Its like Thinner (1996) meets Ghost (1990) with a touch of "Poltergeist" (1982) and the "Evil Dead" movies on the side.


Stylistically, genre-wise and in terms of plot, do you think this accurately describes this movie, Drag Me To Hell (2009) and that since it involves a curse it brings to mind Tom Holland's "Thinner" (1996) movie, and the dragging to hell reminds of "Ghost" (1990) with Patrick Swayze (especially with those villains at the end getting dragged off to hell by ghostly spirits after they die), the supernatural happenings and atmosphere is similar to "Poltergeist" (1982) and the general creepiness and also supernatural threats and happenings bring also to mind the "Evil Dead" series as its from the same director, Sam Raimi. Agree?

Thanks.
