Drag Me to Hell (2009)

Drag Me to Hell is the vulgar scary movie about a normal girl who is cursed by some reason by a terrifying old lady. Although the plotline is kida vulgar, somehow they managed to turn an old demon myth into a refreshing, and modern, horror flick.

The story itself is, as i said before, quite typical. A normal woman, with a normal (ando boring) job and the so-called perfect boyfriend, who is cursed by an old lady. The thing about the movie is the specials, which mix the modern technologies with an 80's groove, Exorcist's style. Also the soundtrack and the overall noises are extremely scary, and the quiet moments in the movie can definetly be the introduction to a leap of your chair.

I was positively impressed with this movie, because i'm not a big fan of the work of Sam Raimi since The Grudge. Anyway, it was a good surprise, and the acting was also quite good, introducing Alison Lohman (nominated to a MTV Movie Award) to my little cinema world.
