While talking to his son about job options the father is reading a newspaper which is clearly The Australian, an Australian newspaper not readily available in the US where this movie is supposed to be set.Curse of the Talisman received mixed reviews generally unfavorable from critics. Clayton Trapp of Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films gave Curse of the Talisman one stars out of two and said, Film gets on a formulaic track early and refuses to get off, which partly works for it. Its the least scary monster movie Ive ever seen but its satisfied to be there, they just want to stay on formula and entertain us the way that others have entertained them. No pretensions no one is sitting around reading Nietzsche, no special effects addiction but funny where used, no sex and gore overthetopness the gargoyles are actually kind of cute, no bullshit or all bullshit, according to taste. Video Picks for Perverts simply said, Theres no tits, either. Fucking worthless. ........
