Could have been better...

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2009)

I watched "Evil Dead 1, 2 and Army of Darkness" like everyone else. I watched it so many times I did not ever want to see it again (my brother thought they were the best movies ever made and being young having only one television he was the oldest and biggest so he got his way. He bought them and watched it over and over). This movie didn't have the qualities I think those movies had. They were funny, unique, the special affects in those I think watching now are still entertaining. Those movies were always exciting. "Drag me to hell" was a big dragging in some parts. I wanted bigger shocks, something even more unique but I was let down. It wasn't scary, it focused on her just trying to save herself with a few things popping up but nothing that left an impression. The twist at the end even though a bit predictable was better then most movies who try to make it a happy ending. There was many opportunities left out that could have added scares, or even something strange. The "good girl" turned desperate was I think acted well. The boyfriend Clay acting extremely nice was nothing special. But no characters that left a deep impression. The "good girl" who just behaves bad once is punished and doesn't have her happy ending.
It was a good story and idea but it didn't show it's full potential.
