Terrible

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2010)

Cheap scares, Swiss cheese plot. I really can't say anything good about this movie. The jokes were not funny, the acting was though. Why does every curse movie never address the fact that if these gypsy people could throw curses around willy nilly they wouldn't need bank loans as they could easily hold the world to ransom?
This doesn't even fall closely into the category of black comedy, because after the first hour and a half I was bored to tears. Utterly ridiculous gross out moments don't make a film good, good script and plot design do. I gave this a 2 being generous. I have no idea how this film has managed to hit 7.2 on the IMDb score. I can only imagine that the majority of people voting are as unhappy as me with the calibre of horror that has been available over the last few years and got a bit itchy with their rating trigger.
If you want my advice then stop watching American horrors. The big budgets destroy any feel of real horror that remains in a story. CGI has ruined the world of film with super graphical scenes. The films that really do scare; such as The Wicker Man (1973) and Psycho (1960) didn't have so much as a dancing puppet, and yet still terrify me if I watch them today.
I believe there needs to be an overhaul when it comes to the horror genre, because if crap like this is passing the threshold at the end of first decade of the non-believing millennium, then we are in serious trouble for what the future has to offer.
