DRAG ME TO HELL: COLLECTOR’S EDITION REVIEWED
“Drag Me to Hell” is the greatest film about bulimia. I know it’s a film theory that keeps making the rounds, but it’s the truth. Alison Lohman is a young woman trying to make sense of a life barreling out of control. She’s a loan officer with a perfect boyfriend, yet she’s always one step away from something great. Sam Raimi was one of my horror favorites as a kid, so I never quite expected a film like this. Yet, he gets horror in the way that Polanski did before he got super creepy.
Monsters, supernatural hang-ups and related claptrap are one way to scare. But, the real terror comes from hitting those sour spots in the human experience. I’m still waiting for the day where a fan edits out the old woman, demons and other garbage from the film. It’ll be like Garfield without Garfield, but you get to watch a blonde girl break down. I know that will appeal to certain crowds.
