Drag Me to Hell (2009)

This is a solid movie. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is a loan officer with a charming boyfriend, Professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Her life is running smoothly until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush arrives at the bank and begs for an extension on her home loan. Christine decides the woman has been given enough leeway and tries to stand firm against the old woman’s protests. In retaliation, the hag places a powerful curse on her, disrupting her life. She seeks the aid of a seer to end the torment.

There are a few disturbing scenes and the ending is different than most movies. Lohman is cute and I liked her character in this film. It is a good portrayal of an introverted young woman from a small town. She is trying to land a promotion and she struggles with doing and saying the right things to get the job. I can relate to this because it has been frustrating trying to acquire a finance job. Some annoying kids that looked to be about 12-years-old were sitting behind me. They were noisy and seemed to think they sounded cool by swearing.
