Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi

[upsidedownwalrus]

I think this film looks bloody good, but unfortunately I find it hard to enjoy horror films just cos I don't like being scared

I often end up hiding behind my hands, I wish I could handle them though, I assume my friends will wana go to this so I will try my best to watch it

Non glory but shit-scary films like Devil's Backbone or The Others are fucking fantastic. I get an almost drug-like rush from the adrenaline.

(my favourite all time film is Mortal Kombat)

Wait....what?

As in, the one based on the computer game?

Yes.

Top film.

It's my guilty pleasure. I can recite the whole film word for word.

The 'shit films you like' thread's over that way!

Ah, but it's not shit though.

It's really well done. Honestly, sixth form media studies students will be studying this film in 20 years time.

I thought this said 'Drag Me to Hull'

Same thing, just less fun.

well i left the cinema buzzing and can't remember the last time i felt like that after watching a film.

Saw this last night. It's great much better than a gorefest. Sam Raimi is back on form.

Feel he was pushing it with the scary headscarf though.

Think I might go again next week, enjoyed it that much.

And amazingly quite free from references to either his earlier work or other horror films.

His trusty car was there. No Bruce though.

i have been to Hull and i was dragged there too

 

[Orang Utan]

there's nothing scary about this film, though it is certainly exciting

Ahh, of course!

 

[loud 1]

saw it today

loved it!

 

[El Sueno]

I thought it was great; well acted, well directed, creepy and funny. Bit gutted to hear some other lucky people got buttons though!

 

[strung out]

me and jtg thought it was a bit rubbish. by then end we were just giggling at the back at how ridiculous some of it was.

 

[electrogirl]

I'm going to see this tonight.

This film is funny, scary and brilliant. I enjoyed it every bit as much as when I first saw Armies of Darkness in the cinema - back then I had never seen a proper horror or zombie film before and it blew my mind. Now many years later and having seen it all before, I left Drag meto Hell with a broad smile on my face.

S'alright, not great. The funny stuff was a lot better than the scary stuff. Alison Lohman is hot.

Also, the twist is pants. Saw it from a mile off.

Spoiler: how the end should have been better

drag him off, not her

 

[Bassism]

Prob go see this if i can get someone to go with me

what did you think of it?

 

[Lionman]

Really liked it. Kind of felt like Sam Raimi being all "Sorry about Spiderman everyone. But it's ok, I'm doing horror again now". First time a scary movie has actually scared me in a long long time too.

 

[Random One]

i enjoyed it, it was good old fashioned horror film. didn't feel like it was all about the special effects...and even when you were expecting the scary stuff to happen still made you jump. worth a watch

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Good film! Question, did her boyfriend see her being dragged to hell or was he just traumatised by seeing her dying and only we saw her being pulled under?

 

[rikwakefield]

Best horror film I have seen for a long long time.

 

[bonjour]

Same here. Watched it yesterday. Hadn't heard much about it so wasn't expecting much. Made me laugh quite alot as well as be disgusted with it's hilarious effects. Very Evil Dead, but then you find out the director.

I'd say this is more refined of the same from evil dead, but with a different narrative. Gonna watch it again before I send it back, to consider whether I'd watch it in near future (tu purchase in dvd form)

But yes recommend, recommend!
It's not too serious, and it's not overly cheesy.

End how I started and as rikwakefield said ^
"Best horror film I have seen for a long long time"

I saw this tonight on DVD and thought that it started off being vary scary, but then became less scary as it moved into Evil Dead squelchy eyeballs territory (I always thought that the splatter gore elements of horror films are funny, like Tom and Jerry for grown ups). The last half hour or so was like an updated version of Night of the Demon 1957 (which was an excellent film marred only by the appearance of the demon - which was a bit shit - at the end).


All in all superior horror and I especially enjoyed the first half hour.
