THOUGH Sam Raimi has spent the better part of the past decade bringing the blockbuster Spider-Man series to the screen, the director rose to cult status with his Evil Dead trilogy.

Now he returns to horror with DRAG ME TO HELL (15), about ambitious loan officer Christine Brown (Alison Lohman).

Life with her charming boyfriend, Clay (Justin Long) is good until the mysterious Mrs Ganush arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan.

Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss and get a leg up on a promotion? Christine chooses the latter, dispossessing Mrs Ganush of her home.

In retaliation, the old woman places a curse on her, transforming her life into a living nightmare. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seers to save her soul from eternal damnation.

As evil forces close in, Christine must decide how far she will go to break free of the curse.

Joining Sam Raimi behind the scenes for Drag Me to Hell is an accomplished crew of longtime collaborators, led by his brother and co-writer Ivan.
