The Scene In Drag Me To Hell That Gets Fans Laughing Every Time

Midway through the film, protagonist Christine Brown manages to track down a trustworthy mystic willing to help lift her curse. As is par for the course in a film of this nature, they enlist the help of another powerful medium named Shaun San Dena (Adriana Barraza) and stage a séance to help deter the demon haunting Christine's every waking moment. Of course, more than one person gets possessed by the demon and, in an act of comedic brilliance, Sam Raimi briefly puts the demon in the body of a goat. The goat, now capable of speech, immediately bleats out a barrage of foul insults with enough force to floor any viewer.

In a recent Reddit post discussing the film in general, fans of the film reminisced on how shocking, and utterly laughable the whole sequence was. "Honestly I was terrified when I saw this movie up until the goat scene," wrote one redditor. "Then I was in hysterics." "I saw Drag Me to Hell when I was a kid, and the talking goat thing at the end had me crying with laughter," another user commented. From then on, the film seems less scary. In many ways, the goat scene is the moment at which viewers realize that what they're watching isn't for fear, it's for fun. Like a campy B-movie, the joy is in seeing just how absurd this can get, except that it comes off as intentional instead of amateur.
