Drag Me to Hell

In the midst of Los Angeles, Christine Brown, a young and ambitious loan officer, has built a seemingly idyllic life with her boyfriend, Clay Dalton. However, Christine's perception of perfection begins to unravel when she encounters an elderly woman, Mrs. Ganush, seeking an extension on her mortgage. Christine's supervisor, Jim, instructs her to deny the extension, which leads to a heart-wrenching confrontation between the two women. The confrontation sets off a chain of events that propels Christine's life into a downward spiral. Faced with a growing sense of guilt and anxiety, Christine starts to experience inexplicable and terrifying occurrences. Her cat disappears, strange noises emanate from nowhere, and an ominous sense of presence begins to haunt her. Desperate for an explanation, Christine turns to a Gypsy woman, Mrs. Ganush, who was denied the mortgage extension, and is informed by a gypsy fortune teller that Mrs. Ganush has cursed her. Initially, Clay remains untroubled by Christine's assertions, chalking her experiences to mere paranoia and an overactive imagination. Undeterred by his skepticism, Christine visits a psychic, Rham Jas, who claims he can lift the curse and ensure Christine's safe passage into the afterlife. Rham Jas' dubious credentials and somewhat unorthodox methods only fuel Clay's doubts. Despite Clay's growing detachment, Christine becomes increasingly entangled in the supernatural events unfolding around her. As the days pass, Christine's world becomes increasingly unstable. She experiences gruesome visions and encounters a malevolent spirit, known as the " Lamia," which seems to embody the spirit of Mrs. Ganush. The supernatural occurrences escalate, culminating in a series of gruesome and disturbing events that leave Christine shaken and bewildered. In desperation, Christine turns to self-defense and seeks the assistance of a locksmith to secure her home. Her actions, however, inadvertently release Mrs. Ganush's spirit from the confines of her home, unleashing a malevolent force that sets its sights on Christine. Clay, still disbelieving in the curse, becomes increasingly isolated from Christine as the supernatural events intensify. Ultimately, it is revealed that Christine had unknowingly made a grave mistake by denying Mrs. Ganush's mortgage extension. The elderly woman, facing foreclosure and homelessness, becomes desperate and places a curse on Christine as a form of revenge. Rham Jas' intervention, however, only serves to exacerbate the curse's effects, transforming it into a malevolent entity hell-bent on claiming Christine's eternal soul. In a climactic sequence, Christine finds herself trapped in a hellish nightmare as the Lamia wreaks havoc on her life, dragging her towards a terrifying and supernatural destination. Clay, realizing his mistake in doubting Christine's experiences, makes a desperate attempt to save her, but it may already be too late. As the darkness closes in around her, Christine is faced with an existential crisis, confronted head-on with the terrifying possibility of an eternity spent in torment and damnation. As the movie hurtles towards its climax, Christine finds herself trapped in an abyss of despair, with no escape from the malevolent forces that are dragging her towards the depths of hell. Despite Clay's futile attempts to reach her, Christine is lost forever, consumed by an abyss of fear, guilt, and despair. The camera lingers on a hellish portal, as the malevolent spirit claims Christine, leaving us with an unsettling image of a life shattered by an unfulfilled mortgage extension.
