  Drag me to Hell is one of the better horror films to come out in recent years and it is a bit of a return to horror making form for Sam Faimi. It has a good mix of humour, back story, character development and a brilliant ending, usually the things that most of the recent cliched horror films lack or mess up. Dare I say it, there is an essence of Evil Dead about it but I did find the 'gross-out' scenes a little too heavy handed and in the end a little bit tiresome. I expected a lot worse but I was surprised and I loved the ending.

  If I loved films like I do now about 4 years ago, I would've went ballistic when I saw Sam Raimi at Forbidden Planet for this film's release. However, since I wasn't, I feel gutted that I missed that chance. To be honest I heard mixed views on this film; others were frightened, others didn't find it scary. Lets face it, this is Sam Raimi; the creator of 'The Evil Dead' Trilogy. If you're a film fan, you should know that there is bound to be some comical elements in Raimi's horror films. It's because of this, I enjoyed the film a lot more than I expected. Featuring superb scenes of ridiculous violence, this is highly recommended for Sam Raimi fans. Just one final thing to add: for some reason, the ending made me chuckle.

  This marked somewhat of a return to form for Sam Raimi, and, given that it came out after the conclusion of the immense Spider-Man trilogy, it was a nice breath of fresh air, especially since it was a far smaller affair. Christine Brown is a young and determined loan officer on the fast track to success. When she makes a tough decision which results in the eviction of an elderly lady, she finds herself victim to an evil curse, and finds she has only three days to persuade the dark spirit to relent, otherwise she'll be dragged to Hell to be tormented for all eternity. Pretty simple, basic plot, sure, but Raimi gets quite a bit of mileage out of it, and it really is a nice return of sorts to the darkly comedic tongue-in-cheek, horror schlock he cut his teeth on. He employs every kind of trick imaginable, and the result is a pretty fun and slick supernatural coaster ride. However, even though the film has a nice creepy vibe, it mostly relies on jump scares, shock moments, and gross outs instead of pure outright terror. Alison Lohman takes the lead, and she really gets put through the ringer here. She is also to be commended for doing her own stunt work as well. She gives a nice, and backing her up are Justin Long as Christine's supportive boyfriend, Dileep Rao as a spiritual advisor who tries to help her, and Lorna Raver as the old woman who unleashes the curse. She's the real breakout her, and makes for a quite creepy and memorable presence. It's a little tough at first who the audience should sympathize with, but the case is made for each side, and there is some development instead of just being a showcase for effects and directorial flair. It's not really anything more than light fare, but it does have a strong ending, and proves quite entertaining, so give it a shot.

  [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] It was made by the director of Spiderman and to be honest I wasn't surprised. It looked a lot like a mainstream horror flick. And I was proved right. Drag Me to Hell is nothing worth remembering, the idea much like the execution was highly average. I enthusiastically anticipated this film though because of the huge amounts of critic's that adored it and gave it nothing but praise. I'd be lying if I didn't say that I yawned a lot, and this was the main problem I had wih it. Not to say it wasn't entertaining at all. If you dont watch a lot of horror movie's and are a member of a mainstream audience im almost certain you'll enjoy it. The acting was absolutely brilliant and there were a couple times when I jumped. But very, very few. Just dont watch it with extremely high expectations like I did. Meh. It was alright, but it was just a bit rubbish.

  Drag Me To Hell is Sam Raimi's first horror picture since 1992's Army Of Darkness has been hailed by critics as one of the best horror films in recent memory. For Me, I thought most of the film was very silly at times and the film relied too much on gross-out Horror. However the film did provide some jump scares and it was somewhat entertaining despite the flaws, but to call it the best Horror film of the year is very overrated. I felt disappointed by this effort by Sam Raimi which I admire as a talented director and I highly enjoyed the Evil Dead films. however, Drag Me To Hell didn't deliver what I expected. I felt it was over hyped. Considering Raimi has been capable of so much more, this is a surprisingly average horror film that delivers on the gross out horror elements and jump scares. My thoughts on jump scares is that they're effective, but I much prefer a strong atmospheric horror film where you really don't know what will happen, and when something scary will happen. Drag Me to Hell had scary moments, but it only lasted for a certain period of time. For example, there was one jump scare that made you feel uneasy, but immediately afterwards the fear drifted away and it just didn't have the powerful elements that made The Evil Dead series such a unique film to watch. I enjoyed, but I've seen so much better than this, and really this film relies more on jump scares and gross out moments to try and terrify you, thus it's not as good as I would hope. The film lacked a slow, tense atmosphere which would make films like this stand out. Unfortunately Sam Raimi has been out of the horror game for far too long, and is clearly struggling with great material here. Enjoyable film, but not the greatest horror film to out in a long time as every critic has claimed it to be.

  Sam Raimi is trying so very hard to go back to his 80's old-school horror roots, but only thing that Drag Me to Hell confirms is that Raimi has lost touch as a director, and all he has to deliver here is lots of cheap scares and bad CGI. Stylistically this is close cousin to Evil Dead, but it lacks the creative craziness of it and wacko humor it had. It is so frustrating to see that Raimi definetly has a eye for wonderful images and all the potential to create something truly spooky, but he spoils it all with childish effects that are at the same time downright cheesy. I loved that eerie scene in the graveyard and those genuinenly creepy encounters with Lamia-demon in Christine's house, but all in all this is just a huge disappointment.

  The closest thing we'll get to another great Evil Dead movie.

  Sam Raimi's return to horror has both gross-out and satirical twists, but it is not a disappointment. It is simply a fun, supernatural roller coaster ride. Director Sam Raimi made mainstream success in the 1980s and 1990s with the ultra-gory, low-budget cult horror EVIL DEAD trilogy. But by 2002, he had decided to take a break from this with another, more family-friendly trilogy (SPIDER-MAN). In 2009, it was made clear that Raimi had abandoned his superhero saga (it's being rebooted from a different director) for DRAG ME TO HELL, a "welcome back" sort of film. The film is PG-13, unlike THE EVIL DEAD, but that was Raimi's intention. Granted, it's occasionally fairly gory, often for comical purposes (i.e. the scene when an eyeball protrudes from Christine's slice of "harvest cake", and she stabs it with her fork to get rid of it), but the whole game Mr. Raimi was playing with his audience was to go horrific without making a gore-fest of a film like he did with THE EVIL DEAD. Overall, this is truly no SPIDER-MAN, but it is not as gruesome as SAW either. It's a romping, hysterical, supernatural slasher-lite that will never fail to make you scream or jump. And when it does, the laughs are cheap but deserving.

• Graham J

  
  A thrilling and hilarious film that will make you jump out of your seat just as many times as it will make you laugh hysterically. I thought Raimi had forgotten his Evil Dead chops.

  It's beyond me how everyone thinks this film is good! It's seriously stupid....and I never use the word stupid to describe films.

  Drag Me To hell is one of my favorite horror films and is the best pop out horror film to date. The plot was actually interesting and twisted like Saw. The cast was great and just as cheesy as I love in a horror movie. They claim this to be a comedy, and as I watch it twice I see that they secretly put in moments that are so ridiculous that we are supposed to laugh, which I did. The horror was great, I loved the pop out moments, I am a sucker for pop out horror films. This movie is great, I recommend it to all horror fans.

  Thoroughly entertaining comic horror and a welcome return to the horror genre for Sam Raimi. The film centers around a female loan officer who has a curse placed on her by a gypsey woman who was refused an extension on her house loan thus making her homeless - the curse will see the poor loan officer being dragged to hell in three days! It's one of those rare films that's actual funny and quite scary at the same time, something I haven't experienced since the same directors Evil Dead films. It may not be as gory as the Evil Dead but there are some grossly humourous moments and some great make-up and effects work. Real good fun, definitely worth watching!

• Matt G

  
  Very original film with plenty of thrills and chills to satisfy you. I loved it. Evil Dead and campy horror fans will be happy, highly recommend.

  One of the scariest films I've seen in a while! The old lady was extremely frightening and when she started tapping her long nails across the desk I already started having horrible shivers down my spine. A must see!

• Randy T

  
  Tongue-in-cheek horror that never takes itself too seriously. <i>*SEE ALSO</i>: The Frighteners, Army of Darkness, Ding Dong You're Dead, etc.

  Absolutely preposterous in every way. Go see it now. Seriously.

  A young banker is cursed by an old gypsy woman and desperately tries to find a way to break the spell before she is consigned to the pit. Obviously owing much to the kinds of hokey horror compendium's produced by Hammer and the like, Drag Me To Hell is obviously Sam Raimi trying to return to his roots but this is no Evil Dead 2. It has a lot more in common with the likes of Poltergeist but Raimi's comic strip approach doesn't really sit well with that kind of earnest horror story and because of this it falls between two stools. It takes itself way too seriously to be fun but is too flip in its approach to be taken seriously and the flimsy plot makes it seem more like an extended episode of Creepshow than a feature. It certainly has its moments (I always enjoy a DIY midnight exhumation!) and is way better than 99% of the dozens of lame ass horror films that seem to get released every year, but it's far from classic Raimi.

  The best horror film since the Evil Dead Trilogy. Sam Raimi's tell tale style is stamped all over this, injecting large amounts of slapstick comedy into a graphic and at times sickening horror. Alison Lohman puts in a fantastic performance as the hapless lead, cursed by an old gypsy woman for refusing to extend her loan with the bank and now damned to be 'dragged to hell' in 3 days time by a force of darkness. Don't be put off by the billing of Justin Long, hes not in it that much.

  A very original and scary movie. It's got jump scares but there effective. It's also kind of funny too but in a good way. A-
