Short Review of Drag Me To Hell

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2009)

Overall, I really enjoyed myself. I felt the advertising was a bit misleading on this one though, as it was more Evil Dead 2 than Evil Dead (meaning, more of a comic horror movie as opposed to a straight up horror film). I won't hold the adverts against the movie though, start to finish is was pretty enjoyable with plenty of a laugh out loud or OMG moments. We even had one stupid girl walk out on the movie (she saw a goat, and she couldn't handle what was or wasn't about to happen to it!). I see TONS of horror movies every year, and this was a nice refreshing change of pace back to Sam's older movies, or Peter Jackson's. As a straight up horror movie, this one has its fair share of scares, but I think it works better as a kind of tongue in cheek horror movie.
You want fun/GROSS/horror, go see Drag Me To Hell!
