Drag Me To Hell (2009)



Does this seem just a little... racist to anyone else? I mean, Evil Gypsy Woman harasses Poor Innocent Blonde Girl! At least Stephen King's Thinner (the book, not the movie) was original, and gave its gypsies some humanity.

They say she's a Lamia, which could prove to be interesting, maybe. There's a rich history there, but I have a feeling the producers have done what seems so popular now, which is pick an interesting name from mythology, then proceed to write out all the interesting folklore aspects, turning the creature into something generically evil.

However, it IS called "Drag Me To Hell," so I HAVE to see it. I'm a sucker for a good title. :)
