Stu Rubins is truly an evil persona and would deserve Sam Raimi's hell. But he is let off with a slap on the wrist in the film. Perhaps SR is a misogynist with his numerous references to Christine as a whore and a bitch. BTW, what's up with that foul Lamia who gets righteously indignant at the seance when forced into the goat. Calling Ms. Brown a black-hearted whore and a bitch is so hilarious; being the personification of evil, one would have thought that the beast would admire such deception. SR must be a puritan in the vein of the Plymouth Rockers. He would have been the first to cast a stone at an adulterer or put a scarlet letter "A" on a "transgressor." I have an idea for a sequel- have the lamia drag SR out of his high-horsed director's chair back into hell with Sylvia Ganush.

And if her gypsy family is so loyal, why didn't they help pay for it? Or are we just supposed to be given things because they are "ours"? In reality the old lady was nuts and Christine and her boss are out of line by just "winging" the decision to kick her out. I'm pretty sure there's a "collection and recovery" department that helps with that and the actions would be in compliance with Fail Lending regulations. The "right" thing to do would be to refer Mrs. Ganush to a department that assists with payment problems, most banks have these, being that she was on time for all these years, and probably has equity in the home they could have worked something out. But to assume that it's "your house" because you reside there when someone else owns the deed just isn't right. I rent. If I don't pay rent, guess what? And I don't blame anyone for it. Last of all. If you send someone to hell (multiple people), then where do you think you're going to go when you die? Jesus is going to be like "Thank you Mrs. Ganush for all your hard work." meewwww I don't think so.

I mean, sending a BOY to HELL for ETERNITY because he stole a poor necklace ? WTF ?!! Christine's case is already so much absurd, but the boy's is delirious. I personally think that the gypsies are even more than the bad dudes in that film, and I disagree on the fact that they deserve to go to hell (in fact they do) because they're already DEMONS out there. The reasons they torment people and send them to hell are even more stupid than the reason for the girl's possession by Pazuzu in the Exorcist. Besides they also curse people that offended them personally, so there's no kind of justice to explain what they do, they're just the evil brain commanding at lesser powers in hell (in that case, Lamia). Leading a demon to come and get someone's soul before their death is what we can call pure evil, even more evil than the demon itself.

But they can't do it alone. Nope. To win, they'll need to track down someone with experience of this sort of thing. Someone who's ready for their final battle against the undead - Ash! :) This movie begs for a sequel, where the boyfriend and fortune teller join forces to drag Alison's character back out of hell.

More importantly, being a victim doesn't justify evil acts--like attacking someone in a parking lot or sending them to Hell. In fact, NO ONE deserves to be tortured for eternity; Hell is logically absurd because we are only here a finite time and can only commit finite evil acts, therefore, the idea of being punished eternally is not justice (justice being balance). No, the gypsy woman WAS evil. Anyone that condemns someone to eternal torture is evil. I'm not making excuses for Christine either: kicking the gypsy woman out of her house was wrong, in my view. But that's nothing compared to what Ganesh did. Even Hitler didn't torture his victims forever. While I'd agree that the gypsy woman was A victim, she wasn't THE victim.

I can't think of anyone that deserves to be tortured for an eternity, even someone like Bin Laden. Sure, he should go to jail, and I wouldn't care if tomorrow he got killed by a bomb.... but being tortured forever? Seriously SR, wtf. I agree, I like the movie but what SR said is absurd.

If I did 10000 good deeds but made one wrong mistake at the wrong time I deserve to go to hell? Its not that bad if I killed a cat because I was pushed to a breaking point and get haunted by a demon TWICE. Put yourself in Christine's shoes, wouldn't you have done the same? Someone who has the power to curse someone to go to hell cant pay the house bills. No, the old lady is definitely the villian - I cant agree that just because Christine didnt give the old lady an extension (after all, its a temporary solution to the problem. How long do you want to keep having loan extensions? The bank isnt a charity service. Besides, she could have stayed with her granddaughter but she was obstinate.) she deserved to get assaulted in her car, haunted by a demon, pay $10,000 for nothing, haunted by the old lady's spirit, and finally go to hell. SR needs to look at himself for this. If anything, the fact that the old gypsy is a VICTIM is simply ridiculous. If you ask me, cursing someone to eternal damnation just because she made the wrong mistake at the wrong time is simply absurd. The old gypsy is the one who deserves to go to hell. BECAUSE NO ONE DESERVES TO GO TO HELL FOR MAKING THE WRONG MISTAKE AT THE WRONG TIME. PERIOD. P.S. SR, your movie taught me 3 things. 1: Never offend gypsies. 2: I deserve to go to hell for killing my cat AFTER someone cursed me to go to hell EVEN IF I DON'T kill my cat. 3: Someone who curses people to eternal damnation for not giving her a loan extension and because the person beat her in a fair fight doesn't deserve to go to hell - and is instead the real "victim". 2 Words. You Fail. Thats absurd – doing one bad thing in a lifetime doesnt make you a bad person. If I did 10000 good deeds but made one wrong mistake at the wrong time I deserve to go to hell?
