After refusing to help a gypsy in need, young Christine (Alison Lohman) becomes the target of an evil spirit intent to literally drag her to hell.

Thank God for Sam Raimi! After six years of being caught up in all things web-head, Mr. Raimi returned to the genre that made him a star with subtly titled – Drag Me To Hell. If you like BIG scares, BIG laughs and BIG anvils hitting people in the head, then this is the movie for you! Yep that’s right – comedy in a horror film! Not since Slither have I laughed so much with (not at) a horror film.
Watching this film makes me yearn for more Raimi-horror. I want more floating possessed people, more geysers of blood and more 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88s. Unfortunately we’re gonna have to sit through at least one Wizard of Oz prequel before we get there. But at least it’s good to know that the home fires are still burning.
