NFT: Cursed Images (2026) by Jonas Odenheimer

Director: Jonas Odenheimer

Year: 2026

Country: United Kingdom

Alternate Titles: N/A

Plot:

Hoping to get their money’s worth, a group of friends decides to embark on a project gathering a supposed set of thought-cursed NFTs, but soon after collecting the images, find themselves stalked and killed by the figures they’ve collected and must try to stop it from continuing.

Review:

Overall, this was a decent enough if somewhat troubling genre effort. Among the better factors with this one comes from the solid and topical idea of the group being haunted and stalked because of the different attitude towards the haunted collection. The urban legend regarding the owner of the particular collection of tokens that the group soon finds themselves in possession of and must figure out the truth about the situation when they start dying is a serviceable enough starting point that’s able to introduce the gang, get the cards into their collection, and set about trying to solve the supernatural encounters surrounding them. These scenes are enjoyable enough, with the deformed and pixel-heavy creations of the cursed image they hold, leading to some admittedly creepy moments of the figure appearing out of the shadows or surrounding darkness to attack.

While this is all fun enough, there are some problems in the rest of the story to hold it down. This is mostly centered on the overtly over-explained nature of what the tokens are actually supposed to be, which raises quite a lot of questions about the whole thing. The whole fad of collecting these cryptocurrency tokens and the technology behind it is painfully underwhelming and barely that interesting, yet this goes on for half an hour about this type of content to the point that the group isn’t worth following or caring about what happens to them. More to the point, the idea of the kills being mostly off-screen and not that impactful drains their impact when the full extent of the curse is missing, where the lack of an impact on what’s going on ends up leaving the film where everything is way too tame and underwhelming. As a whole, these are what bring this one down overall.

Overview: ***/5

A watchable if troublesome genre effort, this one manages to get some worthwhile elements present, but is let down by too many drawbacks to be anything more than a middling enough genre effort. Those with an interest in this style of genre fare or who are curious about it will have the most to like, while most others out there might want to heed caution.
