The Curse (2023) follows Whitney and Asher Siegel as they try to balance their marriage, ambition, and deeply flawed vision of “Fliplanthropy,” an HGTV-style show about flipping rundown homes into eco-friendly dwellings. Their plan attracts an eccentric, opportunistic reality-TV producer, Dougie, whose presence pushes the couple into ethical and personal turmoil. Paranoia increases after an encounter involving a young girl’s alleged curse, leading Asher to question reality and his relationships. While grounded in everyday conflict and satirical absurdity, the show explores themes of privilege, gentrification, performative altruism, and the psychological strain of creating media. With sharp writing and dark humor, The Curse makes viewers laugh, squirm, and reflect on the unseen consequences of good intentions.
