Go Into The Story Script Reading & Analysis: Drag Me to Hell
We’ve had a successful relaunch of the GITS Script Reading & Analysis series. I say relaunch because we have done this type of thing before. For the next month, I will be spotlighting previous movie scripts we have studied.
Today: Drag Me to Hell (2009)
Written by Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi
IMDb plot summary: A loan officer who evicts an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.
