Drag me to Hell
Plot: When Christine Brown turns down Mrs Ganush’s request to extend her loan,Mrs Ganush curses with a Laima, a demon that taunts you for three days then (as the title suggests) drags you to hell. Christine, with the help of medium Rham and boyfriend Clay, has to find a way to lift the curse before the three days are up.
My thoughts: This is a dark ly comic horror and not to be taken seriously. This film had more scenes that made me go ‘eeurgh’ than any horror film I have seen. And not because of the use of horror, blood or gore. But because false teeth are gross! The first attack scene when the old Mrs Ganush (who is amazingly difficult to kill) attacks Christine, there is enough toothless slobbery sucking to make anyone turn away!
The plot itself is straight forward, and you may well see the twist coming a mile off (especially if you wondered why Clay put the coin in the envelope early on). There is of generic horror elements, some of which have a comic touch (I personally liked the goat), and it is worth watching just to see how Christine copes with the dilemma of whether to pass the curse on.
ON the whole it is a worthy comic horror movie to be taken with a pinch of salt… but please keep your teeth in!
Best bits: The attack in the car park, and the séance
Score: 7/10
