A giggle and a jump!

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2010)

I first saw this film when it was first released in the cinema back in 2009. Not really knowing what the film was about to begin with, I didn't really know how to take the mix of horror and humour, so I left the cinema in quite a confused state. However, after watching it a second time round, I enjoyed it MORE than i did the first time.
Yes, some settings, such as the graveyard scene are set incredibly clichéd, but I did like the originality of the script. The lead, Alison Long, really didn't float my boat but I don't particularly like her as an actress anyway. The gypsy woman I found very scary, even just to look at!
Being an incredibly big horror buff, I actually enjoyed this film a lot and thought it was a refreshing change to see something other than "slash, sex, teen dead": the vicious cycle that is constantly being regurgitated on our screens at the moment. Focusing on a more sinister demon character which is causing the havoc is REALLY what sets the scary tone to this film, as fear of not being able to control what is going to happen and not being able to fight it is what makes me even it scarier.
If you like gore, suspense and a bit of something different, then this one is for you!
