Drag Me to Hell (2009)


Director: Sam Raimi

Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long

More info: IMDB

Tagline: Christine Brown has a good job, a great boyfriend, and a bright future. But in three days, she's going to hell.

Plot: A loan officer who evicts an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.


My rating: 7.5/10

Will I watch it again? Yup.

OK. The gypsy bitch had it comin'. She had more than enough opportunity to cover the mortgage. She's just a deadbeat old hag. Ooooooh, now I've done it. Now someone's going to put a hex on me. Ooooooh, scary. Bring it, you toothless cow!

It's so refreshing seeing Raimi go back to his roots with this horror comedy. It's got his signature twisted sense of humor all over it. The 'chin job' scene is particularly sick but then this film's filled with crazy, laugh-out-loud shit. Talking goat? Got it. What else do you really need? I hope he's not done with horror because he has one of the most unique film voices in the genre. The only thing that was missing was a cameo by 'The Chin' himself, Bruce Campbell.
