Great Title

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2010)

Christine (Alison Lohman) rejects a creepy old gypsy woman for an extension on her payments for her house, thus evicting her. The gypsy woman magically retaliates and Christine must find a way to avoid being dragged to...
I don't watch much horror, but the great title got me and the word was the Sam Raimi had left behind the stodginess of Spiderman3. In terms of plot it's all pretty straight-forward stuff, but the film was spoilt for me by Alison Lohman's patchy performance. She's fine in non-horror sequences, and even does scared well sometimes, but often her reactions just don't seem convincing. If you were trapped under a dead body with embalming fluid being vomited down your throat, you might seem a bit more distraught when you finally escaped, But Christine's hair is more ruffled than she is.
The horror isn't bad, but is isn't until near the end that the movie starts to become a lot more fun.
