Next Attraction

Well, to start with, I watched the movie DRAG ME TO HELL last night.
With my office mate Alan, Chard and Kuya Renan.

Actually, it was really Alan's and my idea to watch a movie but definitely this was not the movie we first intended to watch, it was ANGELS and DEMONS back then. But due to some workaholic reasons i was not able to attend our first planned movie outing.hehehe.

Back to the topic, DRAG ME TO HELL directed by Sam Raimi, who is also the director of the Spiderman movie series and the producer of the Grudge series also.

The movie never scares me. Can i say that the movie was so lame?
When i first saw the movie trailer in the moviehouse, in youtube and in our TV set, i was really excited about it. Imagine we watch the movie in its first day showing. Can is say that Chard's 600 pesos all worth it?

I can say that the movie is really so gross. From the start of the movie until the end. Christine Brown(Alison Lohman) who works in a loan company and the cursed one ate almost everything. From Mrs Ganush's saliva and even the mud in the cemetry.

Christine was cursed because she never granted an extension on Mrs. Ganush's loan, who is a malevolent gypsy. I loved the part where Mrs. SlyviaGanush(Lorna Raver) told Christine that " I never begged for my whole life and this is the first time i did it and you shamed me", I hope i remembered the statement right. Those word really strucked me. What if those things happened to me where i have to live in the street because my house is foreclosure due to the loan i can not pay. Maybe i will also cursed the bank loan officer. Hahahaha. Just joking.

Back to the movie again.
How Christine was cursed? Using a button of her coat. Wait seems that im so groggy right now.
I'll better get some sleep and edit this later. hehhehe.

Well, again back to what im saying, about the movie.

The first scene was inside the loan company where Christine was working and she was talking to her boss, Mr Jacks(David Paymer) about the managerial position which she was aiming to get, so to cut off the story short, she just simply become the goody good girl to almost everyone in the story except for Mrs Ganush. Then the next sequence in the story was her boyfriend Clay Dalton(Justin Long who also played Darry Jenner[his head was ripped by the creepers] in Jeepers Creepers and also the voice of Alvin and the Chipmunks) talking to his mother about his ex-girlfriend and Christine over heared those things making her miserable. Then came my favorite scene where the first encountered with Mrs Ganush. At first, Mrs Ganush was so kind to Christine and the latter just pity the former about her miserable life, can i say that Mrs Ganush seems to be a bit weird and yucky..heheehe because of her saliva in her almost semi black false teeth she put in Christine's table while the latter is to talking to her boss about the loan. Well, eventually Christine never gave Mrs Ganush the loan that's why she was cursed. Next was in the parking area where the cursing take place if im going to type almost all this scene or i will be entering into a next topic of this blog.( This time is so enjoyable people inside the movie house are screaming... hahaha. Alan just commented that "Seems that they have alot of energy to burn bwahahaha.." . All i can say about this scene transport you in a scene of Shaolin Soccer.)

Christine just lost her consciousness and the next scene was of course she was reporting everything with a policemen then her boyfriend came. While she was walking home with his boyfriend they came into a fortune teller store where the met Rham Jas (Dileep Rao), greedy fortune teller i guess. Asking for a 100 dollars for his service. This time the charaters learned that a dark spirit was upon her.
At home, the house was a vintage, Christine was attacked by a Goat like monster who is so powerful yet invinsible. Who cut the power in her house, bruised her, pushed her, put her in the air and most specially ruined her room. This time around Clay is so supportive to her gf yet i think his thinking that shes crazy because of the trauma about the encouter with the gypsy.

Morning came, a fly just came in Christine nose while sees asleep and dreaming about Ganush attacking her again. Cough cough and cough, shes coughing. Ariving in the office with a sosy convertible car rented by Clay. At the office, Mr Jacks told Christine that her big transaction with a her client is doing well. Christine was quite a mess. Why? Because Mr Jacks' finger turn Mrs Ganush' s finger tapping her desk. Cough! Nosebleed! Seems that all Christine's blood just came out in her nose coating Mr Jacks(Hello Director, can you please lessen the blood next time maybe just a cup or glass but not a bucket..because it makes the movie lame).

Fleeing to work and decided going to Mrs Slyvia's house (i wonder where she get the address) where she met Ilenka Ganush( Bojana Novakovic) the gypsy's granddaughter this is the time where Christine learned that Slyvia just die the previous night. After knocking the coffin she was attacked by Ganush corpse and Ilenka just think that Christine deserves it.
Cursed one just went again to Rham. Rham just told her that it was a Lamia and she only got 3 days to be drag to hell and just need to offer a blood. She offer her poor kitty (its like a philippine cat we can see in the street which we often called Pusakal, short for Pusang Kalye)

Visiting her fabulous in laws while she was thinking that the cursed was already stopped but again the Lamia came to torment her. This time Rham told the couple about Shaun San Dena ( Adriana Barraza) who can help our lead actress, that the Shaun had a previous encounter with the demon but they should pay 10,000 dollars.

Christine decided to produced that huge amount of money until Clay decided to pay for her(i love you, Clay). Then, the next day Rham and Christine goes to the beautiful place of Shaun(10,000 worth of chandelier i guess). Just a normal scenarios of calling the anyone from down under. The Shaun dies because of that. Rham told Christine that this is not over yet and there was this idea giving gifts to the death. On her way to the cementry she encountered Mrs Ganush possessed handherchief which she ripped it in two.

The graveyard, Christine dugged the ground where Ms Ganush laid, give the white envelop containing the button in her mouth(I wonder if she didnt smell the fool odor) then it rains hard enough to fill out the dugged place that became a pool like mud and water. Having a hard to get off the muddy . I guess, this is the funniest part of the movie where she was struck by a big silver cross in the cemetery..hehehe(Again, If i will be the script writter i should let Clay saved her whoa.). But instead just a few minutes she just came back to life and manage to escaped the pool.

Next morning came, the couple decided to go out of town. She got a beautiful coat for the event. Till they met in the train station, actually i think Clay is proposing to her but to my dismay Clay give her the enveloped containing the button which was fell off in Clay's car last night. Scared or rather idiotic scene she went out of balance the ended in the railway and a train is fast approaching. The ground opened up and swallowed Christine. Poor Christine should i say.

Well, the movie got a lot of sound effect and mind you Reggie Lee (Chinese Filipino, who was known in the Phillipines about I think his role in Pirates of Caribbean)who also played as Stu Rubin Christine opponent to the managerial position and also the one who stoled the planned and papers about Christine's biggest loan transaction and the first person Christine decided give out the button but because she pity the man she never did it.

Hope my next movie synopsis is not that long. heeheh. Bare with me this time around.
