Roller-coaster.

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2009)

I had a really good time seeing this in the theatre. Anyone contemplating whether or not to wait until it comes out on DVD would really miss out on a great theatrical experience. I don't go to the theatre much anymore for a number of reasons but I'm glad I made it to this.
Raimi still has it. After the less than spectacular Spiderman films...okay, I liked the first one, I thought my Evil Dead director was "leaving us" so to speak but the trailers for 'Drag Me to Hell' looked promising so I took a chance and was honestly more than pleased.
My only complaint, like many others, was the use of CGI. This is where
the the spoils of Hollywood really hurt the film but over the past 5 years I've been forgiving genuinely good movies on account of the use of CGI. It's just that Raimi has shown us he can really make stop motion animation work for his films so in a way I felt a little cheated.
Aside from the CGI 'Drag Me to Hell' has got it all and more importantly it was fun to watch. I guess the one last thing I can say is that I was really, really, really hoping it would end a certain way and as flawed as it was to make it happen, it eventually did end the way I thought it should.
Thanks Sam.
