naadey Anti climatic when you realize it's totally comedy guising as a Horror

cricketbat Drag Me to Hell is one fun horror movie! It has some predictable moments but, for the most part, it is quite unique. Sam Raimi does a good job of adding humor without diminishing the terror. This movie does not rely on blood and gore for the scares and it was refreshing to see a movie that deals with the demonic, but never becomes satanic. I definitely want to see this one again.

shannen-l-c 'Drag Me to Hell' is far and above one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). I first saw it in the cinema as a teenager but didn't remember much about it so decided to re-watch it. Upon my second viewing I realised why I didn't remember anything about it - there's nothing worth remembering! This movie is hideous from start to finish. The attempts to shock are funny rather than scary (although there are some sites that categorise this as a comedy-horror, so perhaps that's its intention?) and the plot is so over-done and cliche that it's barely worth watching.The lead, Christine, is annoying and impossible to sympathise with. Before it's even half way through I found myself wishing she would die already just to save myself from the pain. This is concerning, since she's actually not a bad person and the curse that's placed upon her is done for a rather stupid reason, in my opinion. I was so bored that I stopped paying attention during parts, but the ending scene really was the cherry on top. The awful CGI really was laughable and just re-affirmed to me how stupid this whole movie was. I have no idea how this has got above a 3 star rating, because even that's generous.

herzigmary Drag Me to Hell is a horror movie directed and written by Sam Raimi about loan officer named Christine Brown who evicts an old gypsy woman from her home, ultimately refusing to give her an extension. Seeking vengeance on her, the old woman curses Christine to be tortured by an evil spirit and eventually dragged into hell. Christine has to figure out how to lift the curse before its too late. The film at times can be very over the top, such as the scene when the old woman attacks Christine in the car. It becomes especially over the top when more disturbing scenes come up, kike gore scenes or the séance scene. However, I found myself curious to know what happens next, and invested in the main character's plight. The writing is pretty good, and the overall direction is spot on. The actors, especially the lead, carry the film very well. Overall, it was a strange experience an interesting view on paranormal horror.
