Time Out

A gross-out fright movie that is, in the directors own words, more like a funhouse ride than a bloodbath,...

how far will she go to break free of the curse?

Sharon from South Wales, 2nd August, 2008

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) 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 (David Paymer), 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 and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) to save her soul from eternal damnation. To help the shattered Christine return her life to normal, the psychic sets her on a frantic course to reverse the spell. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?

AMAZINGLY STUPID

MissCh33kyChops from from Leamington Spa, 9th June, 2009

Shocking. film. Granted it was jumpy in places but this does not compensate for the appalling storyline. The film was far fetched & damn right ridiculous. Certainly a waste of time & money so would advise all not to bother with this one...

Absolute Rubbish!

ultimatetossmaster from , 30th May, 2009

Spent most of my time looking at my watch waiting for it to end. The film is riddled with stupid scenes which are just gross and to me the film came across as a comedy.

Masterpiece

A Customer from Torquay, 29th May, 2009

Thank goodness one of our masters of horrer returns in a desturbingly chilling non stop jump fest that does not give up.
I watched this film 5 hours ago and still recovering, and I'm the type of person that thought they were ready for anything a film can offer.
Sam Raimi plugs into the deep psyche of the mind without relying on anything too direct like Saw which, frankly got boring and predictable after the first film, or too watered down copycats of Halloween, e.g. teen flicks Scream or I know what you did last summer.
This is a return to Sam Raimi's old school horrer which I dare anyone to see and not be pushed to look behind their hands or laughing unexpectantly! If you see one film this year its this (and i hav'nt seen Terminater Salvation or Transformers 2 yet! They can't possibly even touch this).
I put it up their in a class of its own with Exorcist.
CLASSIC HORRER!!!!

Not bad

zoe1979 from , 10th March, 2010

I actually quite liked this film, there were some bits that made me jump and was a little scarey. What ruins this film is the comedy parts in it, I dont think comedy and horror go together so this ruined it for me. Overall a good film worth watching.

Is this supposed to be a spoof?

A Customer from Lodon, 9th March, 2010

I still cant believe that I wasted an hour and a half watching this. The storyline could have been written by a child and the acting was appalling.......

Terrible! (may contain spoilers)

A Customer from London, 9th March, 2010

This film was so, so bad, but could have been so much better as the premise for the story seemed really intriguing. The only reason I rate this film 1 star was because it did have a few jumpy moments, mostly in the first half. The film just bordered on the ridiculous throughout the second half and I spent most of it laughing (and not because it was funny, but because it was just so despairingly bad). The acting died in the second half too - 'I'm gonna get some' being about the worst bit, and a talking goat to boot. If you do want to see this film - just watch the trailer, all the best bits are in that.
