Drag Me To Hell

"Drag Me To Hell" (2009) is possibly the worst movie ever made. The previews in this case are more misleading than a Weight Watchers commercial. Not only that, but it completely mimics the idea of Final Destination with a twist of The Exorcist.

The film is about an old gypsy woman who goes to the bank and asks Christine, the loan officer, for an extension so that she may keep her house. Despite efforts with the branch manager, the extension would not go through. Apparently some people just don't understand good economics or the purpose of business, because the old hag goes crazy and curses Christine for doing such a 'horrible deed' to her. Puh-leez!

If anything, this film should be under the 'comedy' section On-Demand instead of the 'horror' that it was definitely mistakenly placed under. At one point Christine gets a projectile bloody nose that gushes at least 3 gallons of blood, mostly on to her boss. At this point, her bosses main concern is if any blood got in his mouth, while other employees are concerned about the carpet. No one slightly worried that this 110 pound woman just had gallons of blood fly from her head? No? Ok.

Not only that, but Christine is haunted by this dead gypsy woman throughout the entire film. When she stumbles upon the old woman's funeral she freaks out, hits the casket, and when the body of the gypsy falls on to her bile begins to spew from the corpses mouth directly into Christines. The entire funeral stares at this like it is an every day occurence, and when Christine finally composes herself she stands up and leaves the funeral, bile free. When the woman haunts her later in the film her eyes fly out of her head, muscle and all, right into Christine's mouth...again. Let me note here that not once in this entire film does this girl throw up. UNREALISTIC!

The only way to rid this evil thing from taking her to hell is to persuade it from taking her soul. Upon doing this, a goat is brought in for sacrafice, which seems normal when it comes to evil and witchcrafty things. What doesn't seem normal is when the spirit posesses this goat and the goat starts talking and begins to run around and bite people. Yeah, this seems normal...

I'm beginning to think that maybe she really did do something to deserve to get dragged to hell....perhaps, bad acting?
