DRAG ME TO HELL 2 THE JUDGE OF THE DEAD MOVIE
“It was a really a sword-and-sorcery fantasy adventure comedy.”Īfter that, Raimi’s films were a eclectic mix – the offbeat Western “The Quick and the Dead” (1995), the thriller “A Simple Plan” (1998), the heartfelt baseball movie “For Love of the Game” (1999) and a Gothic mystery, “The Gift” (2000). He doesn’t consider “Army” a real horror film, though. He says the last one he directed was the 1987 “Evil Dead II,” which like the other two of the loose trilogy – the 1981 “Evil Dead” and the 1992 “Army of Darkness” – starred pal Bruce Campbell. “I love getting back to that genre, which is designed to interact with the audience with thrills and chills.” Raimi was thrilled to make a horror film again. “I was a fan of his – I loved ‘The Gift’ and ‘A Simple Plan,’ but I grew up watching the ‘Evil Dead’ trilogy – so there was a nostalgic element, too.”

I fact, I was hoping to,” cracks the 31-year-old Long. I would have done an erotic costume farce for Sam.
DRAG ME TO HELL 2 THE JUDGE OF THE DEAD TV
The actor, who is on your TV screen, oh, about every 15 minutes in those Mac-PC ads (he plays the cool Mac, while John Hodgman is the bumbling PC), says he was attracted to the project for the chance to work with Raimi. And there were moments I wish I could have had maggots thrown up on me.” “Though I love getting my hands dirty, something I’m very game for. Justin Long, who plays Christine’s boyfriend, a psychology professor, says at first he was relieved that he didn’t have to go through what his co-star went through. … I should’ve done more combat training.'” Sometimes I’d think, ‘Oh my gosh, what was the point of talking about all this other stuff. … Actually the bulk of the movie for me was a lot of the torture elements of it. “I guess when Sam says that he didn’t tell me everything, he just made it seem that the film was a lot about my character. “I haven’t done a film this physical before,” says Lohman. So throughout the shoot Lohman had some “pretty awful things done to her,” says Raimi, including being repeatedly choked, thrown out of car and buried in mud. The old woman then curses her, and Christine is beset by a demon, whom only she can see but who can inflict a lot of physical damage. With a promotion in the offing and wanting to show her toughness, Christine denies an old gypsy woman (Lorena Raver) an extension on her loan, forcing her out of her house. Lohman plays Christine Brown, a young woman from the Midwest who is a bank loan officer. “I thought that he was just trying to be flowery,” says the actress, who first came to prominence playing Michelle Pfeiffer’s daughter in “White Oleander.” “But then I realized (later), he completely meant it.”

Lohman says she did wonder what Raimi meant in the script when it said that the demon “suckles on her chin.” … So I kind of skirted around some of the tough issues so she’d still take the part.” But I was afraid to tell her all the things I had to do to her in the film when I was trying to get her. “I have seen her in a few films, and I thought she was brilliant. “I was just so lucky to get her,” says Raimi. And the director of the “Spider-Man” franchise admits he wasn’t totally forthcoming about what he was going to put her through when they shot the film. The title – “Drag Me to Hell” – should have given Alison Lohman a hint.īut the actress was so excited to work with director Sam Raimi that she didn’t think much about it.
