The supernatural horror follows the unenviable circumstances of Christine Brown, cursed by a mysterious woman after Brown denies her a bank loan. This does not sound great to begin with, but it gets infinitely worse - Christine is to be subjected to all manner of supernatural torment for a period of three days, before being dragged off to Hell for an eternity of suffering and damnation.

The mysterious Romani lady, Sylvia Ganush, sets off proceedings by cursing a button she rips from Christine's coat in the film's early goings. After a nightmarish series of events, Christine believes she has found the way to lift the curse; digging up the now deceased Ganush and cramming an envelope into her mouth. That's one way to do it!

Unfortunately for our endlessly misfortunate protagonist, the film's final sequence sees Christine realize that she has delivered the wrong envelope after Justin Long's Clay hands her one that he found in his car. As such, the chilling twist reveals the curse was never lifted, and time is up. Christine has just enough to time to scream in horror before a nightmarish chasm appears in the earth, and she is dragged into the bloodcurdling depths by a sea of gruesome looking demons.

It's an iconic sequence and a worthy ending to one of the 2000s finest horror offerings.
