Sam, Thanks for the bundle of Laughs, It's Hilarious! BTW: keep a trash can near ya so that you have something to vomit in. Watch the movie and judge it for yourself. I would not want to have to set through it again and I have a 27 yr old and 25 yr old and a 22 yr old that agree with me, that this is one sickening movie. The end will startle you and make you wonder about a few things. The girl starts seeing things, (and for the love of goodness if you have a week stomach, don't watch the movie). The girl goes to the old womans house the old woman is dead. She talks to a professor like guy about taking the "Curse" off her. The young girl was having an important dinner with her boyfriend's parents and she see's the creature coming after her there. Then this crazy looking creature starts coming after the young girl. Not sure, but I kinda believe that could happen. Fighting so hard that the old womans false teeth fall's out (and she has time in the middle of a fight to put them back in) now as if that wasn't bad enough, the old woman is fast enough to rip off the young ladies coat button and cast a spell on the younger woman.
if you like scary looking old people, mean energetic young people trying to move up in the company by doing whatever it takes (even taking an old woman's home, just because you can, or an amazing fight seen between an 80 yr old woman and someone in there 30's. As it was, she opened her mouth once too often so I gave it a 4. As for me, I wanted to tell Christine to keep her mouth shut and maybe this would have been one of the best, most intelligent horror films I've ever seen. If your idea of horror is watching an old hag jam her arm down a screaming girl's throat, this oral fixation might actually enhance the horror aspects.
Since this was repeated again and again, everyone watching the film with me began commenting on it and cracking jokes - GAG ME TO HELL, etc - and the gross scenes began to overpower the truly scary ones. When she opened her mouth to scream, it always led to something gross spewing into or out of her mouth: blood, mucous, bugs, body parts.
However, I had to take a point off because of Chris tine's unfortunate tendency to scream at the exact wrong moment. Christine must not have watched that movie). (If we horror fans have learned nothing else from Stephen King's THINNER, we've learned not to piss off an ancient gypsy. I liked Christine, I liked her boyfriend, and I liked their working together to break the curse put on Christine by an old gypsy hag. Like Naomi Watts in THE RING, Lohman was pretty without looking like a porn star she took responsibility for her actions and had to make some difficult moral choices and she actively investigated the mysterious happenings rather than sit back and be victimized. The heroine, Christine (Alison Lohman) is the type of strong female character you don't often see in horror films. I was tempted to give this movie a 5, for the following reasons. Fans will get a kick out of seeing her inexplicably leave her gob agape as putrid projectiles pour in, and hearing her, after a bit of pushing, spout a Campbell-ism or two ("I’m gonna get me some!"). While it may come as a minor shock that Bruce Campbell, the beloved mouthpiece of the EVIL DEAD franchise, is nowhere to be found in this unabashed horror-comedy, Christine is an excellent twist on Raimi's genre-hero archetype. Similar to HBO’s classic TALES FROM THE CRYPT series, HELL feels like a living, breathing EC comic. The next three days of Christine’s life amount to an unimaginable endurance test in which she is subject to physical and psychological torture while a terrifying demon draws ever closer to take her to hell, where she would burn for eternity.Raimi manages to keep the feverish awfulness of DRAG ME's central concept palpable while layering on his distinctly disturbing and exhilaratingly kinetic macabre-meets-slapstick portraiture, and the result is an efficient celebration of the art of horror movies that’s campy, scary, and fun. Ganush (Lorna Raver) seems to be the only way to secure an important promotion, Christine pushes her moral flexibility about as far as it can go (not very far at all) only to dearly pay the price as the recipient of a rather nasty curse. When evicting a vile and negligent old woman named Mrs. Alison Lohman stars as Christine Brown, a soft-spoken Southern girl with a good heart, a PhD-toting boyfriend (Justin Long), and a job as a loan officer at a bank just outside of Los Angeles.
