This movie made me jump. It blatantly telegraphed that it was going to make me jump and still managed to make me jump. I believe that says something about Sam Raimi’s skills as a writer/director as he obviously knows his genre very well and is willing to have a lot of fun with the audience while still making what will likely be this years best (and scariest) horror movie.
The story is a simple setup. A cute young Southern girl who wants to make something out of her life gets cursed by a gypsy woman and an evil demon begins stalking her. She finds out that at the end of this curse she will be dragged to hell by this demon so she does everything she can to try and stop it.
The acting is perfect for this sort of thing that is able to walk that line between B movie and so bad it’s good movie. The setups are obvious and at times you don’t know whether to laugh or jump, but every minute of it is great for what it is. An anvil gets dropped on someone’s head, there’s a battle between the lead actress and a corpse, and there’s a scary invisible demon who actually is scary every time it appears. This movie is worth seeing. You will have a lot of fun watching it.
