This movie is light on gore, but heavy on disgust and scares. Not to meantion it is quite humorous, which suprisingly works well.

I think the PG-13 rating was mostly reasonable for the content; the film is violent at times, but it's pretty cheesy in the special effects department; there's more flat-out gross scenes than scary/gory scenes. The CS content panel is fairly on par, though I would put a little more emphasis on the whole animal sacrifice bit (we're not talking chicken, we're talking kitten; I know some kids wouldn't linger on it, but this would have disturbed my younger brother a lot); in the bit where the anvil (?) hits the woman in the head, one of her eyes is knocked into the main character's mouth (graphics are cheesy, but still); and for anyone who's squeamish: the old woman has a few needlessly drawn-out, slimy scenes involving her teeth falling out and proceeding to try and gum the main character to death. As to the story, it's vague and incomplete, and doesn't seem to have any particular direction; the ending is equally predictable and bland. As a Sam Raimi fan, I was extremely disappointed in this movie; I'd only recommend it to those who want a horror film to laugh at. ... if I had absolutely nothing else to recommend...

This movie isn't particularly scary, it just has loads of jumpy parts. The thing that makes it potent is because Sam is such a good director he can hold it off and make it really suspenseful. You know something is going to happen -- you know you're going to jump, but you don't know when! That makes it one of those movies where you have to know your kid. If they are easily scared, do NOT let them go! The movie was great, I thought it was hilarious as well as scary. My friends loved it too. Only reason I marked role models as bad is because Christine tries to give the curse to someone else rather than accepting responsibility for her mistakes.

For the parents who don't like evil violence, it's a no...no... there are a lot of images resembling satan which frightens me. But I think that is what makes it scarier. BEWARE: Of "jumpy" scenes. WARNING: It could cause nightmares!!

This movie was pretty good, but not great. It had its funny moments, but definitely was not scary. I would think anyone under 13 would be terrified, as some scenes go over board. I don't think anyone under 13 should see any kind of horror movie unless it's pathetically tame. This one is just a fun watch, and Alison is a terrific actress! Good watch if you like creepy/comedy type of horrors. 3.5 stars out of 5!

Funny how gore or scare isnt an option to push for 'what concerned you'. But I know my 13 year old isnt ready for a movie like this. He thinks he's ready for scary movies but its the 'jump out' scenes he doesnt handle well. (and quite frankly there were a few gross moments where my gag reflex was pulled) lol. My husband and I really liked it though. I hate reading anything that will give parts away so all I can say is if you enjoy movies like 'House', Evil Dead', etc. You'll really like this.
