Rescue Her From Hell

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2010)

Raimi does it once again by brilliantly mixing his ingredients of comedy, suspense and horror in the form of 'Drag Me To Hell'. What I liked about this is that even though the film is 'primarily' a horror film, the humour does not interfere with the story and the comic timing is just excellent. 'Drag Me To Hell' is quite well made. The editing, the cinematography, the sound effects and the visual effects are solid. The writing too is top notch as the characters are well defined and the story and dialogues are coherent. There are plenty of effective twists and jumps which make for more entertaining viewing. Lorna Raver is great as the hideous and horrifying Mrs. Ganush. Justin Long is good as Christine's loving boyfriend. Adriana Barraza leaves a mark with a small role. 'Drag Me To Hell' is carried by Alison Lohman who does quite a fantastic job. She may be an actress who's maintained a low profile as a result of which she remains underrated but at the same time, compared to most of her contemporaries, she's made some of the most interesting and diverse choices of films. She easily makes the viewer sympathize for Christina and we do vouch for Christina's salvation. Raimi has made a clever piece of entertaining cinema that has been a lot of fun to watch.
