Drag Me To Hell 2009 15 1h 39movie script

In 1969 Pasadena, a Hispanic couple seek help from young medium Shaun San Dena, saying their son Juan is ill and hears evil voices after stealing a silver necklace from a Gypsy's wagon, despite his attempts to return it. San Dena prepares a séance, but an unseen force attacks them and fatally drags Juan to Hell, and he is never seen again after this. San Dena vows to fight the demon again one day.

In present-day Los Angeles, bank loan officer Christine Brown vies for a promotion to assistant branch manager with her co-worker, Stu Rubin. Her boss, Jim Jacks, advises her to demonstrate tough decision-making. Sylvia Ganush, an elderly and disheveled European Roma woman, asks for a third extension on her mortgage. However, Christine denies her request. After this, Ganush cries and begs not to have her house repossessed. Security guards arrive and she leaves, angrily accusing Christine of shaming her. In the parking lot, Ganush ambushes and violently attacks Christine. After a long struggle, Ganush rips a button from Christine's coat and curses it. Later, Christine and her boyfriend Clay Dalton visit fortune teller Rham Jas, who tells Christine a dark spirit is haunting her. At home, the entity begins to violently attack Christine. At work, she hallucinates about Ganush and bleeds profusely from her nose while spewing blood on Jacks. As Christine leaves, Stu steals a file that is on her desk.

Christine decides to go beg Ganush for forgiveness, but she discovers that she has recently died. After causing a scene at her funeral, Ganush's granddaughter warns her that she deserves everything that she is about to get. Christine returns to Jas, who explains that as long as she owns the cursed button, a powerful demon known as the Lamia will torment her for three days before literally dragging her to Hell. However, he suggests that a sacrifice may appease it. Christine reluctantly decides to sacrifice her kitten before meeting Clay's classist parents at their house for dinner, during which grotesque hallucinations torment her again, such as seeing the Gypsy’s eye in her slice of harvest cake.

Christine returns to Jas, who introduces her to San Dena for a fee of $10,000. They prepare a séance to trap Lamia in a goat and kill the goat to destroy it. However, the Lamia possesses her and then her assistant, who vomits up the corpse of Christine's cat, saying it wants her soul. San Dena manages to successfully banish the Lamia from the séance, but dies afterwards. With no other options Jas seals the button in an envelope and tells Christine that she can only remove the curse by giving the button to someone else. She attempts to give the envelope at a diner: to a tearful Stu (whom she tries to blackmail into accepting it) and to an ailing, married elderly woman; bothered by her conscience, she doesn’t do either. When Jas tells her she can give the curse to the dead she digs up Ganush's grave and shoves the envelope into her mouth to give her the curse. Christine returns home and prepares to meet Clay at Los Angeles Union Station for a weekend trip. Jacks notifies her of the promotion after Stu confessed to stealing her file and was fired.

At the station, Clay, who is hoping to propose to Christine, hands her the envelope with her missing button he found in his car, unaware of its significance. She realizes that she accidentally gave the wrong envelope to Ganush, which means the curse was never lifted. Horrified, Christine backs away and falls onto the tracks, where demonic hands come out and drag her down. A train speeds through, and Clay helplessly looks on as Christine is fatally dragged down to Hell.
