• Drag Me to Hell Is a "Morality Tale"

  

  The plot to Sam Raimi's return to horror, Drag Me to Hell, may seem tailor-made for our current economic crisis -- a loan officer angers a demon by rejecting an elderly woman's request for an extension on her mortgage -- but Raimi actually wrote the script for the film years ago with his brother, Ivan Raimi. In a recent interview, Raimi said:

  It's just a coincidence. It wasn't written to reflect anything about our society or to paint banks as villains.

  While debuting the film at Cannes, Raimi summed up the film's core concept:

  It's a simple morality tale about how greed leads to destruction.

  Drag Me to Hell stars Alison Lohman as loan officer Christine Brown; Justin Long as Projessor Dalton, Christine's boyfriend; and Lorna Raver as Mrs. Ganush, an elderly gypsy in league with the devil.

• Early Reviews of Drag Me to Hell, But Still No Official Trailer

  Sam Raimi's long-awaited return to horror, Drag Me to Hell, has been subject to some reviews, based on an early Los Angeles screening of the movie in unfinished form, and many found the Spider-Man director's return inspired. One review hailed it as "quite simply the most PERFECT horror film I've seen in a long, long while," and another claims that "Raimi has returned to true form."

  The movie, written by Raimi and his brother Ivan, follows a loan officer (Alison Lohman) that is cursed by an evil, elderly gypsy and finds her life turned into a living, um, hell. For even more opinions of the movie, head here.
