| Drag Me to Hell | comment |
Drag Me to Hell (2009) is Sam Raimi's long-awaited return to the horror genre. The movie stars Alison Lohman as Christine Brown, a loan officer who forecloses on an old woman's home for the sake of a promotion. This proves to be a big mistake, as Sylvia Ganush, the woman in question, proceeds to lay a curse on her that sets a horrendous demon against her to terrorize her for three days, after which she will be Dragged Off to Hell. Now Christine must find a way to break the curse before she suffers this most awful of fates.Features a lot of Sam Raimi's signature styles. | |

Heroic BSoD: Christine has one at the sight of the envelope carrying the cursed button - which she thought she retrieved from Clay's car - in Clay's hands at the train station. The very last shot of the film shows Clay in a MASSIVE one. After watching Christine get dragged off to Hell, he can only look at the train tracks and the cursed button with a mix of horrified disbelief and heartbreak. | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: The trailers feature a part of the last scene of the film. It may not necessarily be seen as a major spoiler. Many viewers may see it as a snippet from a final showdown or something, as opposed to the last thing that happens. It's only when the climax occurs with that scene not yet happening that you realize that Christine is fucked. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Evidently, the following is Clay's thought pattern before he meets Christine on the platform: "Why is there a coat button in this envelope? Oh, that's from Christine's jacket. I'll return it when I see her." The first day of their holiday also happens to be the final day in the cycle of the curse. In the end, the trope is Played Straight. | |

Black Comedy | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: It's a Sam Raimi horror, so naturally it runs on this. There's a lot of really gross moments, most of which involve Christine getting something gross spilled, spat, or gushed all over her face. But all of the grossness is played for comedy, mostly by how over-the-top it is and snarky one-liners that occur thereafter. The ending is a particularly brutal punchline, as Christine gets Dragged Off to Hell after everything. | |

Curse Escape Clause | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_275773bd | comment |
Curse Escape Clause: Discussed and invoked. Christine can pass along the cursed button to someone and they will be dragged to hell in her place. And ultimately subverted. She considers passing it to her loving boyfriend, but changes her mind; she tries to Take a Third Option in giving it to Madam Ganush's corpse. However, she unknowingly put the wrong button in the grave, the curse is not lifted, and she is dragged to hell. | |

Shower of Angst | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_2e154495 | comment |
Shower of Angst: Averted. Rather than contemplatively consider every action she took over the past three days after her visit to Mrs. Ganush's grave - deliberately condemning somebody else to hell, possibly taking the wrong envelope from Clay's car, Christine heads home and takes a nice, hot shower, only with the regret of refusing the old woman an extension. | |

| Drag Me to Hell / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: So off, it must be intentional. Lamia are Greek, female, (usually) half-serpent demons that either eat children or young men in the vein of succubi. The Lamia in the movie is a goat (the fortune-teller used an illustration of Baphomet while explaining everything to Christine). They must've been keeping the real Lamia in mind because during its first visit to Christine, its silhouette is first a shapely woman, which then changes into a goat. | |

Creator Thumbprint | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_5a22609e | comment |
Creator Thumbprint: Along with the Oldsmobile mentioned above, Christine discovers plot-crucial information from an article in a newspaper near the climax. This also occurs in Spider-Man and A Simple Plan, all directed by Sam Raimi. What makes this plot device so specific to Sam is that, after each protagonist reads the relevant article, they act with the belief that their situation will improve because of the information they read; every time it deteriorates. Likely, this reused plot detail references his original cult horror film, Evil Dead. | |

Designated Victim | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_65f5c15d | comment |
Designated Victim: Sam Raimi has explicitly stated in an interview that Sylvia was the victim of the story. While it most certainly doesn't appear that way at first, closer watching suggests that it wasn't the old woman who attacked Christine, while Christine's behaviour becomes more typical of a horror protagonist as the movie progresses to avoid her fate. | |

Flies Equals Evil | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_686cac9f | comment |
Flies Equals Evil: When a fly is present, it portents the Gypsy Curse: when the parents of the ten-year-old boy reveal to Shaun San Dena the necklace he stole from the traveling Gypsies, a fly escapes from between the necklace and the blanket covering it before it hovers over the necklace and harasses Shaun San Dena (she shoos it away); after having been told by Rham Jas that someone had cursed her, a fly interrupts Christine's sleep - having entered her room through her open bedroom window - by crawling up and into one of her nostrils and out the other, then crawling into her mouth, subsequently waking her; the next day, while Christine attempts to compose herself during work, she hears the fly moving within her stomach before succumbing to a very powerful hallucination and a huge amount of blood loss from the orifices of her mouth and nose (these being the entry points the fly took the previous night); finally, after sacrificing her cat to the Lamia (the goat-like demon tormenting her), Christine meets her boyfriend's parents at their house with him, and she brings a home-made cake that, she having bitten into a piece of it, causes her to cough the fly out of her belly - her boyfriend's parents connect the dots, spit portions of cake from their mouths, and allow the entire lunch experience to sour. | |

Mood Whiplash: As the film ends, Christine, who had been condemned to Hell for most of the plot prior, happily greets her boyfriend, Clay, at the train station, having disposed of her cursed jacket button the night before. Before they board the train, she admits to him that the old lady who cursed her to Hell was right to do so because she had done wrong by her to refuse to extend her stay in that house. Clay wonders how she could be such a good person, then asks her why she left the button of her old jacket in his car. Down she goes. | |

Sadistic Choice: Offered to Christine by Rham Jas the night before the final day: while the owner of the button will inescapably be pulled into eternal Hell, its owner is changeable, provided the benefactor willingly receives it; this means that Christine can give the button to another as a gift, and then the recipient, having accepted it, will become the button's owner and thus the target of damnation. Essentially or apparently, either she burns or someone else does. | |

Battle in the Rain: Christine finally faces the source of her strife by driving to the cemetery where Mrs. Ganush is buried. After she arrives, the rain starts. She digs out Mrs. Ganush's grave, opens the coffin, and shoves the cursed button inside the corpse's mouth. However, she is deep in the ground, and the rain is heavy: the grave begins to flood, miraculously allowing the corpse of Mrs. Ganush to grab her hair in an attempt to pull her under. Christine successfully subdues the corpse and escapes the grave. The rain stops. | |

Yank the Dog's Chain | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_c4db6423 | comment |
Yank the Dog's Chain: Christine actually gets two of these in the film. The first is after the ritual where it seems they successfully got the Lamia off her back. Only to be told they just banished it away for the moment and the curse is still in effect. If that wasn't bad enough, the only one who could stop it just died using up all her energy. So she's given the button in an envelope and told to give it away to another poor sap to save herself. After a few considerations, Christine actually makes a surprisingly smart choice and tries to give it to Mrs. Ganush despite the fact she recently died. After much struggle, it seems she finally pulls it off and everything is all peachy. Good things are happening to her and her BF and she are set for a romantic getaway. However, while waiting on the train platform, said BF pulls out the button, it having gotten mixed up during a near car accident. And well... the rest is history. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several: Evil Dead: When the Lamia possesses people, it might as well be a Deadite. It even makes a call back to the classic line "I'll swallow your soul" A further Evil Dead shout-out occurs in Clay's description of the cottage he plans to take Christine to for the weekend - "Lots of trees, private..." The Anvil on Head: Eye Scream bit is a direct callback to Evil Dead 2, which has almost the exact same effect in different circumstances. Evil Dead 2 has a blood fountain in the basement, Army of Darkness has one in the pit, this has one in Christine's office. The cat scene is a direct visual callback to "YOU LOVED HER!" from the original. When Christine emerges from the water in Sylvia's grave, she comes out with her right arm stretched out. This is a direct reference to the poster of the original The Evil Dead (1981). The Running Gag of Christine having her hair pulled out of her scalp by Ganush is a nod to a scene in Evil Dead 2 where the possessed Ed rips out some of Bobbi Jo's hair. Night of the Demon/Curse Of The Demon: Sam Raimi knew they were doing a retread of this classic British horror movie, right down to the manner of the Lamia's manifestations and the train station ending. Though, to be fair, that film didn't have a Downer Ending. If it weren't for the change of characters and location, it might as well have been a Remake. Choke on it, bitch! Christine's boss Jim Jacks is named after real-life movie producer Jim Jacks, the producer of Darkman and A Simple Plan. | |

Morally Bankrupt Banker: Christine's boss is motivated purely by profit. He excitedly notes that kicking Mrs. Ganush out of her house will result in a big windfall for the bank. When Christine refuses the loan extension, he tells Christine that she handled the issue perfectly. Christine's rival, Stu, is prepared to steal, cheat, lie, professionally slander, and flatter to advance his career. He's even so petty as to accuse her of screwing up his lunch order to make her look less competent. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Christine is carrying the button in an envelope while Clay gives her a ride in his car while he has a bunch of paperwork in the backseat, plus at the same time, he also has there a rare quarter dollar coin in a blank envelope. Sylvia's spirit briefly influences Clay to drive into a bump, sending papers flying everywhere, and, of course, Christine and Clay accidentally mix up the envelopes. However, Clay having this improbable and plot-convenient baggage that allows for the mixup in the first place seems to just be pure coincidence. | |

The "Fun" in "Funeral" | |

The "Fun" in "Funeral": Christine realizes that she has arrived at Mrs. Ganush's funeral about twenty steps from the final stair to the basement. Then she sees the corpse and falls face-first on top of it; then a pedestal holding the coffin snaps, causing it to fall - Christine and contents included; then, as she rolls off the coffin after impact, she pulls the corpse off with her (it having clasped her hair), after which it lands on top of her and pours the digested and congested contents of the deceased's last meal and inner infection out of her open mouth and into Christine's. | |

Hell: It's where the curse drags you. Specifically, the aforementioned and spoiler-tagged example. | |

Airplane of Love: Exaggerated and enforced in the second-to-final shot. Clay watches the train and its tracks pass over Christine - whom he will neither see nor love again - as Hell drags her down. | |

Running Gag | |
| Drag Me to Hell / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
The Running Gag of Christine having her hair pulled out of her scalp by Ganush is a nod to a scene in Evil Dead 2 where the possessed Ed rips out some of Bobbi Jo's hair. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: In spite of getting knocked around for much of the film's runtime, Christine always looks presentable. | |
