I don't know anyone who is not a fan of the Evil Dead series or "Army of Darkness"...I mean Evil Dead II is just simply the shit. So when I heard that Sam Raimi was tapped to direct "Drag Me to Hell" my ears perked up and the cinemaphile in me started strapping up my bootstrings. I first was exposed to Raimi with "Darkman" a series im sure someone will jump on, remake and obliterate one day, but what attracted to me and other Raimi projects was the skilled use of comedy juxtaposed against suspense/action. "Drag Me To Hell" looks like it will not dissapoint (Unlike Spider Man 1 and 3). I will be front and center on Friday!!!
Synopsis: Director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man trilogy, Evil Dead series) returns to the horror genre with Drag Me To Hell, an original tale of a young woman's desperate quest to break an evil curse.
Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks (David Paymer), and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home.
In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) to save her soul from eternal damnation. To help the shattered Christine return her life to normal, the psychic sets her on a frantic course to reverse the spell. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?
