The Raimis tried to make the character of Christine the main focal point in the film, and tried to have Christine in almost all the scenes in the film. The Raimis wrote the script as a morality tale, desiring to write a story about a character who wants to be a good person, but makes a sinful choice out of greed for her own betterment and pays the price for it. The film went into production under the name The Curse. When Brown is baking in her kitchen, we see a photo of her as an overweight teenager.The original story for Drag Me to Hell was written ten years before the film went into production and was written by Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi.

This time though, the protagonist faces a real trip to hell, not just being put through it. She is up for the assistant manager position and her relationship with her boyfriend (Justin Long) has hit a rough patch.ĭemons play a prevalent role in this Raimi picture much like a certain film that he made in 1979. But then again, is there ever a good time for that? Christine is at a crossroads personally and professionally. When the old woman places a curse on her, it couldn’t have come at a worse time.
