The October Project 2: Day 6

 

"I desire the SOUL of Christine Brown. We will FEAST upon it while she festers in the grave!"

Drag Me To Hell  (2009)
Directed by Sam Raimi

After his great success as the man behind the Spider-Man franchise, this film marked Sam Raimi's return to horror. He did not disappoint.
After foreclosing on a creepy old woman, an  ambitious young loan officer finds herself the object of a particularly dire gypsy curse. As the film progresses Raimi manages to ratchet up the fear and menace while never losing his wicked sense of humour. Despite the undeniable sense of fun (clearly the director still loves this kind of material) it all builds to an uncompromising ending.
Was that too spoilery? Well get over it, the film was released four years ago!
