Blood Curse is a "reimagining" of the first installment in the series, Siren, with many alterations to structure and content, along with most of the gameplay improvements introduced in Forbidden Siren 2.
The blood curse refers to a controversial New Testament passage from the Gospel of Matthew, which describes events taking place in Pilate's court before the crucifixion of Jesus and specifically the apparent willingness of the crowd to accept liability for Jesus' death.
Matthew 27:24–25 reads:
This passage has no counterpart in the other Gospels and is probably related to the destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70 CE. Theologian Ulrich Luz describes it as "redactional fiction" invented by the author of the Matthew Gospel. Some writers, viewing it as part of Matthew's anti-Jewish polemic, see in it the seeds of later Christian antisemitism.St. John Chrysostom wrote of this incident:
Coisa Ruim is a 2006 Portuguese supernatural horror film directed by Tiago Guedes and Frederico Serra.
It won the 2006 Portuguese Golden Globe for Best Film.
