Drag me away from this movie!

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2015)

This movie perhaps is meant as a joke. I love the Evil Dead series by Sam Raimi, and my favorite is probably Evil Dead 2, which mixes gore, horror and Three Stoogies slapstick in a sublime way.
Yet Drag Me to Hell is just a long series of "jump scares"... often predictable and not very scary and after a while they become painfully boring.
The main lead, Alison Lohman, is so annoying you feel like you want to punch her in the face after seeing this movie. However it is probably not the actress fault but the guy who wrote and directed the movie. Yes looking at you Sam!
There is no horror in this horror movie. There are some disgusting scenes here and there and the omnipresent jump-scares but that's it.
The plot is stupid and stupidly cliché and the final "twist" can be seen from the very moment they set up for it, you'd think they secretly hired M. Night Shyamalan just to write that bit of the story.
The movie fails as an horror movie in every sense and as a comedy since it is boring and predictable.
I would accept it as a satire of contemporary horror movies, since it has all the bad clichés in it.
Like a reviewer here I also want to leave you with the leave you with the idiotic words of AV Club critic Scott Tobias: "He wants viewers to jump out of their chairs, to laugh and scream and cheer, and to nudge each other over the transcendent ridiculousness of what they're witnessing. This is junk film-making at its finest."
Yes, only problem is that the movie FAILS at what it wants to achieve and it's just plain junk (although more colorful expressions apply).
Also maybe Scott Tobias should check himself at a mental hospital. If he said that he's clearly crazy.
