Comcast On Demand - ATL365 Recommends  Drag Me to Hell
Before he made a fortune spinning masterfully rendered Spider-Man spectacles, auteur Sam Raimi generated a cult following as the creator of the Evil Dead Trilogy, a genre mash-up of Zombie horror with Three Stooges slapstick. DRAG ME TO HELL draws Raimi back in his roots with a twisted tale about a young woman's (Alison Lohman) desperate quest to break an evil curse, with the help of her charming boyfriend. (Justin Long). For those who felt let down by the über-hyped PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, rest assured: Raimi delivers the goods.
