elderly bed-ridden John, returning the fourth silver bullet.
