Part 3/8:
The Catalyst: A Decision with Dire Consequences
Christine’s decision to deny Mrs. Ganush her request leads to a dramatic confrontation. Humiliated and furious, the old woman curses Christine and instills a Lamia curse on a button from Christine's coat. This moment marks the turning point of the film; Christine’s kind-heartedness morphs into a curse that unleashes a malevolent spirit determined to claim her soul.
Even as she tries to rationalize the encounter and goes about her regular life, strange occurrences begin to haunt Christine—each event escalating in terror. The haunting culminates in horrifying encounters, where she confronts manifestations of the curse and bizarre supernatural phenomena.
