So I was able to see the premier at the Chinese theatre in hollywood last night, and i went in with little to no expectations. This movie was awesome though, tons of chills but theres also a lot of humor in it ala Evil Dead. Now a lot of the scares in this movie are the startle scares, which normally bother me, but this movie is more lighthearted than your typical horror fest. It doesnt take itself too seriously; every scary part is tied together with little jokes that keep the whole film engaging from start to finish. Another thing I really enjoyed about the movie are the over the top "disgusting" scenes (you'll know what im talking about after you see it) you can almost picture Sam Raimi sitting in the editing room, laughing his *** off at your disgusted face. Im normally not a person for scary flicks, but this one has such an endearing charm to it that i cant help but stand and take notice. This film and restored my faith in the horror genre. Fantastic, scary, funny.

Drag Me To Hell looked like a complete joke when I first saw commercials on TV. It looks like a complete waste of time, dealing with terrible special effects and more gore than most people could handle. But then a PG-13 rating, and a little research on director Sam Raimi and his previous movies, I thought this movie might actually be ok. Drag Me To Hell is a nice change for horror movie fans as well as any movie goers. The plot is simple but unique which makes it very easy to enjoy. No one is left saying "huh?" or "how?", but just wow. Along with a fun and strange plot, it involves a likable cast, and a lot of scary or jumpy moments, leaving my girlfriends head between her knees throughout. This movie is a must go for horror movie fans and a go for any one looking for a fun movie to see this summer. Scary, funny, and unique qualities all make this movie very good.

Tues 5/26 - this evening I attended the advance press preview of this 99min movie directed by Sam Raimi (Spiderman 1/2/3). Sam Raimi delivered a over-the-top plot-thin 'horror' movie that has a few scary yet laughable scenes. Be prepared for serious incidences of GROSSNESS. I could not decided if I was more 'horrified' or revolted/disgusted. Most folks would likely find this movie entertaining - especially fans of Sam Raimi - but I was thankful that 1.5hr passed by relatively quickly and the movie was over and done with. I doubt that I could put up with anymore stomach-churning disgustingly gross scenes. Still - DRAG ME TO HELL is the most entertaining 'horror'/supernatural movie in recent times - especially compared to The Ruins, The Haunting, The Eye(US-remake), SAW 1/2/3/4/etc., et cetera. Special effects were so-so Make-up and sets = above-average. Our heroine - whatever-her-name-was - was just forgettable. VERDICT: Wait for the DVD - rental. Go if you must.

if you are one of the true Sam Raimi fans, who loves and appreciates movies such as The Evil Dead, and Army of Darkness, you will ADORE this movie. it is both hysterical and scary. seriously, i screamed out loud then peed my pants.... well, i didnt really pee my pants.

Reading the reviews of those that didn't like the movie, I question if they were fans of the "Evil Dead" series of films released during the 80's. This was classic Raimi; over-the-top, graphic, violent, gore & humor. This is not a serious horror flick as the previews may lead a non-Raimi fan to believe. I love the way Raimi injects humor into his scenes, even during a moment that leads you to believe will be scary. His characters make the obvious twist & turns entertaining throughout. The gross-out scenes are just that...GROSS! It will leave you turning your head from the screen and laughing at the same time. I understand Raimi is planning to remake "Evil Dead" and plans to release it in 2010. Count me as one who will be in line opening night.
