Drag Me to Hell (aka The Roasting of the Pork Queen) with Matt Wilson

Fear Level: Spooky
Trigger Warnings: body horror, anti-Roma racism, jump scares, animal death

A tour of exoticism, anti-Roma racism, early 2000's real estate / banking, and some real big Sam Raimi vibes. We try to puzzle out where exactly the Raimis are falling all of this? This is one movie where the tone and the message clash so hard, we don't actually know how the movie feels about anything.

• Director: Sam Raimi
• Writers: Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi
• Stars: Alison Lohman, Justin Long. Lorna Raver, David Paymer, Adriana Barazza, Reggie Lee, Dileep Rao
