Key opinion
The Bridge Curse is a conventional Taiwanese horror film that effectively leverages local folklore and an intriguing urban legend. While it provides solid genre entertainment, its impact is hindered by technical inconsistencies in its found-footage format and a somewhat predictable narrative.
| Culture | The film successfully roots its horror in authentic Taiwanese folklore and local urban legends. | |
| Theme | The absence of adult characters effectively heightens the sense of vulnerability and isolation among the student protagonists. | |
| Screenplay | The non-linear structure and unexpected twists provide occasional narrative interest, though the final reveal is modest. | |
| Direction | The found-footage immersion is undermined by inconsistent visual styles and logic gaps, such as unexplained phone recoveries and missing live-stream cues. |
