Sam Raimi’s return-to-roots horror flick, Drag Me To Hell, is trailered over at Rope of Silicon,
and it looks like a moderately stylish thing, with well sketched mood,
and certainly some inventive angles and all that. People forget, what
with the baked-in-cake success of the Spider-Man flicks and all, that Raimi is a master of camera placement. Go back and look at the Evil Dead films and his other early work, if you doubt.

The film centers around an ambitious loan officer (Alison Lohman, above left) who, after her callous actions cause an old woman to lose her home, finds herself the victim of a powerful curse that will damn her soul for eternity. Not entirely sure, but the curse may or may not involve repeated exposure to disgusting eczema. David Paymer plays Lohman’s boss, and Justin Long does the baby-it’s-OK-no-seriously-you’re-going-crazy-with-all-this-oh-I’m-cursed-shit thing. Drag Me to Hell opens May 29, from Universal.
