[http://www.greencine.com/character?pid=8244]Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots with this gleefully scary funhouse ride about a young woman trying to escape a gypsy curse. "Unlike so much contemporary horror, it's devoid of sadism and mean-spiritedness," writes Stephanie Zacharek in Salon. "The looseness Raimi allows himself here results in an especially joyous kind of filmmaking." Writes Scott Tobias, Raimi "wants viewers to jump out of their chairs, to laugh and scream and cheer, and to nudge each other over the transcendent ridiculousness of what they’re witnessing. This is junk filmmaking at its finest." It is "manna from hell," adds David Edelstein.
