DRAG ME TO HELL (2009)
SYNOPSIS
Director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man trilogy, Evil Dead
series) returns to the horror genre with Drag Me To
Hell, an original tale of a young woman's desperate
quest to break an evil curse.
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? --© Universal Pictures
