The town of Downers Grove looks like your average suburban neighborhood -- but Downers Grove has a disturbing secret.... For the past eight years, one senior from every high school graduating class has met a bizarre death right before graduation day. And this year, Chrissie Swanson has a terrible feeling that she is going to be the one to die. Can Chrissie survive the curse of Downers Grove or will she, like those seniors before her, fall prey to the town's deadly secret?

The Hollywood Reporter
Co-scripted by a slumming Bret Easton Ellis, The Curse of Downers Grove is all over the place in tone, never managing to decide what kind of film it wants to be. - 30
Los Angeles Times
The Curse of Downers Grove seems to be jumping on that 1990s teen slasher bandwagon two decades too late. - 30
Variety
Although it’s being marketed as a horror film, The Curse of Downers Grove turns out to be something else — a messy hash of teen soap opera, stalker thriller and whatnot whose titular, possibly supernatural aspect is basically irrelevant. - 25
Movie Nation
Curse of Downer’s Grove is so awful it’s no fair to lay it all at the feet of the co-writer, who didn’t direct or cast this disaster, after all.
