Drag Me to Hell

Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, and Dileep Rao.

Opening date: May 29, 2009

When there becomes a competition between Christine(Alison) and another employee for a spot as the assistant manager, a women comes in who changes Christine's fate. The old women Mrs. Ganush comes in asking for another extention on her house, Christine has to choose between yes and no. Yes means that Christine isn't adamant and not serious about her work, no means that she is serious about her work and is serious that she wants the position. Christine tells Mrs. Ganush no, even though you find out she could've extended it, but she had to show her boss who she really was.

When Mrs. Ganush puts a curse on Christine, Christine starts getting haunted by a creature. You can't ever see him, but you can see his shadow and that he is there. He puts Christine through hell by slapping her, and throwing her across the room. He follows her where ever she goes, including work. The presence is always around. When Christine tries to make ends meet and say sorry to the poor women, she finds out that she's dead.

Christine goes to a Forture Teller to try and help her, he gives her a book to tell her how to get rid of the curse but it doesn't work. They even get together with a medium, but they just find out that although the spirit is gone, the curse is not over.

By the end Christine tries to get the curse off by putting it back on Mrs. Ganush, but somehow the button that the old women cursed Christine on finds its way back to her boyfriend and back to her.

The movie had an intersting twist, but it was easy to figure out what was going to happen. It had a lot of jumps, and if you have teenagers in your theatre, you'll hear a lot of the screams. Some parts were gross, because of bugs and other things, which most people arn't okay watching. If you're into horror, you'll most likely have mixed feelings about this movie... I did. I loved it, but all the same it was kind of silly/funny at some parts. Overall, I'd recommend this movie, but not to small children. If you're a fan of Alison, like me, you'll love her in this, she did an amazing job. Ellen Page was suppose to play Christine, but I couldn't see it after watching Alison.
