A young loan officer at a bank refuses an extension on a mortgage and is then cursed by her client, an elderly woman. The young woman begins to experience strange hallucinations, and decides to consult with a seer.
Effective horror, with some virtuosic set-pieces. Some grostesque elements are a bit over-repetitive, though. The second half of the movie loses some steam as it pursues the supernatural premise to the last consequences, forgoing somewhat the humorous aspect which was strong in the first half. Some astute viewers noticed several hints pointing toward her hallucinations being caused by an eating disorder. Some people have pointed out similarities with Thinner (1996) and Night of the Demon (1957).
