A nicely made film with a well written script. The Monkey's Paw part of the story doesn't kick in until the final third. However, up to this point we've been treated to some well rounded characters and an intelligent story about the dangers of lending money, even to family members, and the price you pay for trying to recoup your losses.
The film features some eerily atmospheric seance scenes leading up to the anticipated entrance of the Devil himself. The monkey's paw, when it finally arrives, is replaced by a disembodied human hand, adding a macabre gruesomeness to the finale. | Loving yr new avatar Dem btw
