Drag Me to Hell
This film is a damning treatise on the banking and housing market collapse and justice served to evil bankers. It also has gypsy’s – whose culture always fascinates me.
Too few movies portray realistic points of view of gypsy’s so it’s hard to get a full understanding of their culture through movies. In fact, the only real fact I had known was from the film “The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies” which taught me when a gypsy fortune teller demands sex, you should provide it.
This movie teaches us that when a gypsy demands help with the default mortgage, you should also provide it, otherwise they will take out their dentures and gum you all over before vomiting all over you. Good to know.
But, bankers are evil, so they deserve to be dragged to hell anyway. This film is solid, but has too many awkward moments and kitten stabbings to be a full recommendation.
It also has a highly telegraphic plot twist that I called out, vocally in the theater for all to hear, that kind of ruins the last 45 minutes. You basically sit there watching things unfold going, “Ah huh, ok, but you’re still screwed.”
