How has this film been rated so highly?!

Rating: 2/10 (21 January 2013)

Firstly, I want to say that I actually can't understand the high rating that this movie has been given. When I saw the 83 metacritic score I thought 'yes! this movie is going to be awesome...' and sat back with my glass of wine ready to be terrified. It didn't happen. Not once.
Now, I understand that this film is supposed to be a horror/comedy...but to me it fails to be either or both combined. At no point is this film scary, in fact, the music and the amount of stuff that ends up in Christine's mouth (embalming fluid, eyeballs, a fist) mean that actually it's quite ridiculous. And what is up with an old lady 'gummimg' someones chin?! Unfortunately I think the film lost me at that point, and it's pretty close to the beginning.
Nor is the film funny. I laughed a couple of times while turning around to my friend and saying 'seriously, what the hell is up with this film?', more in confusion than anything else. The whole things strikes me as really lame...something that kids would think up for a school play.
Something else, and actually probably the biggest fault of the film, are the characters. The reason behind Christine being cursed is stupid, and actually she is so whiny and pathetic that I didn't actually care if she got dragged to hell. In fact, I wish it had happened sooner.
