1. Gypsy Sorceress Damns A Woman For Her Terrible Finances Drag Me To Hell
Sam Raimis return to the kitschy drag-the-actors through-the-mill approach horror that made his name in 2009 was everything you might expect from the guy who made Evil Dead. It was gory, ridiculous, and the game lead actress Alison Lohman appeared to have been effectively tortured throughout proceedings. The whole plot was suitably insane a woman has an ancient demon foisted upon her after she upsets a powerful sorceress. Said demon will, of course, drag her to hell after an allotted period of time. So far, so schlocky horror. Yet why Lohmans Christine is damned to hell seems petty at best. Simply put, Christine is a loan officer who refuses to grant the elderly woman in question an extension to her mortgage. Shes doing this to get ahead in her job, and when the womans bizarre pleading begins to upset her, she calls security to drag her away, resulting in the woman throwing a rage-fit over shaming her in such a way. Now, if she was denying a first extension for the sake of being a jobsworth, I could understand the old womans motivations. But this isnt her first extension this is her third extension, implying that shes failed twice to pay back the bank despite being given ample time. Even if Christine wasnt looking to impress her boss, shes well within her rights to refuse the woman all her history would suggest a third extension is a bad idea. How the sorceress believes this perfectly logical decision is worthy enough to damn an innocent woman to hell for all eternity (spoiler, she succeeds in the damnation) is beyond me. Its certainly an overreaction of the highest degree.
