Drag Me to Hell

Pros: Well written and directed, good acting, humor and horror to just the right degree
Cons: none

The "Preacher Ed" I am referring to in my title is fellow Epinions writer Ed Williamson who is retiring from preaching after over 30 years in the pulpit.  Actually, he did not drag me to this film but we agreed to go see it rather reluctantly last ...

Pros: The conclusion was unexpected
Cons: Gross, poor special effects, horrible acting, trite dialouge, dumb plot, etc.

Ah, how to describe this heaping pile of odiferous excrement? Is stinkyocity a word? If not, it most certainly should be. My boyfriend and I have recently gotten into a theater kick, checking out the latest movies armed with sodas and (in my case) ...

Pros: A little humor, a lot of suspense, and thrills that will make you jump.
Cons: Justin Long was not utilized well.

Drag Me to Hell. (2009) Directed by Sam RaimiSam Raimi returns to horror.  It's kind of a big thing.  Drag me to hell is the story of Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) a loan officer at a bank.  She is hoping to ...

Pros: Sam Raimi knows what works in this genre, and he delivers!
Cons: Justin Long looks a bit lost in his performance.

With nearly every critic giving it a “thumbs-up” and the implication being that Sam Raimi shows all other directors “how it’s done,” I went into DRAG ME TO HELL with my expectations set pretty high.  I love a good ...

Pros: If you liked Raimi's Evil Dead movies you'll probably like this
Cons: two dimensional characters, so-so script.  Not scary.

Reasons to see Drag Me To Hell 1. Sam Raimi directed. He hasn’t directed a horror movie in many years and that’s good news for his fans. 2. It’s not a slasher or torture porn kind of horror movie 3. ...

Pros: Cult director, Not bloody and gory, Funny and scary
Cons: Grossed me out at times [think body fluids and I’m not talking about blood]

I was really excited when I heard that Sam Raimi, writer/director for the Evil Dead movies, also wrote and directed Drag Me to Hell.  With this in mind, I went into the movie expecting a somewhat comical type of horror movie and that ...

Pros: A fast-paced, lean, well-directed and reasonably entertaining film; Lorna Raver
Cons: Silly, loosely plotted, and goes south after its fantastic first twenty minutes

I am a really paranoid consumer, and whenever something gets heralded as a ‘return to form' my Spidey sense starts tingling. This unfortunate affliction strikes me down on both music and film; I got a bad case of it last year when R.E.M.'s ...

Pros: Clever twists, clever plot, decent believable acting.
Cons: Much too LOUD.

Ahoy, there be SPOILERS ahead!! This was part of my movie double feature last weekend. I was not particularly wanting to see it as I am sort of a "‘fraidy cat" when it comes to horror movies. However, pickings were slim and this actually looked ...

Pros: Fun, basic horror.
Cons: It is what it is.

With Drag Me to Hell, Sam Raimi returns to the kind of funhouse horror that got him started as a director in the first place. The movie stars Alison Lohman as Christine Brown, a bank loan officer with her eye on the assistant manager's position. ...

Pros: good story, solid acting, fun but not too silly, some effective jump-scenes
Cons: some cartoonish effects and Raimi's annoying insistence on having possessed inanimate objects in films

Drag Me To Hell is director Sam Raimi's first return to the horror genre since making 1992's Army of Darkness, the third film in his Evil Dead trilogy. Those not familiar with the Evil Dead series will probably know Raimi from his blockbuster Spider Man ...

Pros: uniquely written, memorably scary.
Cons: Mixes horror and humor, which seldom works.

To some of us, it’s a sad truth that mankind has not outgrown his craving for belief in the supernatural. This craving very often spills over into our choice of movies. Movies with supernatural themes can be big hits or otherwise held in high ...

Pros: great story, scary enough, suspenseful
Cons: very loud, no Bruce Campbell

I am not a fan of horror movies.  However, I have enjoyed Sam Raimi's previous horror flicks so I thought I'd check it out.  Because it is in theaters at the same time as movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, ...

Pros: Ok acting, some good effects
Cons: Not all that scary.

OK so this was a fairly good horror movie, not the best I have ever seen. There was only one actually 'scary' part, the rest were, you know the kind where the scary thing pops out, you kind of expect it but it's still a little bit scary anyway. Well on ...

Pros: Some scary parts. Old lady was the creepiest, and the scariest. Good acting as well.
Cons: Most of the film was just  stupid. The directors could of done better.

It wasn't as I expected it to be. I mean there was some good parts, but over all it was just plain stupid. Well thats my opinion. If you like lame horror movies like this one, then see this stupid horror film.
