(2009) PG-13
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver
Overview: A woman (Alison Lohman) must find a way to shatter a curse that threatens her soul with damnation.
The first step on the road to Hell, as we can see in the first of three new clips from Drag Me to Hell, is getting dragged out of your car by an enraged old gypsy woman (Lorna Raver). Locking the door is no help as she smashes through the window to exact her revenge. And all this before the curse on loan officer Alison Lohman really even gets started.
In the second clip, we get a little comic relief with the first look at how the cursed loan officer's skeptical boyfriend, professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long), reacts to being dragged to a seer to figure out how to lift the curse.
In the third, locked doors once again provide little protection. This time from the menacing shadows of hands that infiltrate from below. Such shadows were also central in an earlier clip, so it looks like this will be one of the demon's favored manifestations.

Drag Me to Hell started filming last year before the financial crisis really took hold, but in interviews with Fearnet, the stars of the movie had some fun playing with the implications of its timely release.
Having overheard a conversation about it in her bank, Alison Lohman concludes, "All bankers are talking about this movie." And asked whether she could be considered the hero for putting a curse on a loan officer, Lorna Raver replies "Absolutely." Another cast member, Octavia Spencer, goes even further. "All evil starts with banking," she proclaims with as much of a straight face as she can muster.

When your day starts out with a fly crawling up your nose, it's not a good omen. And indeed the horrors keep coming for the cast of Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell.
A pair of fast-paced TV spots have been released, carrying the tagline "Even Nice People Can Go to Hell." Here's the first one, which offers a montage of some of the very unsettling experiences visited upon the unfortunate young loan officer (Alison Lohman) who ends up foreclosing on the home of the wrong old gypsy woman (Lorna Raver).
