So laughable its scary...

Rating: 4/10 (3 November 2009)

From the beginning I had low expectations for this film, but I saw it at Wal-Mart for $13 so I figured, hey, just another for the collection.
Te beginning was a bit odd and was not played very well at all. A kid spinning in circles trying to act like the floor is breaking up just doesn't seem to work... As hes attempting this he seems very confused. The acting in this movie could use some serious work.
The comedy aspect of the film was so-so. There were only two parts I let out a genuine laugh because of the comedic scenes, and those were as follows; The part where the hag is in the car, loses her teeth and tries to gnaw on Christines face like a toothless zombie... I thought this was funny because I have a running inside joke about toothless zombies, so this may not count. The second part I found pretty humorous was the scene with the possessed goat keeper dancing a jig while floating in the air... Pretty funny. The rest of the humor was either dry, elementary or disgusting. Christines run-ins with Stu? I could let those slide... Christine vomiting blood, then holding her mouth shut only to have it jet out her nose? Sounds a bit like a 3rd graders comic strip, albeit a bit questionable in that case. The anvil that fell on the hags head and made her face explode onto Christine and inside her mouth? Disgusting, just like everything else that goes into her mouth in this movie. This includes, but isn't limited to, flies, living vomit, dead vomit, blood, eyeballs and mud. I wont comment on it, but there are two scenes where the hag and Christine suck faces... its kind of gross.
The horror side of the movie is nearly devoid... I was never frightened or on edge through the entire film. I was bored. I will not accept that it is because its PG-13 because I have seen some very good PG-13 horror films.
One thing I never realized is how Christine lived to be dragged to hell... When she was shoving the coin in the dead hags mouth and it filled with water, it was clearly night or early morning. She was knocked unconscious by a fallen tombstone and she goes under... When she comes from beneath the surface the sky is clearly lit with light. Its fairly obvious at LEAST one hour has passed.
This is nothing like Evil Dead... Its an attempt, but a failed one.
