For those unfamiliar with the term, NFT is the abbreviation for non-fungible tokens, i.e., digitally-created art that does not exist in the physical realm. NFTs can be sold or traded in the same manner and on the same principles as crypto currency.

NFT: CURSED IMAGES takes the hot potato mythology of THE RING (if you get it, you need to pass it on fast, or else) and applies it to NFTs.

After a prologue, we are informed onscreen that we’re in 2021 London. Kit (Patrick Shearer), a twentysomething crypto bro who is doing very well with his portfolio, has opened up his flat for a get-together with longtime pals. The group includes James (David Wayman), Cass (Mariah Nonnemacher), Dan (Durassie Kiangangu), Sarah (Amelie Edwards), Nes (Nobuse Jr), and Julia (Jasmine Clark).

There are past and present couples here. Everyone is familiar with NFTs, except for James, who knows about but hasn’t tried them yet, and Dan, the researching wonk and relative Luddite, who thinks the whole thing is a scam.

When the Crypto Horrors account dumps seven NFTs into Kit’s digital wallet, he keeps one and promptly distributes the other six to his guests.

Sarah knows about Crypto Horrors. It has 666 reportedly cursed NFTs, which are airdropped to people at random. If they aren’t sold to someone else soon enough, the curse enacts.

Dan does a little investigation and learns that each NFT is based on a legend from a different culture. Each buyer/owner must learn his or her own way of fighting the curse specific to that NFT.

So far, so good. What’s even better is that the manifestations of the NFTs, each one unique, are suitably creepy and inventive.

On the downside, nobody is insisting on THE RING’s one-week schedule, but in NFT: CURSED IMAGES, the curse doesn’t give some of its victims even ninety minutes to pass along the items, while others get a bit longer. The who and why seem arbitrary, especially as we see at the opening that a few people get at least a whole day.

Second, while American viewers can appreciate that the U.K. does not have a gun culture and therefore has somewhat safer public spaces, do most Londoners feel comfortable walking outside by themselves at 3:30 AM? All the characters here do, even once some of them suspect there may be something real to this curse stuff. It seems like there’d be at least one person who’d insist on an escort or, better still, sheltering in place.

Finally, there are certain rules for this type of storytelling. Yes, rules are made to be broken, but if a filmmaker is just introducing their lore, and part of that lore is that the NFT curse is assigned to its owner, how can an individual NFT attack someone who is not the owner? (Yes, that previous sentence is about as geeky as a sentence can be, but the point stands.)

Writer/director Jonas Odenheimer takes great advantage of the desolate nocturnal locations. He utilizes striking color contrasts, like bright orange and dark blue, which give the grotesque spirits more punch.

NFT: CURSED IMAGES has a promising premise, strong atmosphere and worthy supernatural creatures. As it has the elements needed for a horror franchise, we can hope that the next installment utilizes its assets more cohesively.
