Christine Brown Alison Lohman is a loans officer looking for promotion. In order to impress her boss who thinks she is too nice. Christine refuses a loan extension to a weird old woman, Mrs Ganush. The angry woman feels shamed by Christine's actions and curses her. Later Christine is attacked by Mrs Ganush who seems to possess supernatural strength.
He tells Christine that she will be tormented by a special curse for three days and then dragged into hell. This is not as low budget as the Evil Dead movies. A Bruce Campbell cameo is sadly missing. Horror movies fans will enjoy this especially with its dark humour and wild pace. I did wonder why Mrs Ganush needed a loan extension, she could had sorted out the arrears from all those people who were in her house.
It sounds entertaining, and you'd think it would be easy for a man who once made it his job to bring fresh, energetic horror to our cinema screens. Sadly, time has passed, and nowadays the formula seems a little stale. Raimi relies far too much on CGI in this movie, so that most of the frequent scare scenes are fake-looking and cartoonish; sometimes making this look like a Looney Tunes cartoon done via live action.
I'd much have preferred practical effects, because then the film wouldn't have been so cheesy and laughable. The mood is all over the place, too. The witch's curse storyline has real potential to be interesting, but none of the scare scenes work, mainly because Raimi goes for the gross-out over the genuinely spooky. There's a kind of infantile relish in watching a toothless old crone slobbering over her victim that makes me wonder what exactly he was thinking of.
Playing it straight would have worked far better, I think. The cast is nothing to write home about, with performances ranging from the pantomime Dileep Rao to the decent David Paymer.
As the heroine, Alison Lohman tries very hard to convince, although she does fail to elicit much sympathy. The pacing's good, though, and there are plenty of set-pieces and jump-in-your-seat moments, so undemanding horror fans might find themselves entertained regardless.
Sometimes, though, Raimi goes too far; take the goat scene: just what on earth was he thinking? Christine Brown Alison Lohman is a loans officer in a fight for the assistant manager job. She is afraid that she's too nice. Her boyfriend Clay Dalton Justin Long 's mother doesn't think much of her either. Then an old woman Mrs. Ganush Lorna Raver comes in for a loan extension and her boss Mr.

She's in competition with a competent colleague for an assistant manager position and isn't too sure about her status with a boyfriend.
Worried that her boss will think less of her if she shows weakness, she refuses a time extension on a loan to an old woman, Mrs. Ganush, who now faces foreclosure and the loss of her house. In retaliation, the old woman place a curse on her which, she subsequently learns, will result in her being taken to hell in a few days time. With the help of a psychic, she tries to rid herself of the demon, but faces several hurdles in the attempt. Christine Brown has a good job, a great boyfriend, and a bright future.
But in three days, she's going to hell. Rated PG for sequences of horror violence, terror, disturbing images and language. Now she has only three days to dissuade a dark spirit from stealing her soul before she is dragged to hell for an eternity of unthinkable torment. Director Sam Raimi Spider-Man and The Evil Dead trilogy returns to the horror genre with a vengeance in this crazy and terrifying film.
Critics Consensus: Sam Raimi returns to top form with Drag Me to Hell, a frightening, hilarious, delightfully campy thrill ride. Skip to content. BRRIP DVDRip DVDScr BlueRay BrRip
