her own home which she had lived for many years. Trying to impress her boss, Mr Jacks (David Paymer) and not wanting the Assistant Manager's position to be given to her sneeky rival, Stu Rubin (Reggie Lee), against her better judgement, she declined Mrs. Ganush plea.In retaliation, that night Christine was violently attacked by Mrs. Ganush. After much struggle, Mrs. Ganush had removed a button from Christine's jacket and placed a powerful Lamia curse on it before returning it to Christine and disappeared. After which, Christine's life started to turn into a living hell and she turned to her sceptic boyfriend, Clay Dalton (Justin Long); a fortune teller, Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) and a seer, Shaun San Dena (Adriana Barraza) for help.
Christine tried to do the next best thing which was to apologise to Mrs Ganush and give her the loan extension, only to find that the gypsy lady had just passed away.
SHE HAS 3 DAYS TO SAVE HERSELF OR HER SOUL WILL BE DRAGGED TO HELL !!
Personal comments: Unlike any other horror/thrillers which tend to drag the storyline just to make up for time, this movie was shot and shown with every minute has its own horrific climacs. The best part was the dark humours in this movie did nothing to spoil the suspense momentums that it had going in you throughout from the beginning till the end. Even the goofy character of the sceptic yet loving boyfriend, Clay Dalton, too was not written overboard and make you love him for his supportive and understanding role.
**A recommended and must see movie for those who loves horror and thriller movies! **
