Tim and Tay talk Sam Raimi’s post-Spider-Man return-to-horror, Drag Me To Hell, and how one scene in a parking garage shows off everything the director has mastered since his start in the early ‘80s.  Drag Me To Hell is a 2009 horror feature directed by Sam Raimi, starring Alison Lohman, Lorna Raver, and Justin Long. Lohman plays Christine Brown, an ambitious loan officer who, in the pursuit of a promotion,  chooses to evict an elderly woman from her home. The woman, played by Raver, curses Christine, giving her three days until a malicious spirit, the Lamia, drags her to hell.  Tagline — “Christine Brown has a good job, a great boyfriend, and a bright future. But in three days, she's going to hell.” Drag Me To Hell is available for digital rental.Scene (16:41 - 22:37)The scene in question stars Alison Lohman and Lorna Raver. After being told she is a shoo-in for the big promotion, Christine leaves the office, venturing into the underground parking garage with her office supplies. Once inside her car, she is violently attacked by Ms. Ganush for shaming her earlier in the day. In a chaotic fight scene, the women attack each other within the tight confines of the car, involving staplers, handkerchiefs, a smashed window, and more. The scene concludes with Ms. Ganush cursing Christine by taking a button off her jacket and handing it back to her.Links14:50 — Aiming for a PG-13 rating39:12 — Drag Me To Hell as a morality tale47:50 — Maggie Mae Fish’s video on Coup 53RecommendationsTim: Coup 53 (Taghi Amirani, 2019) — available for rental on the filmmaker’s website.Tay: The Wolf Of Snow Hollow (Jim Cummings, 2020) — available on Crave, and for digital rental. All links verified at the time of publication and based on availability in Canada.Follow: SSC on Instagram Tim on Letterboxd
