Walking out of the theatre, someone said “that movie was kind of like a comedy, there were some funny parts and stuff.”  Apparently he had never seen any of the Evil Dead movies.

Drag Me to Hell is a spectacular demonstration of why the Raimi brothers are known for their offbeat, campy and addictive horror flicks.  This is the best true horror movie to be released over the past 20 years.  With a perfect amount of camp and cheese, coupled with Sam and Ivan’s uncanny ability to pace a relentless storytelling feast, Drag Me to Hell is sure to excite all of the Raimis’ rabid fanbase.

Surprisingly, this was not Evil Dead 4, but a totally new story.  A little less funny and a little more excitement driven, Drag Me to Hell embodied the best of what Evil Dead had to offer, but without the Necronomicon Ex Mortis and all of the trappings that came along for the ride.  Instead, the viewer gets pulled, kicking and screaming, through a ruthless assault applying the best techniques in good horror to the worst cliches the Raimis could muster.  Drag Me to Hell is a Raimi roudhouse punch to the sorry state of the horror movie world.
