Variety say that Alison Lohman will be the female cattle (I’m in a Hitchcock mood today) put to the slaughter in the supernatural chiller Drag Me to Hell, the film that marks Sam Raimi’s first return to the genre that made his name in eight years.

You will remember Lohman from her brilliant turn in the pretty awful movie Matchstick Men. She’s also had parts in Big Fish and last year’s Things We Lost in the Fire and the motion captured CGI Beowulf. She’s seven years older than Ellen Page but she doesn’t half look like the Juno actress and can herself age down for the part.

I liked her a lot in Matchstick Men. She didn’t come to mind like the actresses’ I spoke about yesterday but she seems like a decent choice. It’s such a shame about Page but if you squint a little, this photo makes Lohman look like Page with a blonde wig on!
