Overrated and predictable

Rating: 4/10 (11 October 2009)

This movie doesn't deserve 7.5 rating on IMDb. It has it's moments - kinda scary at the beginning and some parts were pretty funny, but it failed in too many departments to be called actually good. f.e. that scene in the funeral, where corpse drops on her, it was so over the top stupid, or that part with demon starting to dance - they are trying to represent him like that unstoppable scary force, but when it actually shows itself it's totally lame. Or that medium dieing after replenishing the spirit - it's like "I did, I did it...ugh, I dead", I mean - so anticlimactic, and it's the main problem I have with this movie - I can't understand what it's trying to be - scary, funny, "heavy" - what? It's like a weird mix. It can't be a black comedy, but it can't be a truth horror movie also. The next main problem I have would be predictability - if you have some brain in your head you could totally call almost every event in this movie. f.e. you could tell what she'll kill her kitty first time the sacrifice was mentioned. Or that giving the envelop with a coin in it to her boyfriend thing - I almost could here the plot-point dropping there, so when it came to that part of her losing it in the car I could tell how everything gonna end, so all that drag of her going to the graveyard was totally anticlimactic - like "oh I know it's the wrong one, just show the ending - it's getting boring." So, yeah, not a great movie - it has it's parts but too few for a 7.5 I would give it a 4 max.
