Alison Lohman and “Drag Me to Hell” Premiere Cannes Film Festival

Posted by fjgirls in May 21st, 2009

“Drag Me To Hell” premiered tonight 21 May at the Cannes Film Festival 2009 and this film got the red carpet treatment with names such as Alison Lohman the main female lead and Estelle Desanges attending the event. “Drag Me To Hell” Â conjures up all sorts of images in the mind, is currently getting heavy advertising on bus sides in London, and meeting with a slight giggle on this site, and a real Â itching to at least see the trailer, and put this film through its paces to see if anything is left at the other end!

If being “dragged to hell” involves meeting the likes of Estelle Desanges (pictured below) who was also at the premiere, then you can “drag me to hell” anytime you like, the sooner the better!

Film Details:

Directed by Sam Raimi of Spiderman fame and also of the absolutely superb cultÂ film trilogyÂ ”Evil Dead”, comedy horror at is best of which FJ is a serious fan, comes his latest offering about a bank loan officer after a promotion who has to show her mettle with a elderly lady regarding a decision on a mortgage extension. All simple stuff on paper,Â Â but she makes the rather unwise decision of turning down this particular old lady and humiliating her in the process, only to find she becomes cursed by this woman with the prospect of “burning in hell”.

The Verdict:

Film poster and film title it has to be said had us laughing out loud and shaking our heads, and visions of yet another B Movie style horror film looked very much on the cards, and a resulting tear this to shreds review looked to beÂ in the makingÂ with aÂ nasty 1 star rating at the end being the prospect.

That is on first impressions. A trailer based rating only this, but from what we have seen, this does actually look surprisingly good, had us jumping here, its all screams and shocks and the old woman from hell, who you really should have given the mortgage extension too! Critics hate horror films, and technically this is not a masterpiece, but it is frightening, and more importantly there is direction pedigree here with the Evil Dead films now reaching a cult status, Â as they are totally hilarious.

“Drag Me To Hell” probably will affect how you look at little old ladies after viewing this film.Â Â Some hiding under the bed covers whilst leaving the lights on at night, may also have to be expected. We think any mortgage extension requests from old ladies in future will also be given the very shaky “no problem” vote from loan officersÂ at most banks fromÂ now on.Â We like this …………… technical rule book has been thrown out the window, andÂ if you pardon the pun “what the hell” Â RatingÂ 3 stars out of 5Â is the surprising outcome! Now where’s those spppare light bbbulbs!!!
