This Is Sam's Money Shot — No Spoilers, Just Shock & Awe

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2009)

"Drag Me to Hell" was, I think, the perfect horror film... With this film, Sam Raimi has demonstrated that he is a master. Not just "a" master, but "THE" Master of Horror.
Raimi kept me in the roller-coaster from beginning to end, he was scaring me even when I didn't need to be scared, he had me scared for the little Spanish kid, then scared for the safety of a kitten; then scared that the guy's parents wouldn't like the girl, then scared of the job hierarchy at the girl's workplace. Sheesh. It was FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, TREPIDATION, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR... Sam Raimi immersed me in FEAR from beginning to end.
It was masterful. Effective. Hoo-boy, effective. I am saying that this film is technically, cinematically, musically, everthingly TIGHT and PERFECT. A beautiful film, timed down to the nanosecond, expertly crafted, and scary as hell.
This is the movie I wanted to see Raimi do after Evil Dead 2...seriously.
