Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks, and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home. In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas to save her soul from eternal damnation. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?

Critics' reviews

"Going back to his roots, Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"There's no truth in the title. 'Drag Me to Hell' is horror-movie heaven. (...) The laughs are as explosive as the screams. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"As in the best horror movies, Drag Me to Hell keeps the audience on the edge of hysteria (...) every thump sets the heart racing and every joke earns a slightly out-of-control laugh"

Dan Kois: The Washington Post
"This film is cunningly crafted in every detail--direction, script, performances, comic timing, special effects--from thunderous start to delicious finish"

Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal
"Thrilling and often hilarious, it’s good to see one of Hollywood’s most inventive directors fully reinvigorated. On this form, 'Spider-Man 4' should be a belter. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"

Chris Hewitt: Empire
