  • how far will she go to break free of the curse?

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks (David Paymer), and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home.

    In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) to save her soul from eternal damnation. To help the shattered Christine return her life to normal, the psychic sets her on a frantic course to reverse the spell. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?

  • Too cheeky to be scary (but fun anyway)

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By TheWatchman (520 reviews) from Suburbia , 29 May 2013
    I’m writing this review after my third viewing of Drag Me to Hell. I guess I’ve finally ‘got it.’ After seeing it advertised on its release, I was under the impression that it was meant to be [really] scary. Therefore, when the credits started to roll, I felt severely disappointed. This is NOT scary. It is however quite tongue-in-cheek – which I should have really guessed, seeing as it was made by the producers of the Evil Dead franchise. It’s about a girl who gets cursed by a psychotic old gypsy woman, who damns her to hell unless... well, you have to watch it to see what lengths the poor bank-worker will go to to save her soul. This film, although grotesque in places, is far from frightening. It’s more designed to make you laugh and throw-up at the same time. Don’t take it seriously. Just get some mates, some beers and some popcorn and enjoy it for all its daftness (and ALWAYS be nice to gypsies if they want an extension to their mortgage).

  • HORROR???? AWFUL COMEDY

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By a customer , 23 May 2013
    Are the people who are actually classing this as a credible horror film for real?! It's a TERRIBLE COMEDY at best. I only sat through this ordeal purely out of disbelief at how bad it actually was. Please don't let the trailer which convinced me to order it fool you as it has a tedious story line, wooden actors and AMAZINGLY POOR (also amusing) action scenes & 'special' effects. I don't write many reviews but if I can prevent just one person not completely wasting thier time renting this title I'd feel vindicated!!

  • Worth a watch for the shocks

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By a customer , 14 Apr 2013
    I thought the movie was a good watch. Very creepy and the shocks made me jump. Some campy moments but I think that was the point. May not be for all tastes as some of the scenes are gory and nauseating. If you like Raimi's previous work such as Evil Dead, this movie is in a similar mold although I didn't like those films but I thought this one was very watchable.

  • Toothless but not Harmless

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer , 09 Apr 2013
    take a toothless hag, a some mumbo-jumbo, an innocent girl and a few twists and turns and hey presto! you have an over-the-top yet scary film which holds the viewer's interest to the end.
