When Cursed originally came out in theaters it was a PG-13 movie. There wasn't a single shot of violence in the entire movie. It was a slasher movie with no slashing. The unrated home release was just the R version of the movie, and that's the one everyone in this thread has seen and that I, personally, enjoy as a b-movie.
The way Hollywood butchers movies so that teenagers can watch them is mind-boggling. Yes, teens are the largest movie-going audience but if you take a movie where people want to see the R-rated parts of it, or a movie that teens don't want to watch anyways (like Master and Commander), and then edit it down to a PG-13 movie, that doesn't automatically make teens want to see it.
Seriously I would kill a man to see the work print for Master and Commander.
Oh what the hell the original version of Cursed had Omar Epps and James Brolin? When your editing removes those two men from a movie you know you're doing wrong.
