Terrible Actress

Yep. I finally got a chance to see this movie after hearing all the raves and I'm totally distracted by her TERRIBLE performance. Even Justin Long was bad, which may be because together, they had ZERO chemistry. I kept thinking she looks like a little girl pretending to be a (young) woman. Not believable in the role at. all. I just saw The Unborn with Odette Yustman and she was much more believable as a young woman in peril, definitely a better actress.
The fact that she doesn't have any recent roles lined up says enough for me.

Sorry folksI know her works, I've seen her in other roles so I'm not judging her (studidly) from just DMTH. Maybe it's because I haven't seen her in any recent roles and she just doesn't stand out as being particularly memorable.
If she's so good, her agent needs to get on the ball and get her some work. Maybe if she comes back in a couple of years I'll take her seriously as a good actor ; ) Oh, yeah. Do the Scarlett Johanssen thing and go slutty, or change the color of her hair

- What does the budget of the movie have to do with anything?
- What's good about "generic"?
- What do her features have to do with how good an actress she is?
- The IMDB page for the movie lists the casting department. Shouldn't you be asking them why she was cast? I doubt any of us here have any inside information about their decisions, but I suspect that a lot of it has to do with that
- She looks younger than her age, and that kind of innocent appearance goes a long way in a movie where an audience has to sympathize with a character who's made a very questionable moral decision.
- I thought she carried the role very well, especially considering the amount of stuntwork she had to do. That's a demanding role, and a lot of actresses won't take a part like that, as it means that they won't be looking pretty all the time. She threw herself into it with a lot of gusto, and I don't think there are many other actresses who would have pulled that role off so well.
- Troll.

Great actors/actresses shouldn't need to prove themselves more than once. Think Robert DeNiro, impeccable in almost all of his early work, and most of films in the middle of his career (ill admit that he sucked massivley in Meet the children). This was her biggest film and she failed to perform so why would I bother with her other movies

Watch Matchstick Men and she out acts Nicolas Cage by a mile and potentially Sam Rockwell.
No, she really doesn't. When I was younger, I thought she was fairly talented, but after re-visiting
Matchstick Men
just a few weeks ago after not having seen it in a few years, she is not that good at all, especially when it comes to her crying scenes. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I studied a lot more intensively since I first saw her films when I was quite young, something that makes me more picky these days, but I just know I don't find her nearly as great as I used to.

Dunno, but agree she was awful in there. Almost ruined the film for me. Very sweet and likable girl but not fitting for that kind of role. Most of the time she didn't look and feel scared at all or was sleepwalking the lines.

She phoned it in for Drag Me To Hell (I don't think she was supposed to bring her A game for this one anyway since the film is a nod to B horror films) but brought it in Matchstick Men and White Oleander. Geez give her a break it's one frickin' movie and you all are judging her. Judge her on an entire body of work, not one film.

I'll put it this way; Alison Lohman was to Big Fish and Matchstick Men what Ben Affleck was to Chasing Amy. All great movies, but not because of them.

Honestly, I didn't know her at all in any of the previous movies she starred, but really, all I can say that she did a brilliant job in this movie. IMO, she acted so well, that a lot of people could sympathize her feeling (how scare or anxious she was in the movie) or condition in the movie, including me. Now I admire her, but too bad she doesn't have any upcoming movies.

Obviously you don't have to like the film, Drag Me To Hell, there ain't nothing out there that's meant for for everybody, but you do need to understand one thing; the film is meant to be tongue in cheek, in fact, her role was tremendously reminiscent of Bruce Campbell in the Evil Dead series, be it obviously, not as extreme. But this is not a coincidence, Raimi is a fan of goofy, slap stick humor, and shot a film as such, and in that sense, she did a tremendous job.
