REVIEW: Drag Me to Hell Is Slimy, Slapstick Horror Fun!
 Review in a Hurry: While you wait patiently for Sam Raimi to make Evil Dead 4, he gives you the next best thing: Alison Lohman taking a Bruce Campbell-style beatdown all movie long at the hands of an ugly old woman and some invisible demons. The story's a bit thin, but the over-the-top shocks are hysterical fun in every sense of the word. The Bigger Picture: Opening with a retro Universal logo from the early '80s, Drag Me to Hell telegraphs early on that this is a bit of a throwback—the Spider-Man director's finally getting back to the scared-silly stuff that made him famous in that decade. Almost immediately, a nerve-jangling, scratchy violin score (from genre veteran Christopher Young) kicks in, and the thrill ride begins as a little boy gets sucked into the underworld. This despite the best efforts of a helpful psychic, who can somehow afford to live in a mansion even though she's apparently quite useless at her chosen profession. A couple of decades later, we focus on Christine (Lohman), a cute blonde who might just be in line for a promotion at the bank where she works...if she could only learn to make tough decisions. Alas, she decides to get tough for the first time with a nasty—and very unhygienic—gypsy woman, who can not only whup ass like Moe from the Three Stooges, but can also summon a dark curse that more or less goes like this: A shadow-demon will pull nasty pranks on Christine for three days, then, you guessed it, drag her to hell.
