Raimi's back

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2011)

I'm not sure why so many people hated this movie so much. I liked it. It was different and fun. Alison Lohman plays Christine Brown who is a loan officer at a bank. She's vying for a promotion to assistant manager against a very determined office colleague. She thinks the boss will favor her more if she shows some backbone and refuses a poor old woman an extension on a loan. The woman, Mrs Ganush, faces loss of her home immediately.
The woman begs her and even attacks her, but Christine is unyielding. In revenge the old woman puts a curse on Brown to be taken to hell in a few days. She tries to get rid of the curse, but it's not as easy as it would seem. Raimi goes back to his Evil Dead credentials on this one combining black comedy and real scares for a funfest only Raimi could deliver. So forget the naysayers and check it out if you haven't already.
