    The persistent, pesky fly in the movie "Drag Me to Hell" is a brief but telling nod to the fourth wall - and the spirit of Raimi, whose spoofy art and artifice allow us to laugh at horror.

    You know there's a curse on when a fly lands on Alison's face and strolls into one nostril and out the other. The fly was trademark vintage Evil Dead 2-style Raimi on full display.
