Some movies are just impossible to care about. They may have a scene or two that is pretty good or even a good idea or two in the storytelling and yet, they fail to engage your mind. The Curse of La Patasola is such a movie. Despite there being at least one legitimately good scene, the film from director A.J Jones never rises above mediocre to downright terrible. The low budget provides some excuses for the low rent nature but it can’t excuse the overall throwaway aspect of The Curse of La Patasola.
The Curse of La Patasola stars Najah Bradley as Naomi, one of half of a pair of couples sharing a camping getaway. Both couples are struggling though they haven’t been talking about their problems. For Naomi, her boyfriend, James (Patrick R Walker), is too passive and doesn’t challenge her in the way she longs for. As for the other couple, Sarah and Daniel, played by Gillie Jones and director A.J Jones, they’re struggling with finances. Daniel has spent several years trying to get a business off the ground while Sarah has supported them both.
