MPAA RATING: PG-13 for sequences of horror violence, terror, disturbing images and language

Starring Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Jessica Lucas, David Paymer, and Dileep Rao

Christine Brown is an ambitious L.A. loan officer. Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks, and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home. In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas to save her soul from eternal damnation. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse? (Universal Pictures)

Don't Be Fooled By the Trailer. It's not a straight Horror movie. It's a Horror comedy. The over the top gore is supposed to be funny.

The trailer really puts me off....the graphics, they look really "b-film" quality. Are they that bad for a reason?


Been hearing positive reviews about it though, but the trailer....it just makes the film look bad =/

Maybe the trailer makes the film look bad so you'll be pleasantly surprised when you go see the film, haha.

Anyway, I might watch it since the reviews are good.

i actually just came back from watching this. i must say, this is probably one of the scariest and most decent horror flick i've seen in awhile. (man, even hard ''critics" like rottentomatoes gave it a 7.8/10, when they usually give new horror flicks under a 5 hahah) i don't wanna ruin anything for anyone, but yall got my thumbsup to go see it. it's DEF worth it!!! smile.gif HELLA scary too hahah~ i'll admit, i screamed a lot...

Interesting because the movie looks really cheesy then I saw the reviews on Yahoo and Rotten Tomatoes, which had pretty good ratings. I might check out this movie...

Anyone watched this yet? Completely overshadowed by "Up", but number 3 spot for the box office isn't too bad.

Lol. I get scared easily so I found the movie scary toos. lol.

I totally looked away when the cat was being sacrificed. I hate animal violence. tears.gif I felt bad for the old man to ended up being dragged to hell in the end.

I loved it. If you've ever seen "Evil Dead", a classic demon horror comedy from Raimi, you know what I'm talking about. He is a sound genius with the music and sound effects. It's like an embodiment of audio horror. Raimi loves things oozing out of the mouth and eyeballs flying out of sockets. It was worth the matiness price. biggrin.gif

It's a fun movie. Predictable, but good.

Wow this movie got some really good reviews. That doesn't happen much with today's horror films. It's rare to find good ones though so I understand why.

IMO this movie has its' moments that caused me to yelp.
As the movie develops, it gets scarier.
Furthermore I found it hilarious hahaha.
There was a good balance of comedy and horror.
Lots of puck, that's all I got to say.

What got me to watch it at first was the director Sam Raimi, man I love Spider Man too much :].

i think the online reviews are a bit generous. The movie was good, but very predictable. I'll admit though, the scares and laughs were an interesting combination smile.gif
