One of the most memorable moments of Drag Me to Hell is the film’s ending, in which Alison Lohman’s character – after thinking she had escaped Hell’s wrath – gets violently dragged, kicking and screaming into the underworld, in broad daylight.Īnd in case anyone was wondering, Sam Raimi doesn’t think she deserved it. It’s like a cascade of… it’s just awful.” I often feel that when the studio makes you cut things or add things and change things, it really ruins the entire experience for me. “So in a way, I feel great about it because of that. “That’s the thing you lose, often, that I had on that picture, and I really was able to do just what I wanted,” Raimi remembers. “And mostly I loved having absolute creative control over the film. And I just loved working with my brother Ivan on the script. I loved shooting it with my old friend Peter Deming, who shot Evil Dead 2 with me. “I love the crew, I love working with Alison Lohman and my friend Bob Murawski, my editor.

“I look back really fondly ,” Sam Raimi says.
#DRAG ME TO HELL WIKIPEDIA MOVIE#
In a new interview with Bloody-Disgusting for the upcoming killer alligator movie Crawl, which Sam Raimi produced, we asked the filmmaker for his thoughts about the film ten years later, and why there has never been a follow-up. And yet, even the film, starring Alison Lohman as a loan officer who cancels an old woman’s mortgage and gets cursed to eternal damnation for her sins, was a sizable hit… there has never been a sequel. It’s been ten years since Evil Dead director Sam Raimi had a horror film in theaters, but the legacy of his last scary movie – the excellent and shocking Drag Me to Hell – seems secure.
