Is Todorov's Theory Demonstrated in Drag me to Hell?
The film trailer starts with calming music to enhance the sense of the equilibrium being in balance. Christine is having a conversation with her boss at work, so they are in a normal setting and the equilibrium is still apparent. An elderly woman called Mrs Gaunush turns up Christine’s workplace asking for an extension on her mortgage payment but is refused as this is not first time. Mrs Gaunush starts to beg and holds on to Christine’s leg. Christine calls for security and Mrs Gaunush falls, this is when the agent of change occurs and after this a series of events start to happen to Christine which pushes her into finding a resolution by seeking help from Rham Jas. Even though not shown in the trailer, the second clip shows the ending. The audience are tricked into feeling that the equilibrium is back in place but it is not as Christine is dragged into hell.
