But he's fully engaged in the giddy, gory play of the movie, lavishing clear affection on the various set pieces.

In Drag Me To Hell, Alison Lohman plays a bank employee who refuses a merciful loan extension to an elderly errant mortgagee (Lorna Raver). Depending on how one chooses to categorize some of the director's genre-mashing romps, the 2009 feature could be seen as Raimi's first foray into horror since his scrappy 1980s heyday, when he was still nailing cameras to planks of wood in order to pull off loopy visual tricks. After nearly a decade of devoting his cinematic directorial efforts solely to the adventures of a man with spider-like abilities who was admittedly amazing, Raimi returned to the territory of scary movies.

Cinematographer and UW-Madison alumnus Peter Deming got his start on Sam Raimi's beloved Evil Dead II and has been David Lynch's go-to behind the camera since Lost Highway: the latter collaboration includes all 18 episodes of the recently aired mindwarp Twin Peaks: The Return.
