NFT: Cursed Images, which is mostly set inside Kit’s (Patrick Shearer) flat somewhere in London, kicks off by introducing us to a gathering of these long-standing friends. James (David Wyman), the only non-crypto-savvy one of the group, has just returned to the city after being away post his breakup with Cas (Mariah Nonnemacher), who happens to tag along with Julia (Jasmine Clark), not knowing that it would be super-awkward meeting the guy who dumped her.
Julia is dating Nes (Nobuse Jnr), the know-it-all of the group, with a clear suggestion being made about him dabbling in drugs with the host at some point (although like James’ reasons to leave or his return, this part isn’t explained at any point whatsoever). There’s also Sarah, whom Kit is into and possibly wants to get back with, but Sarah has had it with his shenanigans, even though Kit treats her like one of her crypto-bros. Dan (Durassie Kiangangu), who hasn’t had the kind of success all of the others have had (and is quietly bullied for being poor by Nes), seems to be the only character out of the bunch that feels real.
Anyway, the film begins with a prologue where a couple is killed by the titular images before the gathering starts, and Odenheimer makes sure he uses James’ character to present an expositionary bit about what NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) really are. So, once the audience is up to speed, the plot kicks in. Kit receives a set of images that Sarah instantly recognises as a part of a collection known as Crypto horrors.
The friends do not pay heed to this odd claim as Kit sends each of them one of the images that he randomly received. However, once all of them leave the party and head back home, the Cursed images seem to take shape and start haunting and later hunting each one of them.
