Look, Ma! Two Heads!
The movie is amazing, basically I hate CGI heavy movies that rely on jump scares, but this is by far the best CGI heavy movie that relies on jump scares that I have ever seen. Every few minutes you are assaulted by some inventive and terrifying imagery that makes you cringe.

When a lending assistant for a bank denies an extension on a loan for a poor gypsy woman just impress her boss, she ends up the victim of an ancient gypsy curse. After that her life is a complete nightmare, constantly finding herself slapped around by spirits and attacked by horrible images. The movie is PG13 but somehow it is very scary, gross and incredibly funny… we were screaming and laughing like teenagers the whole movie.

Has anyone else seen it?

Yeah, I forgot to mention this is Sam Raimi from Evil Dead, Army of Darkness and Spider-man, so he loves working comedy into everything he does. What I found really funny was going to rotten tomatoes and seeing that a few critics missed the point entirely, complaining that it was "unintentionally funny", which is like saying a Jackie Chan movie was not serious enough. Only a small minority of critics are dense enough to miss the point entirely, but on Rotten Tomatoes they stick out.
 
hope you like it... it is not nearly as violent or weird as the Evil Dead movies but it finds a lot of ways to make up for it, mostly by amping the shocks (sudden scares) all the way. What this movie does well is that if you expect a monster to come out of the closet, it smashes through the ceiling instead. Like you always know something bad is going to happen, but it always ends up being a lot crazier than you expected. Also there is an amazing fight scene inside a car that should crack you up.
 
Hmm, the movie doesn't sound bad but I hate the part in which the main character apparently sacrifices her kitten.
Reality or acting, I hate it when cats become the victim.
 
What's wrong with sacrificing a kitten? I personally wish Hollywood wouldn't bow down to the overzealous liberals, I screamed like a girl in delight when in newest exorcist, where the kid gets eaten by hyenas.

I've seen commercials and trailers, I think I might give it a go.

you dont mind demon possession death and curses, but when kittens get harmed, that crosses the line.

Yep, plenty of humans to go around ;)

Well what do you expect people, I am a major cat lover, seeing pets get hurt is something I don't like.

Some people have them in their back yard (I got hooked on free range eggs in West Virginia) and here in Boston I can easily get one in Chinatown or in this place:

Still I can picture somebody going into a pet store:

"Do you have any pets that are cheap, noble enough to have a decent sized soul but wont fight back too much?"
 
I guess they would suggest a visit to a hispotal if you tell them its for a voodoo ceremony !
 
I may see the movie, sounds okay.

The thing that annoys me is horror movies just aren't scary anymore. Like nowadays every comedy has to be R to be funny when it shouldn't have to be, and every horror movie ends up being PG-13 to try and pull a few more viewers.

That or every damn horror movie has to be a gore fetish flick or soft-core porn. What happened to just making a scary movie, I've seen enough friggin torture porn and I'm tired of horror movies requiring boobs to have anyone like it.

It's retarded, one movie that still messes with me is The Exorcist, the original Exorcist. I've seen all the little Exorcism of whoever in wherever, and I saw all the Exorcist the blah blah blah sequels and prequels. Not one of them scared me in the slightest, yet the original one still just creeps the ever-loving hell out of me.

Now honestly, with all these "amazing" actors and all the effects and things like that we have now, why can't we make a movie that's really scary anymore?
