All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Phoonk (2008)

Director: Ram Gopal Varma

Premise:
An architect finds out two associates are embezzling money from a building project. He publicly embarrasses them. To get revenge one of the associates, and seemingly crazy woman, uses black magic to curse the architect's family and put his daughter under a spell.

My Take:
An Indian spin on fairly familiar territory of curses and possession makes the movie watchable. The crazy woman's laugh will grate on your nerves.

Rating: In the middle
