To quote Roger Ebert, "I hated this movie"

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2009)

There's nothing original about this movie. This exact story has been done many times now and "Drag Me" does nothing to expand upon it; it is purely derivative. Like virtually all PG-13 "horror" films, it also mistakes startling people with actually scaring them. The story elements that could be frightening are depicted with such tastelessness that they end up being cartoonish. The jump scenes this film depends on are all anticipated by as much as a full-minute of lead-up, at which point they are just self-indulgent and irritating. Truly the worst thing about this awful movie is the soundtrack. I can only imagine the conversation that lead to it, but it probably involved the creators admitting that the film was not frightening and in an attempt to compensate, they made every little thing as loud as possible to squeeze every last ounce out of each jump scene. This of course only makes the movie at times unbearable to sit though, and considering how trite the story is, I can safely say that it's not worth the headache. The only thing about this movie worth applauding is Justin Long's performance; he is very good and continues to show a lot of promise.
