Drag Me To Hell Mrs Ganush Begs Christine For An Extension

Overview: Celebrated director Sam Raimi (Spiderman, The Evil Dead) returns to the horror genre with a vengeance with the critically acclaimed Drag Me to Hell, starring Alison Lohman (Beowulf, Matchstick Men), Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard), Lorna Raver (Eli Stone), David Paymer (Oceans Thirteen), Adriana Barraza (Babel) and Dileep Rao (Brothers and Sisters). A nerve-rattling expedition guaranteed to elicit the most unimaginable fright, Drag Me to Hell is the spine-tingling tale of a young womans desperate quest to break an evil curse and save her soul from eternal damnation.

So, Mrs. Ganush had the power to curse souls to Hell but can't pay her house loans?! 🤔

Idk I guess she can't just summon a demon and make it earn money for her.

[@illarionbykov5246]

Ever read the Bible? "A camel will pass through the eye of a needle before a rich man will pass through the gates of heaven" -- outside the US people value some things over money. "Crazy" I know, but when money runs out or becomes worthless paper, it is other things which save your life. Remember that rich guy in Titanic who tries to buy his way onto a lifeboat, and his money fails to save him for the first time in his life? When the situation gets down to basic survival, such things suddenly become obvious. People who live safe, comfy lives often learn the lessson too late--at the moment they are about to die.

All of you including the commenter have completely missed what she meant by “you shame me”. Most people miss this. It has nothing to do with Christine having denied Ganush the extension on her mortgage. It has everything to do with how Christine behaved like a stupid idiot, making Ganush feel even worse as she was making herself very vulnerable in a way she likely never ever had before. Christine humiliated Ganush in front of everyone in that office. THAT’S the crux of it all. Now, whether or not Ganush somehow managing to break and enter into Christine’s car to wait for her to get off work , attacking her, and then setting a curse upon her that would damn her to hell for all eternity was justified, that’s a different story.

Well "I beg you" isn't really an argument, is it. To feel shamed when someone denies you something that you begged for is the equivalent of saying that you should be entitled to immediately have everything you ask for, which is one of the most arrogant and pretentious things I've ever heard. Of course we should try to be caring and empathic to each other, and compassion should matter, but... it's not a free pass on everything. So, essentially, that "you shame me" was incredibly stupid.

Let's not forget that same old lady was hiding in Christine's car and attacked her when she got in. That old lady was a witch with power and she's uses it to get her way. And if people don't give her or do what she wants...well, we know what she does to them.

​@@graciekattan6618 Err, watch the video. She didn't push the woman, she simply took a step back because she was grabbing her skirt. Then, when security came in, she just looked around and muttered: "You shamed me". How, exactly? By not giving her exactly what she wanted? Surprise, not every person on Earth is here to please you. She didn't pay her loan and the bank had already given her two extensions. Pay your fucking bills woman. Also, when she asks "Where am I going to live?", Christine gives her several options and she just rejects them. So, the problem is not that she doesn't have a place to live, the problem is that she's not getting the ONLY place she wants to live in. She's just a slef-entitled old hag that thinks the whole world revolves around her and that she can ignore all responsabilities all together and still demand everything she fucking feels like having, otherwise you're disrespecting her and you deserve nothing less than ETERNAL TORTURE.

[@arandombard1197]

@@QueenMB649 It's really got nothing to do with right or wrong. She doesn't own that business and its not her money to give away. She was told that she needed to be stricter and her leniency was what was holding her back as an employee. She had a moral responsibility to the business to take actions that were profitable. The business didn't rip off the old lady or treat her unfairly. She signed a contract where she borrowed money against collateral, then she failed to pay it back multiple times.They were well within their rights to end the mortgage and repossess the house to recover the lost money. Any excess would be given back to her, which should be the case considering she had lived in this house for many years and thus a decent percentage of it should have been paid off. On the other hand, condemning someone to hell is objectively the most evil action an individual could commit, even worse than murder as you haven't just taken away their mortal life but also their immortal soul. In fact, f you consider that a mortal life is finite and an immortal soul is infinite, she is literally worse than Hitler, considering the value of 6 million finite lives would be smaller than an infinite condemnation to hell.

@@shadowmoon7821 According to an interview by Sam Raimi, Christine was intended to be a “despicable character” who looks and acts like a sweet little cinnamon roll when it’s easy for her to be the good girl, but fails miserably to live up to her good-girl image whenever it becomes more difficult to do the right thing. Her refusal to grant Ganush’s mortgage extension is said to be motivated by pure greed (wanting to impress her boss in order to score the promotion at work). On top of that, her attempts to save herself all involve her... (A) Betraying her own principles (killing her cat despite being a professed vegetarian and animal lover), (B) Shifting the blame/punishment toward others when confronted (blaming the bank when Ganush’s granddaughter confronts her, blaming her manager when faced with the Lamia, and ultimately trying to pass on the curse to Ganush herself), and (C) Getting other people to risk their lives for her (Shaun San Dena in particular). All of this, according to Raimi himself, was portrayed in such a way that the audience would root for Christine throughout, despite all of the selfish/cowardly behavior listed above. The intention was that, by the time Christine finally met her end, the audience would be shown that they all deserved Christine’s fate just as much as Christine herself did. *SOURCE:* www.dreadcentral.com/news/11797/sam-raimi-talks-drag-me-to-hell/

You make a very good point. It was likely done on purpose in this movie, because Sam Raimi has stated that he intended for Christine to look sweet and charming at first glance compared to the not-so-charming, over-the-top Mrs. Ganush (thus getting the audience to sympathize with and root for Christine early on) but then gradually reveal Christine to be a selfish hypocrite underneath it all, willing to betray her morals, blame others (the bank, her manager, etc.) when confronted with the consequences of her actions, and make others risk their lives so that she can avoid having to deal with said consequences. Based on that interpretation, having Christine be so blinded by the prospect of a promotion that she turns a blind eye (no pun intended) to Mrs. Ganush’s suffering makes sense. But yeah, I don’t see why someone else in Christine’s position wouldn’t have at least tried to offer more help for Mrs. Ganush (within reason, of course).

The clash between a human relationship-based value system and a bureaucratic system based on following politically correct formalities which serve as a veneer to cover a system which is fundamentally about gaining individual wealth and status at the expense of other people and any long term relationships with them.

The writers tried to convince us that Christine was greedy for wanting the assistant manager’s position, but that’s honestly irrelevant. She’s literally just doing her job.

Sending Christine to hell over this is absolutely insane.

Yes it sucks that Ganush has medical problems on top of being on a fixed income, but banks have to do their jobs regardless of the circumstances. She was lucky enough to have gotten the second extension. Like many of you have said, Christine wasn’t in the wrong.

[@slanetroyard92]

Me personally I would've given Mrs ganush the extension. During that time would've tried to look for a loophole so she could keep her home. I volunteered at two nursing homes when I was in high school. While they were nice homes and took really good care of the seniors lot of their relatives didn't see them for months because they were busy and the citizens felt lonely at times. Lot of them had pretty great stories from their youth and were really good people. I also understood why Mrs ganush didn't want to move in with her granddaughter. Mrs ganush didn't want to burden her granddaughter and wanted her to live her life.

I’d have given the extension. And if I got flack, I’d say, not that “I don’t want to bump an old woman out of her home” but rather “the bank doesn’t want a reputation for bumping old women out of their homes without some leniency. It’s not bad PR, it’s horrible PR.” Then I’d have the old lady sign an agreement that she fully understood this was her very last chance to catch up and the consequences if she defaulted. Simple.

[@DanD-lc1lh]

I have a theory to this whole movie, I think that Stu (the Asian guy) planned this whole entire thing. He knew that Christine would get the job as an assistant manager, so he hired an old gypsy woman to curse her, that way Christine can loose the job and Stu can win. So, the first thing Stu did was find a gypsy woman that had overdue payments, so he found Mrs. Ganush to do the job. Stu must of have offered her a lot of money, so Mrs. Ganush agreed to do it. After the events of the bank and the curse, Stu went to go and steal the paper work that Christine had so that way he can win the job more easily. After Mrs. Ganush died maybe Stu still gave money to the family but when Christine was at the café, she threatened him by giving him the button, and Stu pretended that he was all afraid because he knew that Christine would leave him alone. After Christine decided to not give him the button, Stu just decided to give up the job as assistant manager before Christine changes her mind.

[@esrapk]
