Masterpiece
Thank goodness one of our masters of horrer returns in a desturbingly chilling non stop jump fest that does not give up.
I watched this film 5 hours ago and still recovering, and I'm the type of person that thought they were ready for anything a film can offer.
Sam Raimi plugs into the deep psyche of the mind without relying on anything too direct like Saw which, frankly got boring and predictable after the first film, or too watered down copycats of Halloween, e.g. teen flicks Scream or I know what you did last summer.
This is a return to Sam Raimi's old school horrer which I dare anyone to see and not be pushed to look behind their hands or laughing unexpectantly! If you see one film this year its this (and i hav'nt seen Terminater Salvation or Transforme...
how far will she go to break free of the 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 fro...
Drag Me to Hell
Peter DebrugeSam Raimi returns to his roots in Drag Me to Hell, a flagrantly schlocky horror yarn that will titillate the teens without alienating the director's far pickier fanboy contingent, who will find the Evil Dead-style action they've been clamoring for in a surprisingly potent PG-13 package. When the bank forecloses on an old gypsy's house, it's the unlucky young loan officer who risks having her soul repossessed in this throwback to both Raimi's early work and '50s B-movies. After booking the pic in coveted midnight slots at the SXSW and Cannes fests, Universal should see strong awareness yield heavenly returns.
As its no-nonsense title suggests, Drag Me to Hell offers a kicking-and-screaming riff on the classic curse movie -- and if the material scarce...
