Horrifying, disgusting, and one Hell of a thrill ride

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2009)

I went into this movie expecting a somewhat intense supernatural horror movie. I had not seen Evil Dead, but after watching the Grudge, I thought I knew what to expect (Not a very good movie if you are wondering, really just a couple of silly scares. If you saw the grudge and had issues, I HIGHLY recommend avoiding this movie) Well, this movie took what I had expected and turned it on its head. From sacrificing a cat, to vomiting worms, spraying blood, and being doused in embalming fluid, many parts of the film were outright disgusting. The scares were also sometimes absolutely ridiculous. I would say the grudge had maybe 4 or 5 jump out scenes, whereas here I stopped counting. Around 15 or so people just left because it was too intense. However, a couple parts actually had me laughing, like when the goat became possessed it was hilarious, along with when Ms. Ganush attempted to gum Allison Lohman to death.
While, at some points, it could be predictable, as are many horror movies, this was a very fresh and unexpected trip to hell. I strongly recommend you avoid watching this if you are at all unsure about it. It is incredibly intense. It is now my favorite horror movies, but it is certainly not for the weak of heart. People go into this movie, thinking they can take it, and end up having to leave because it is too much. It is a good hour 40 minutes of pure adrenaline rush.
Another thing that I really found interesting in this movie was the fact that the reactions it got from the crowd were incredible. Everyone there was either completely into the movie, or outside waiting for it to finish. I do not think I have ever seen a movie that got a noise from the crowd every time something significant happened. It was almost like actors were planted in the crowd to elicit a response to the film.
Overall, I recommend it 100% if you think you have the balls. And if not, good luck with the nightmares :)
