Sam Raimi underestimated

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2016)

I started reading a couple of pages of the screenplay before I watched this film. What I read was disappointing. The movie was also. I couldn't figure out what this movie was, it wasn't scary, funny, or thrilling. Couldn't put my finger on it. This is basic cursed story that doesn't add anything new or exciting to the genre. At times very predictable, we all remember the scene where she dropped the envelope in the car, what a random accident wouldn't ya say? It felt mechanical with no unique take on a story told before. I think why this movie failed was because the script was crap in the first place. I remember a lot of unnecessary crap in the opening pages,like saving a cat from being run over, which adds nothing to the story except the fact that she "Saved the Cat" Could it get less original?
