December 13, 2009Ok, everyone was like AHH GO SEE THIS! its the return of sam rami!! we love it!! This movie is cheap, cheasey, and chaotic! More of a laugh fest than a horror. Totally predictable as well...

November 22, 2009A stylish, witty, and highly entertaining little horror romp with just the right amount of horror, humour, and gross out. This is Raimi back in top form, doing what he does best!
Highly recommended. -
November 22, 2009Homage to old school horror from Raimi which starts promisingly but descends into mumbo jumbo. Nice set pieces and stirling work from Lohman can't hide a plot twist so obvious it might as well have been written large across the screen. Missed opportunity.

November 15, 2009I had high expectations for Sam Raimi's return to horror, but I was disappointed.
-
December 26, 2009Wish I could give this 3 stars for the creepy 1st third of the movie and the ending, but I can only handle so many "barf in another person's mouth" scenes before it gets old.

December 25, 2009"The most awesome, crazy, fun, insane, hilarious and scary horror flick i've seen. Alison Lohman does great as the lead (she's a very talented actress and loved her since White Oleander). This is what the horror genre needed. Thanks, Sam Raimi."

December 24, 2009i wasn't sure what to expect from Raimi after the flop that was Spider-man 3 (Thomas Hayden Church excluded) but I have to say he really did a fantastic job of digging up his old horror roots. From the signature camera work found in his Evil Dead films to his balance of wit and c...( read more)

The looseness Raimi allows himself here results in an especially joyous kind of filmmaking, the sort where the filmmaker's delight in scaring us (and making us laugh) becomes part of the movie's fabric. full review

Is it as hilarious as the Evil Deads? Almost. full review

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
One of the best horror films to be seen in many years. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
There's no truth in the title. Drag Me to Hell is horror-movie heaven. full review
May 28, 2009
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The characters are solid, the shocks are grab-your-heart-medicine scary, the story glides from twist to twist with diabolical grace. And it's damned funny. full review
May 28, 2009
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
With the same twisted humor Raimi displayed in Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, his Drag Me to Hell is wickedly jolly and disturbingly frightening -- often at the same time. full review

December 5, 2009Really really disappointing. The acting was good (Allison Lohman,Justin Long) but the "special effects" were so cheesy, over the top, and a failed attempt at comedic gore that it was almost unwatchable. The lines between comedy and horror blurred enough to give me a headache, and the story went from well-written scares to low-budget stupidity seemingly written by a pre-teen boy, too fast to keep track of. Add an ending that we all saw coming in the saddest most predictable way, and you have a failure of a movie with some great casting.

October 20, 2009I don't think I jumped out of my chair this many times before. And I love that (intended or not) homage to CARRIE.

June 12, 2009One of the least boring horrors I ever seen.
So sick of horrors that take themselves WAY too serious. It get's to the point you laugh at the movie, and the Director wasn't aiming for laughs. With this movie you laugh, however the Director wanted it. Great movie. -
June 12, 2009i absolutly love horror films, when they are scary, this movie sucked. it was one of the worst ones i have seen. this is some stupid underground made movie and it shoulda stayed there as well.
-
June 7, 2009Absolute crap from start to finish. So much for Sam Raimi ever being considered a horror director again. Very disappointing.
