great movie? or greatest? you decide.
....
ALRIGHT FINE
So Drag Me To Hell is the newest from Sam Raimi, acclaimed director of the Evil Dead and Spiderman films. after Spiderman 3, Raimi was understandably sour with Marvel Comics and thier hand in his movie, forcing him to include Venom due to fan pressure. so he ended up ruining it by throwing in a dance number and a chopped up, senseless script.
With Drag Me, Raimi has taken back the reigns and done something bold and new: he's gone back to the old days.
Drag Me is not a remake of a japanese or spanish horror movie, it does not include a great deal of gore and it does not take itself seriously at all. it is a horror comedy in the truest sense. and it's a fucking masterpiece. Raimi shows the audience he hasn't lost it, spinning a yarn about a bankwoman who is subject to a fucked up gypsy curse inwhich a goat demon haunts her for three days before dragging her eternal soul down to pandemoneum. you read all of that right.
Gypsie curse.
Hell.
Goat Demon.
and that is all you need to know. the movie thrives on it's simplicity, if it's not scaring the shit out of you with moody atmosphere followed closely by haunting brutality, it's cracking you up with sight gag after sight gag. the movie plays out like a female-led Evil Dead, and the girl really gets into it, even at one point spouting off "i'm gonna get some!" in true Bruce Campbell style.
if you love Sam Raimi, and you miss Evil Dead, get your ass to a theatre and see this movie. dont wait for DVD or Netflix, dont download it, this is straight-up, popcorn scarfing, flat-soda guzzling, jump in your seat movie magic, and it deserves your 10 bucks.
