Starts as a great horror film... and then ends up as a slapstick comedy.

Rating: 6/10 (26 July 2009)

Drag Me To Hell has a strong opening, opening credits fit in with the whole story, good storyline and plot. Christine Brown is cursed by a gypsy woman and then has to get this evil spirit to forgive her before he drags her to hell.
But from the moment Christine is selling all her stuff to get money, it all goes downhill. She is attacked by this mad woman and it just happens an anvil is right above this mad woman's head, so lets cut the string which holds it up! Story short, it lands on the woman's head, eyes and gunk shoot at Christine opposite and the mad woman disappears.
And from then on all the scenes are hilarious! We have a mad goat calling Christine a b***, dancing and laughing spirits and extremely funny scared faces from many people.
And then it all ends extremely obviously with a case of mistaken identity and having to sit through painfully long scenes in a cemetery before they get back to the "surprise" that does not surprise you! On top of that, the wrong person is sent to hell in a missed opportunity of "I love you, I love you" and "here's a wedding ring to remember me by" *SCREAMS*.
It is still an entertaining film and I would recommend seeing it but do not expect proper horror. Sam Raimi has missed the target in this case.
I give it 6 out of 10
