I LIKED IT. absolutely not at good as evil dead or even close but it was entertaining and at least it had a few classic raimi scenes. i watched it and i didnt know it was sam untill afterwards. I think your problem was your expectations of the film.

Well said, but I think Lohman brought very little T and almost no A. You’re right on about it being a “bad moral play” and I would have never have thought to compare Sam Raimi to the Jonas Brothers.

The problem with this film is Sam Raimi. His earlier efforts were awesome and inspiring while Drag Me To Hell is more like a bad moral play with the same tired old tricks that worked magic on audiences years and years ago. Raimi is the film papa that needs a brand new bag. And what’s up with making Justin Long the straight man? As proved in Idiocracy Long has excellent comedy chops. DMTH is a waste of his talent, a role any no name actor could have filled just as easily. Lohman brings very little to flick other than a pretty face and the obligatory T&A factor. The slobberingly positive reaction of the critics and fan masses who adore this misstep of Raimi’s reminds me simply of the Jonas Brothers mania amongst prepubescent girls. Give them candy and they will come. Well I, for one, was expecting a full course of meal of comedy horror delight and this movie didn’t deliver.

I think you really missed the point… or you really wanted to hate it. You are supposed to lose your sympathy for her as the picture goes on.

i think people are thinking way too deep into what the movie is suppose to actually be. it’s suppose to entertain you. and that, it did. it wasn’t as scary… but it did make you jump. i enjoyed the movie. it’s just a shame that people are shutting it down for what raimi could finally do with this movie (effects) that he couldnt with his others.

[...] Shaun of the Dead – One of my favorite films to be sure, but I didn’t want to include horror-comedy here. Also in this category would be Slither, and some would argue The Host, though I don’t view that as a horror film. Don’t even get me started on Drag Me to Hell. [...]

I saw this movie last weekend after reading on NUMEROUS movie sites that it was getting 4/5, 5/5. ‘best horror movie in years’

reviews and commenters were saying how great it is.

Not that great of a movie.

Take raimi out and yea. this movie wouldn’t be getting anywhere NEAR the press it’s getting.

It did have funny moments, but im sorry i go to horror to be scared not to laugh. thats what comedy’s are for.

there WAS nothing remotely scary in this just some gross out moments.

All in all I should have seen something else (apparently Pontypool, which is getting NO press b/c of the huge hard on for Drag me to hell, is a truly scary/terror driven, pyschological horror flick. So I’ll have to check that when I can.)
