Review of Drag Me to Hell (2009) by Alfonso R — 19 Sep 2013
Drag Me To Hell is an entertaining return to horror from Sam Raimi about a pretty young bank employee who pisses off the wrong gypsy and gets a nasty demonic entity sent her way. Poor Christine (Alison Lohman) has just three days to find a way out of this curse as her supernatural stalker gets stronger and stronger in it's pursuit of her soul.
More fun then scary, it's like a carnival funhouse with it's jump scares, loud noises and CGI phantoms that jump out at you without warning. And much like a funhouse it's all phoney but, we play along anyway for the sake of entertaining ourselves.
.. and that's what Sam Raimi is counting on. And just so we don't forget it's all for entertainment, there's plenty of gross out laughs to relieve us from all the jump scares ringmaster Raimi pulls out of his hat.
A fun horror flick that makes you jump and giggle and usually at the same time. Also stars Justin Long as her disbelieving boyfriend and a creepy Lorna Raver as the vengeful gypsy.
