I get the horror part, but I didn't see much comedy

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2010)

(This review may contain Spoilers) Before I start, I should let you know that I have never seen the Spiderman Trilogy, or the Evil Dead Trilogy, so I am unfimiliar with Sam Rami's work.
I bought Drag me to Hell at Wal-mart remembering that I had heard great things about it, calling it one of the best horror-comedy's ever made. Was it? Well, the short answer is, no. One reason, it wasn't funny. I get that it was supposed to be campy, and there were a few humorous parts, but overall, it just wasn't the laugh-out-loud comedy I was hoping for. Two things really ruined the comedy for me. One was the death of the kitten, I mean come on, a kitten, that would be if the movie stopped, came to you, and hit you in the stomach. The second was the ending, I can't see the funny in a nice woman being dragged down to Hell, to burn for eternity. Just to be clear, she never did anything wrong, and she is being punished with everlasting pain and suffering. Unless they make a sequel with her being a stripper, or being whiner to the devil, I can't see it ever becoming a comedy.
But it definitely works as a horror film. So if you want to watch Drag me to Hell, I suggest not expecting many laughs.
