I Didn't Like It Then, I Don't Like It Now

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2019)

I remember being so excited to see the latest Sam Raimi film, expecting something along the lines of Evil Dead, in terms of mixing horror and comedy. But what those films had that this film really misses - is a good lead actor/actress. Could they have found a more wooden actress with Alison Lohman? She was so unsympathetic, that I didn't care what was happening to her.
And speaking to what was happening to her, it was like watching Thinner, but with a haunting angle. And the jump scares were too repetitive. In fact, much of this movie felt cliched.
But I still go back to the main reason why this film doesn't work - Alison Lohman. She didn't have the charisma or sense of comic timing the way Bruce Campbell had. I'm not sure why Raimi picked her to be the lead.
Anyway, Drag Me To Hell is a movie that really should have a lower IMDB rating, I think people feel sorry for it, hence some of the higher scores. It's a dull, unscary, unfunny movie.
