Review of Drag Me to Hell (2009) by Luke K — 01 Nov 2015
Sam Raimi's long-awaited return to horror was seen in 2009 with Drag me to Hell, and his unique approach to horror was finally realised in a modern context. Drag me to Hell is an amazing film, tapping into that distinctive Raimi magic that has not been seen since Evil Dead 2.
Ridiculous, over-the-top, hilarious, scary and most importantly fun, this film is a non-stop ride of gross-out imagery, infectious campiness and old school horror.
Raimi's ability to blend absurd, slapstick humour with genuine horror, eliciting simultaneous laughter and unease, was unique in 1981 with The Evil Dead and is still unique and fresh today. Modern horror has been lacking these kind of films, and Drag me to Hell was a welcomed and effective horror film that is a truly unique experience.
