Advantages: Decent performance from Alison Lohman,good visuals at times.

Disadvantages: Weak story,illogical writing.not scary at all.

Director Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell stars Alison Lohman and Justin Long and is a horror film that made much buzz.I am not a fan of horror flicks and hardly watch any film of this genre.After hearing great things about the film i finally decided to give it a watch.And boy,was I disappointed!

Christine works in a bank and is vying for the assistant manager's position when an old lady comes to her for her loan extension. When his boss tells her she should be able to take strong decisions if she is to work as the assistant manager,she rejects the old lady's extension against her own will. What follows is a dreadful series of events after she is been cursed by the old lady.

The film is all about the curse and how she tries to get rid of it.The devil wants to take away her soul and she has to somehow think of getting away from it. Between all this,the screen space is divided between her boyfriend and a couple of fortune tellers who try to help her.

The scenes are more gross than scary.A few scenes will make you feel like throwing up and the old lady's character is certainly very irritating to the eyes.It hardly has the sense of surprising which makes it very ordinary.Alison Lohman does a decent job as the petrified girl but the plot goes haywire at times,with illogical twists.

The ending is also pretty disappointing;more emphasize on a stronger ending might have really helped. All in all,a huge disappointment.A film that will actually keep me away from horror for pretty long.

Summary: What if you are cursed and the devil wants your soul?
