Very well written, but based on an age-old genre

Rating: 7/10 (23 October 2009)

Don't worry, I'll make my negative comment (just one) quick and painless -- This is another "someone ticks off an old gypsy, gypsy curses the person, the person suffers tremendously, the person tries the whole movie to undo the curse" story. Aside from that, it held my interest and the acting was quite compelling. This is a movie where you're left to wonder...is any of this real, or could all of it just be psychological suggestion? Do we need to believe in curses for them to be real, and if so, do things truly happen due to a curse, or because we talk ourselves into thinking something bad will happen. As you'll see in this movie, nothing bad happens until the cursed individual believes they have a reason to think something will happen. The ending is the best part because it leaves you to wonder -- "Is what I just 'saw' what really happened, or is it just what happened coming from the mind of the one who was 'cursed'?" I definitely recommend this one for all horror fans, it will really make you think! 7/10 (lost 1 point for using a clichéd story line)
