Running time: 98 mins. Director: Sam Raimi.

Director Sam Raimi whose name is synonymous with the Evil Dead series, returns to the horror genre after box-office success with Spider-Man and its high-flying sequels.

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) works in Los Angeles as a loans officer and is keen to impress her boss Mr Jacks (David Paymer), and perhaps gain promotion and a hefty pay rise.

So when the enigmatic Mrs Ganush (Lorna Raver) comes into the bank to beg for an extension to her home loan, Christine is torn: between giving the old lady more time and denying her request.

Christine opts for ruthless ambition and Ganush retaliates by placing a curse on the young woman and all around her, including handsome, professor boyfriend Clay Dalton (Justin Long).

As an evil spirit slowly drives Christine to the brink of insanity, she seeks spiritual guidance — but how far is she willing to go to reclaim her old life?
