Better than I'd Expected

Rating: 6/10 (25 March 2011)

Checked "Drag Me to Hell" out from the library expecting a cheese-fest, but was pleasantly surprised to find a serviceable story within a fairly well-done horror. The acting overall is satisfactory, not great - but what were you expecting with such a bad title(?). While the movie's story seems to be a variant of those seen before, the horror and scares depicted are often competently put together. (spoiler) The only scene I thought was way over-the-top was the car-fight scene. Yes the car-fight had a stamp of Raimi about it, but I guess you cant help your innate tendencies as a director in whatever you're doing. Both Lohman and Long are OK co-Stars, but may be better suited for supporting leads as evidenced in better prior movies. Enjoyed the Ending. Recommended for the Horror genre definitely.
