Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, and Dileep Rao
Synopsis: Christine Brown is responsible for loans in a bank and expects to be promoted to the open position of assistant manager after dealing a big contract. However, the new hire Stu Rubin is a collusive coworker that scheming against Christine to be selected by the manager Mr. Jacks to the position. When Mrs. Ganush, an old gypsy with appearance of witch that has been evicted by the bank, requests a third extension of her mortgage, Mr. Jacks tells Christine that it is her call. Christine denies the loan to prove her boss that she can take tough decisions. Mrs. Ganush begs for the loan but Christine shames the woman calling the security. In the night, Christine is stalked by Mrs. Ganush in the parking lot and they struggle. Out of the blue, Mrs, Ganush removes a button from Christine's coat, curses it, returns the button to her and vanishes. Later, while going home with her psychologist boy-friend Clay Dalton, they pass by the fortune teller Rham Jas, and Christine decides to consult him. He advises her that Christine has the fiend Lamia, the Black Goat, upon her. When Christine is haunted by the dark spirit during the night, at home, she tries to fix the situation releasing the loan of Mrs. Ganush.

Touted as a return to Sam Raimi's horror-movie roots, Drag Me to Hell is indeed closer in spirit to the director's Evil Dead pictures than to his Spider-Man films. You got your gypsy gargoyles with rotted dentures, your upchucking corpses, your flexible two-way orifices--yes, Raimi's definitely back in the saddle. There's even a story: a sad loan officer (Alison Lohman) turns down the aforementioned denture-wearing gypsy for a loan extension, which leads to an evil curse and a date in hell in three days' time. A séance, an animal sacrifice, and a session in a storm-tossed graveyard will make the 72 hours pass very nervously, thank you, along with assorted scares. Justin Long plays Lohman's upper-class boyfriend, and Raimi fills the rest of the cast with some unusual and unfamiliar types. Along with the giddy horror-comedy that bursts out of the movie every 10 minutes or so, there's also an underlying mood of pity: Lohman's character is something of a hard-luck sad sack, who does enough wrong things to make her seem like a truly abject individual, well outside the heroic model of most multiplex offerings. (Lohman's own little-girl-lost quality adds to this feeling.) But don't let that get in the way of the fun-ride aspects of this goofy enterprise: Drag Me to Hell is a bunch of Z-movie gags wrapped in top-drawer production values. --Robert Horton

 Better than Expected November 20, 2009
Veronica M. Davis (South Euclid, OH USA)
Great movie. I was not expecting much, thus I was really shocked during the car fight with the Gyspy woman from the bank. Goodness! The rest of the movie was also entertaining, right up to the very end too.

It started off fun and scary and then got worse. When the goat started talking I was like really?? OK I hate this movie.
 Not as good as I had hoped November 16, 2009

I love good horror films. This was one is just OK. Special effects seem a bit heavy handed and cheesy.
Story is good but wanders and I never really cared what happened to the main characters. Some good shock moments and all-in-all fun to watch. Just not what I thought it would be.
Disgusting crap November 16, 2009

This movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. And I LOVE horror movies. It started out great...and i had high expectations. But very shortly, the main character showed herself to be unlikeable, stupid and two dimensional. This movie was less gory than oozy, wormy and just gross, and not in the good way. It had some decent special effects, I will give it that. But by the end, my boyfriend and I were yelling at the tv..."Just drag her to hell!! We dont care anymore!!"

The main reason I choose to watch a scary movie is to, well, actually, get scared! For some reason I was under the impression this movie was going to be scary. At least make me jump. Although Sam Raimi certainly has mastered the technique for grossing out his audience, I would like to know who out there older than five years old actually felt scared? The best term to describe this movie: Hokey. Alison Lohman plays such a pathetic little character you end up feeling she deserves not only to be dragged to hell and tortured for an eternity, she deserves every other miserable aspect of her existance. That would include the wimpy boyfriend who continually drops her off at her house to leave her alone through the night after every traumatic (seemingly for her, not the audience)event she endures. I know, it's just a movie, right? A movie that should have been labled "a tour de force in the gross comedy genre." The critics called it "terrifying," "nerve-rattling." Why? This movie is so hokey and has such a plethora of bad actors, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would give it such a high rating. Please Sam, stick to comedy. When it comes to an actual horror film, you are completely clueless.
