![]() ![]() Either way, you don’t want to run into them. They are also sometimes viewed as a vampire. I won’t get into the fairly unpleasant aspects of Lamia-lore, but if you have a strong stomach and/or haven’t yet had breakfast, you can visit your friends at Wikipedia for it. SIDE NOTE: The Lamia has a long and historically rich background as a monster. Seems the boy’s sticky fingers stealing from a Gypsy have him on a one way ticket to Hell, escorted by your friendly host, the Lamia. Now hold up a minute, before we even meet Christine, the movie opens with a dramatic scene in which a hispanic couple seek the help of a medium to save their son from a Gypsy curse. She becomes obsessed with getting the promotion, feeling it will be the key to making more money and having a station in life that will impress Mr. This is exacerbated by the fact that he overhears his mother telling him about “that nice girl” she had envisioned for him who would know which spoon is for the escargot at the Country Club.Ĭhristine is eager to make something happen in her life. She’s dating a very sweet guy, Clay, who happens to come from money and an upper class family which intimidates her and makes her feel he’s out of her league, even if he is played by Justin Long. She’s pretty, but not in a glamorous, in your face stunning. She’s in a boring mid-level bank job, hoping and praying to get a promotion, but her cut-throat coworker works the “boys club” angle, getting the boss tickets to The Big Game etc. She’s sort of “in the middle” on every scale. What the two movies have in common is they are both awesome and both so over the top graphically horrific that you find yourself bordering on hysterical laughter while screaming. In fact, when my youngest child was a baby, I spent many early morning feedings with it on to pass the time. I actually love Evil Dead, which should come as a surprise to no one. Have you seen the Evil Dead? If you haven’t, and you are of the faint of heart, I do not recommend it. But given it is written and directed by Sam Raimi, I would expect nothing less.
