Do watch Drag Me To Hell - but watch Night Of The Demon as well

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2014)

I just watched this film and found it very enjoyable with a good picture and also quite a few "chilling" and scary moments - the surround sound track was also good with plenty of odd noises and effects coming from the rear channels - I have to admit to having a grin on my face during most of the movie.
I would agree with other reviewers that this is a new classic well worth the watching - However - It is not really all that "NEW" because it is clearly a reworking of the 1957 B&W Classic "Night/Curse of the Demon" starring Dana Andrews.
Of course there are plenty of deviations from this earlier film but the basic premise is the same - a Curse is delivered - Things proceed to get worse - The only way out is to return the token holding the curse - the victim comes to a sticky end on a railway line.
Don't get me wrong - I think "Drag Me To Hell" is a good entertaining movie - but I think its roots in "Curse of the Demon" should also be acknowledged.
