I’m not sure what was more entertaining, the movie, or the two young ladies who sat behind me in the theater with their jackets over their faces the entire time.

As the preview tells us, Alison Lohman’s character is cursed by Lorna Raver’s creepy and flat-broke bank client.  The result is a nasty haunting by an evil demon, and a series of attempts to prevent the eventual “dragging to hell” by said demon.

In one intense fright scene, Lohman confronts the image of Raver on her iPhone.  Naturally, I leaned over to my friends and said, “There’s an App for that!”

Alas, I was disappointed to learn that it was more Hollywood trickery, and, in fact, there is no App for that.  I think they missed a great cross-promotion opportunity by not releasing it on iTunes.  Of course, the iTunes people had so much bad publicity with their recent shake the baby application, that a horror film app maybe wasn’t in the cards.

Perhaps having Justin “Hi, I’m a Mac” Long was sufficient enough promotion for Apple.

Product placements aside, the movie is genuinely frightening, and genuinely funny.

If you liked Evil Dead or Army of Darkness, you will like Drag Me To Hell.  Sam Raimi delivers his own brand of brilliance yet again.

Unnecessary Spoiler: Somebody actually gets dragged to hell in the end. Can you guess who it is?
