Cursed by a PG-13 Certificate.

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2009)

This movie is about a Gypsy curse. An old hag decides to curse Christine Brown for not offering up an extension on her mortgage. Chritine is after a promotion that a colleague who is said by the boss Mr Jacks, to have 'an aggressive edge about him'. The movie however has a short prologue which is about a young boy who stole a Gypsy necklace and has the same curse as Chrisine put on him.
This movie has some great visual flourishes. There are many jumpy scenes. It is also quite schlocky however, with puke scenes and one scene where Chritine has a bloody nose and sprays it all over her boss. The movie goes for comic thrills. Mixing horror with comedy, much like The Evil Dead movies. Is this a return to form for Raimi? Not quite. It does not have the adult humour of the Evil Dead films. It does try however but the Raimi brothers opting for a more universal audience with, perhaps his new found Spider Man clientèle following his moves, makes for less in the way of genuine horror. The film is very enjoyable though. It is a somewhat light hearted horror. Or is that light weight? You be the judge.
