Horror, humour and hell in Raimi's devilish new movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2009)

Sweep aside all those Japanese psychological horrors, the torture porn and the 3-D specialities, and lets get back to basics. Sam Raimi takes a side-step and has brought us this wonderful little flick.
Our heroine Christine Brown is a loans manager cursed by an old gypsy lady she refused to extend a loan out to further. Cue devilish goings on as our lead lady tries to exorcise the curse to little avail.
As a horror movie it will make you jump, but really it's a bit of gross out comedy as well (watch out for the fly sequence!). You will laugh and yelp in equal measure.
Keeps you more than entertained for the duration, and at heart it's a nice old fashioned popcorn horror movie that has been forgotten about of late. No classic but a good ride along the way.
