Movie Gets a 4, Alison Gets a 9.

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2009)

I'm a horror aficianado, so I think I have a right to say that this story was run of the mill. BUT Alison Lohan was great. Thank God she's not cursed with too much beauty, or else we wouldn't take her acting seriously. And it's her acting that Raimi trusts when he gives her so many close-ups.
POSSIBLE SPOILER: There were too many useless scenes. What did that séance accomplish? Or the animal sacrifice? Neither did the job of getting rid of the curse, as we were led to believe they would. And the dinner with the boyfriend's family? What did that prove other than she seemed to be going crazy? And oh, after THAT boyfriend decides he'll propose? Yeah sure. Lots of gross-outs, but after a while, ho-hum.
But kudos for the "O Henry" ending.
