Drag Me to Hell, please.



Drag Me to Hell got fantastic reviews. No sir, Hell to Me Drag.  Haha!

The lead actress, tsk tsk tsk.  The word 'mousy' comes to mind.  Not a good thing, and since I don't want to fuck her, it doesn't stretch with me.  She handles the role fine but I wonder what the role would been like in the hands of someone a bit more capable.

Justin Long---You were awsome in Waiting, your disposable here but you knew that.  Why don't you make more movies with Kevin Smith?---Or another Waiting sequel?  The second one wasn't that bad.

Sam Rami---You directed all the Spiderman movies.  I forgive you because you directed all the Evil Dead movies.  Why you ever left the horror genre is beyond me.  You excel here.  This is your bread and butter.

This movie is actually good.  There are few negative things to say.  The lead actress was 'meh' but her style fit Rami's movie.  The scares were real and subdued, a change of pace from the popular snuff films (Saw, Hostel, etc.)  It was at times over the top (campy) like "Army of Darkness" but never comedic like AOD.  Blood and gore was sparse but there was still plenty of outright thrills.  As much as I hate to admit it, Drag Me to Hell deserves the love.
