Not Coming to a Theater Near You
There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin’ things, lacy things, things with curly hair.

In one of Drag Me to Hell’s characteristically and elaborately nonsensical sequences, Christine, the cursed principle character, encounters the witch she’s been tormented by in her garage. This confrontation is as viscously embellished as the others in the film, what with blood or vomit or some other bodily substance slathered upon our unlucky protagonist at every opportunity, but it’s arguably at this point that Sam Raimi’s absurdest tendency reaches its climax, once the witch is momentarily tempered by an anvil hanging from a truss in Christine’s garage—a determinedly ordinary room full of unused electronic and sports equipment, common implements of suburban residential maintenance, and an anvil hanging from the ceiling.
