I like some of Frank Peretti's books (such as "This Present Darkness" and "Piercing the Darkness"). I had never read "Hangman's Curse" so wasn't quite sure what to expect, but since his other books were good, I thought this would be okay, too. I wasn't really expecting much, but I at least hoped it was a clean film. It doesn't sink as low as some movies, but for a Christian movie, I was expecting or hoping for better. Maybe most wouldn't see anything morally wrong with this movie, but the clothing--even of the Christian girl--were immodest. Even after the girl was out of her undercover work, she wore a dress with a low neckline, making me ashamed to be watching--at least that my brother was watching it with me. There were even a couple of uses of "hell" in an inappropriate way. Not only the clothing was worldly, however--so was some of the music and the attitudes. Christians lying to each other, etc. I know Christians aren't perfect, but this does not set a good example, and I was extremely disappointed in this movie!
Now for the storyline. That was weak, as well. Spiders overtaking a school? Hmm. And there was no spelling out of how bad the occult practices are, as there seem to be in most of Frank Peretti's books.
I'm kind of surprised Frank Peretti would approve of this film, much less act in it. His part, while slightly funny, was a little stupid, too, sorry to say (I guess he intended it that way).
My brother and I bought the movie on sale, but I'm sorry we did.
