Laughably bad

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2009)

Evil Dead 2 had me gripped, scared, feeling a little (ok, a lot) sick & laughing along with Sam Raimi in horrified glee. Drag Me To Hell simply had me laughing at Sam Raimi.
In what seems to be an effort to recapture the gloriously dark freewheeling anarchy of Evil Dead 2, Drag Me To Hell just felt forced & over the top. There was no genuine creepiness, shock or horror, just a lot of derivative & repetitive schlock.
Considering the viscera Mr Raimi has happily served up, the cat sacrificing side-step was a puzzler. Well before the end the final twist was as obvious as a high speed train (!) & as for the goat, that's where words fail me.
