Evil Dead director Sam Raimi takes the helm for this "spook-a-blast" shocker about an ambitious L.A. loan officer who incurs the wrath of a malevolent gypsy by refusing to grant her an extension on her home loan. Determined to impress her boss and get a much-needed promotion at work, Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) lays down the law when mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) literally comes begging for mercy at her feet. In retaliation for being publicly shamed, Mrs. Ganush places the dreaded curse of the Lamia on her unfortunate target, transforming Christine's life into a waking nightmare. Her skeptical boyfriend, Clay (Justin Long), casually brushing off her disturbing encounters as mere coincidence, Christine attempts to escape eternal damnation by seeking out the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao ). But Christine's time is fast running out, and unless she's able to break the curse, she'll be tormented by a demon for three days before literally being dragged to hell.

    Simon Foster, sbs.com.au Raimi took the horror/comedy by the scruff of the neck in 1981 with his no-budget, roller-coaster of a possession film Evil Dead...and he brings his big bag of tricks to his much-anticipated return to horror, Drag Me To Hell. Full review External link

    Dana Stevens, Slate Raimi should go slumming more often. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Christy Lemire, Associated Press The dichotomies director Sam Raimi presents within that familiar genre are what make this such a kick.
  4. Positive review
    Jason Di Rosso, MovieTime, ABC Radio National It's like watching a slide down a slippery slope with big, sharp spikes at the bottom. For horror fans -- irresistible. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Anthony O'Connor, FILMINK (Australia) Drag Me To Hell is the most fun you'll have being scared for a long time. Nice to see you back, Sam. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Leigh Paatsch, Daily Telegraph (Australia) A funny, inspired and genuinely thrilling horror movie [and] the best thing to happen to the genre in yonks. Full review External link
  7. Positive review
    Jim Schembri, The Age (Australia) As its shameless, tell-all, schlock title signals, Drag Me to Hell is great fun that goes light on gore in favour of inventive freak-outs. Full review External link
  8. Positive review
    Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald Not great horror, but it's good enough to be going on with. Full review External link
  9. Negative review
    David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia) I'm not sure I'd call it classic Raimi horror, because I think his very first films, the Evil Dead films, were quite a lot better than this. I just didn't really think it worked on the visceral horror level that he does so well at his best. Full review External link
  10. Positive review
    Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia) This is classic Raimi horror, it will appeal to fans, others will most probably run from the theatre. Full review External link
