New images from Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL
MTV have released a couple of new images from Sam Raimi's first non-superhero movie in eight years and his first pure genre horror movie since the EVIL DEAD franchise ended, with next May's release DRAG ME TO HELL. The self described "spook-a-blast" movie stars Alison Lohman as the victim of a supernatural curse cast upon her by an older Eastern European woman who was defied and humiliated by others. Raimi tells the site...
This script was one I wrote with my brother many years ago, but we couldn't get the money to make it with the director we wanted at the time. I decided it would be a great change for me to get back to the basics of filmmaking, a chance to work with a smaller budget and challenge myself with the more old-fashioned ways not being able to afford a crane every day, covering five or six pages of material every day, back to those basics of less luxurious filmmaking. I thought that would be refreshing.
More detailed summary of the plot... This is the story of a woman, Alison Lohman, who is very much in love with Justin Long's character. She makes a sinful choice so she can be with the man she loves, and then she ends up paying the price, dearly. The thing she's running from is this curse. ... In three days' time, unless she can figure out how to get out of it, she's going to be dragged by this demon down to hell.The movie also stars the still fresh faced adult Justin Long from LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, quite amazingly, as a professor!
