Drag Me to Hell-Not a Drag at All

I'm officially a Sam Raimi fan after seeing this movie. I've seen Evil Dead and Army of Darkness years ago but had forgotten how wonderfully quirky and freakish they were. After tangling with the Spiderman films for years, Raimi is back directing horror in Drag Me to Hell, a cautionary tale about a sweet loan officer trying to impress her boss to get a promotion. Unfortunately, she makes a big mistake and pisses off a gypsy who then curses her with the Lamia.

This is probably the best scary movie I've seen since The Grudge came out. Raimi uses shadows, simple visuals and sounds such as the drumming of fingers and whispers of gypsy themed violin music to amp up the creep factor.

The protagonist, Christine Brown does everything in her power to escape the curse and save her soul from eternity in hell. Although she is clearly scared out of her mind, she puts up a fight and gives the polar opposite of the damsel in distress vibe. Best scene in the movie is the fight in the car between Christine and Mrs. Ganush. Brilliant!

Drag Me To Hell mixes horror and humor and creates a thoroughly entertaining movie. It will have you believing that sometimes even good people can go to hell.
