Accordingly, when Jim leaves it up to Christine about whether to grant a third loan payment extension to elderly client Sylvia Ganush (LORNA RAVER), she makes her decision based on professional and not compassionate reasons. Mrs. Ganush begs for another chance, but then feels that Christine has publically shamed her. As a result, she attacks Christine in the parking lot late at night, putting an evil curse on her. Christine's boyfriend, psychology professor Clay Dalton (JUSTIN LONG), thinks the latter is just a bunch of hooey, but when weird things start happening, she decides to visit seer Rham Jas (DILEEP RAO).
He informs her that Ganush has unleashed a supernatural force, the Lamia, on her, and that after three days of poltergeist type hauntings, the demon will literally drag her down to Hell. With Clay still not believing any of this but trying to remain supportive, Christine does what she can to deal with the supernatural attacks, all while hoping to make amends with Ganush and/or remove that curse from herself before it's too late
Violence consists of an older woman and supernatural/demonic entities attacking various people, related fighting and struggling, and some characters being yanked down into Hell, while a kitten is killed off-screen as a desperate animal sacrifice. A woman dies from a supernatural encounter with a demon, while other deaths and bad injuries occur, but due to their supernatural connection, they turn out not to have occurred in reality. Some of that has bloody results, while other gross-out material is present in various scenes.
That violence, moments of potential peril, and other supernatural material and visuals might be unsettling, suspenseful and/or scary to viewers. Some of those scares and other behavior might be enticing for some kids to copy. Some drinking occurs in a few scenes and there's a comment about parents with alcohol problems, while various characters have bad attitudes.

For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, there's some of that from lightning.
For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there's rapid camera movement showing Christine being thrashed about in the air by an invisible force.
