I’ve heard Drag Me to Hell called “not Raimi’s best,” but honestly, it’s such a blast. It’s scary, it’s hilarious, it’s downright disgusting... these are all the things we love about Raimi packed into one film. It might not be his best, but it never disappoints.
Drag Me to Hell 2009 · Directed by Sam Raimi
Christine Brown is a loan officer at a bank but is worried about her lot in life. 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.
