7/10
Risky and raw

This horror film is very well made. It is a new age Gothic story horror that redoes an idea that has been toyed with in many many movies over the years. This time, though, Director Nick McCarthy decided to really wring out the rag of provocative horror ideas. This movie has a thick storyline, and I really like how the movie opened the way it did. The idea explored here is that a young girl sold her soul to the Devil in order to make some quick cash. She clearly had to be the type of girl who feels that she has very little to live for, because come on, who would actually agree to do such a thing. I could see it being a joke, but when there's a $500 reward for doing it, it starts to get a little sketchy. This girl was portrayed as a poor girl who doesn't seem to have any parents. The Director of this movie also directed "The Pact" which is a little bit similar to this movie. There is a pact made between two people in both films, and the characters get whipped and flung around by a ghostly entity in both films. I really like McCarthy's style and I advise you all to check this movie out. It's terrifying!
