Sam Raimi makes a welcome return to horror with a fun and silly horror comedy that is reminiscent of Raimi's Evil Dead series. The film uses its simple premise to unleash a barrage of jump scares, creative visual set pieces, and macabre humor. Once the plot gets going, it is one unending adrenaline ride to the (somewhat tragic) ending. |

You have to be deeply disturbed to enjoy this movie. Whoever wrote it should be committed.
I should have turned it off after the first act of animal cruelty. When the second seemed to be coming, I was done. I won't be finishing it.
This movie was just gross and the acting wasn't exactly good. Most of the "scary" parts are funny. It's filled with vomit, pathetic effects and of course a lame love story at the center of it all.
Being dragged to hell is about equivalent to watching this movie. It makes Paranormal Activity look like a masterpiece.

"Drag" Is the Word all right! |
|
Alison Lohmann plays Christine Brown, a loan officer who longs for the position of an assistant manager position. She is hoping to get a promotion, but faces competition from another, a male employee. She wants to convince her boss that she is "tough enough" to take on the responsibilities of the new position. Christine gets her chance to prove herself a tough decision maker when an old lady named Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) begs for a third extension to her overdue mortgage payment. Christine denies her the mortgage to seem more assertive and make a good impression to her boss Jim Jacks (David Paymer). But something's not right with the old Ganush crone, and after assaulting her in her car, Christine is cursed by the old woman to be sent to hell by demons within a few days. Now Christine, ... |

"Drag Me To Hell" by Yojimbo |
|
A young banker is cursed by an old gypsy woman and desperately tries to find a way to break the spell before she is consigned to the pit. Obviously owing much to the kinds of hokey horror compendium's produced by Hammer and the like, Drag Me To Hell is obviously Sam Raimi trying to return to his roots but this is no Evil Dead 2. It has a lot more in common with the likes of Poltergeist but Raimi's comic strip approach doesn't really sit well with that kind of earnest horror story and because of this it falls between two stools. It takes itself way too seriously to be fun but is too flip in its approach to be taken seriously and the flimsy plot makes it seem more like an extended episode of Creepshow than a feature. It certainly has its moments (I always enjoy a DIY midnight exhumation!) a... |

Drag Me to Hell review |
|
A child is taken by an unknown force from the ground. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) gets bothered by a begging Mrs. Ganush to have her loan approved. Ganush curses Christine in a parking lot. Clay Dalton (Justin Long) aids Christine to meet a fortune teller named Rham Jas (Dileep Rao). Christine then hallucinates and spills blood of Mr. Jacks his boss. Rham Jas and Christine visits Shaun San Dena to free the Lamia spirit. The score and background sounds of the film was spectacular and chilling. Ganush biting without her teeth and Christine bumping into her body was funny. So many hilarious and scary scenes rarely present in this genre. A few qualms I have are the few cartoonish effects and ludicrous scenes not related to the story. Drag me to Hell delivers with its skilled dir... |
