Sam Rami drags Alison Lohman to Hell!! YAY

Drag Me to Hell is a movie that comes to the public and gives them what they want to see when they need it, even if they don't know. Citizen Cane let America simultaneously envy and pity a rich tycoon during the end of the great depression and and the beginning of WWII, Rocky 4 made gave us a Microcosm of the cold war just as silly and costly as the real thing, and Soul Plane prepared black America for the depression, disgust, and devastation that would come with Hurricane Katrina. This film is all about finance in terms of both story and in terms of production. It was written well before Rami made his three spider man films which the untainted mainstream film fans will think of when the here his name. Rami wanted to make the film earlier but couldn't afford the director he wanted and ended up having to wait to see the film completed. The film gets pretty physical with bodies flung across the ceiling and possessed zombie puppets.

The plot revolves around a desperate bank employ trying to make her bones on a Gypsy at a time when the world hates bankers much more than Gypsies. An this film is a s messy as we would hope any thing from Rami could be. If you ever seen Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, or Army of Darkness then you've been suffer for the last 17 years for fly witches spew slime and and guts from every orifice like decapitated sprinklers and cryptic and eerily accurate references to gypsy folklore that made the Roma scary even to the Nazi's thought they had to go. Alison Lohman is believe as the amiable but self centered loan officer. She gives you someone to route for while Rami pummels with glass blizzards and rancid old lady sputum. Lohman's torture is tinged with Schadenfreude as the world spins out of control due to the economic hell-storm caused by bankers like her character so seeing one thrown through a window or hunted by hell beast is more than cathartic. The effects were adequate but I expected more from the man who created the invisible hollowing forest demon from saga. But then can any thing really hope to stand up to a beast so horrifying that it permanently chiseled an WTF look on Bruce Campbell's face? There are three lessons you can take away from Drag Me To Hell; one: in movies gypsies are hot when they're young and beat when they're old, two: old people are not to be trusted, and three: bankers can sometimes get what they deserve if you know magic. Learn magic!

Best Line of the movie: "Did it get in my mouth?"
