Bank employee becomes fatally cursed by gypsy as a result of rejecting, for opportunistic reasons, her request to postpone eviction

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2010)

I really liked this one by former Boy Wonder Sam. In the Netherlands it got some really good reviews in the so-called quality newspapers and I looked forward to seeing it. Once again Raimi succeeds in taking the genre not too seriously in an intelligent fashion. As such the comparison with 'Tales from the Crypt' is worth a second thought. Of course, that's just my fairly humble opinion. Even funnier, several times he ridicules the 'shockproofness' of certain strong (moral) convictions. Not too worry, at times DMtH is scary as well. I found the opening sequence not the most interesting part of the movie, but it served a purpose. Well worth a try!
