Drag Me to Hell is a 2009 American horror film written and directed by Sam Raimi and co-written by his brother Ivan Raimi. It stars Alison Lohman and Justin Long. The film stands as a return to form for Raimi, who had previously earned acclaim for his cult horror series The Evil Dead, before reaching a wider audience with the Spider-Man films. The film circulates around Los Angeles loan officer Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) and her refusal to extend a loan for Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) in order to impress her boss. In retaliation, living hell. The movie also pays a tribute to 1980s Universal horror films as it shows a vintage opening logo from the decade and the “Ask for Babs” Universal tour title card.
