A horror-movie about an over 300 year curse that leads to an inferno of disappearances, bloody murderers and exorcism. Very frightening and violent, especially in the beginning when one guy is cut in half and the other one's head is placed in a microwave-oven until it explodes. Effective & cruel.
******** [8 out of 10]
