Drag Me To Hell: Review
By: Movie-Cafe
When horror films these days are getting more dehydrates and fatigue, as they’re just move around with completely cliché plot, sadistic, nudity, and facts that they are just not that scary anymore. Thus, what formula that efficacious enough to drag the horror genre back to its reasonable form? If you demand the find the answer just like what I did, I think you better go to your nearest cinema and watch the ‘now showing’ horror, “Drag Me to Hell”. Why? Because, for me, this film is truly one of the answers that we’ve been waiting for, not only work as a jump in your seat scary movie, despite its PG-13 rating, but this is also an old school horror at its best. This film also has reminded me again on why I’m so in love with this genre. Directed by Sam Raimi who is now most well known for his three “Spider-Man” movies, “Drag Me” can be touted as his horror homecoming after many times ago he has created some cult classics including the first two in his “Evil Dead” trilogy. I'm really glad to see Raimi finally return to the genre that mad him famous and present his best work in years, which every horror fan is going to love it. Plus, if you want your date jumping into your lap, it’s really set to be the perfect choice for a night out. # The Creepshow brilliantly begin with the ‘80s Universal logo and a prologue that set in 1969, where a young Mexican boy seemingly possessed by demons is at the center of an exorcism that ends with him literally being pulled through the floor of the house by a demon from hell. Before you have time to catch your breath, the giant words DRAG ME TO HELL slam onto the screen, taking up every inch in bold lettering.
# Co-written with his brother Ivan, Sam Raimi’s script actually isn’t too original but it’s still manage to be an enormously enjoyable house of cinematic horrors that is at turns funny, campy, shocking, and scary.
