Drag Me to Hell begins with plain-jane loan officer, Christine Brown, committing an act of greed for the sake of her own ambitions when she denies a loan extension to a foul woman, Mrs Ganush, who is to be evicted from her home. Mrs Ganush morphs into a psycho stalker and places a curse on Christine during an after-work car park scuffle. After seeing a psychic, she is informed that the curse will create 3 days of a living hell for her until she is eventually dragged to Hell.

Sam and Ivan Raimi wrote the screenplay for this film shortly after completing Army of Darkness, but Sam went off to do Spiderman, which delayed the production of Drag Me To Hell. If the Evil Dead series have shown us anything, Raimi has always had an incredible talent of mixing horror and comedy together. Throughout Drag, I was unsure of whether I should be laughing or puking. Bugs spewing out of mouths, an insane nose bleed and digging up a grave in the middle of a storm – so outlandish that it both amuses and terrifies which makes Drag an absolute pleasure to watch.

Great effects mixed with a bit of whimsy, gore, frights and humour makes Drag Me To Hell the ideal movie to watch for anyone out for a fun ride. And it’s perfectly acceptable for viewing right before the lights go out.
