On a rather boring day, i was sitting in the house and i decided to take myself to the cinema. I had already been there about four times in about two weeks. At the time i was making a regular habit of going as it was my way of getting out for a few hours. I checked the cinema listings for yorkgate, the cinema that i always go to and i remembered hearing that drag me to hell was supposed to be good. I have never been a fan of horror films because they scare the life out of me. I know that is the general idea but i don't like it. I had seen 17 again which stars Zac Effron from the High School Musical films prior to watching this. Although that was great i wanted to see something totally out of the ordinary, something different, basically something the complete opposite of what i usually watch and this seemed like the perfect choice.

I think sometimes the music frightens me more than a film because i know when it starts what it suggests. As i watched this i become strangely glad that i had while still being terrified and even entertained because this film manages to do it all. It provokes so many different reactions and usually a horror film makes you assume its just going to be scary and that is that. I even assumed that with this but i was wrong. This has so many different elements in it. It brings unexpected laughter, mystery, shock, intrigue and of course fear. This left me astonished and a little bit scared standing outside the cinema that night afterwards waiting for my dad to pick me up.

This film is like that "no sooner" have you jumped out of your skin, so much so that your soul has astrally projected, ran and left your body behind, than you are laughing then screaming once again. It can provoke so many reactions in such short spaces of time and because of this no matter how much you prepare yourself for "what you think" will happen next. You never really do expect it nor are you ready, sometimes i wondered "should i be laughing" or am i laughing with nerves. The story line was well thought of and like with everything in life.

The fact they have took someone playing the role of a everyday person just like me and you and put them in the situation that they are in is frightening to see. One decision was all it took to turn her world upside down for good. I wont mention what the decision was nor will i say what way she reacted. Although it is hard not to give it away in a review but the main video trailer give away all the best parts already. If you have not seen this DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER. I was shocked seeing it afterwards and was glad that i never seen it prior to watching it.

Lorna plays the role of Mrs Sylvia Ganush a elderly lady who needs a third extension on her mortgage. She comes to Christine and requests her help. Mrs Ganush is a very sinister character. She is very creepy yet extremely well thought up and one of the best additions to this amazing film. She is so brilliant and plays this role superbly, she will have you laughing,screaming in horror and shocked. Which is not bad for just one character in the film huh? If she doesn't get some sort of award for her performance she should. The same goes for the rest of the cast.

I loved this film, the special effects where brilliant and the whole film was very impressive. The idea for it couldn't have been better. I would gladly buy this dvd and i don't buy them often now because like previously mentioned they are too available. It really takes me to have thought "wow" before i would go out and buy my own copy of a film and this made me think wow for certain. Each and every character gets into their role so well. There was not one bad performance from any of the actors or actresses in this film. This film left me wanting to see more not in a bad, this wasn't good way but rather in a wow "that was so amazing" i don't want it to end way. I never ever liked horror films. I have not watched one which i can honestly say that i liked until this but this is an exception because it is exceptional.

Reggie Lee is also brilliant as Stu Rubin who also works where Christine does. He is a sneaky man and will more or less do anything possible to try and make Christine look bad because he is competing with her and doing everything in his power to get the promotion instead of her. David Paymer put in a excellent performance as the boss of the bank. He is deciding who out of Christine and Stu deserves the promotion to assistant manager. I find the character of Christine to have been one who a lot of people could relate to, in the sense that she really wants her promotion. She has worked hard to get there and she has a annoying weasel on her back trying to make her look bad and causing her unnecessary stress.
