So it's the summer and you're looking for a good horror movie to watch. Something that'll get your heart pumping and you're blood flowing while you try not to gag at the grossness. Well, this movie is for you.
Drag Me To Hell is a horror movie brought to you by the director of Evil Dead trilogy. Sam Raimi, the one and only, the man who directed the amazing movies Evil Dead , Evil Dead II and Evil Dead: Hail to the King brings us this horrific gross-fest. From the very beginning it leaves you wanting more; the horror that this movie brings in the first 10 minute is enough for anyone to have nightmares, but that's not enough to make a horror flick like this. No, he went above and beyond, writing it with Ivan Raimi.
It starts out simple enough; but then it gets interesting. Christine Brown (Alision Lohman) , a loan officer for a bank hoping for the promotion of her life meets an interesting woman named Mrs. Ganush; an old woman who's about to loose her house. Christine in an attempt to please her boss, denies her the mortgage she needs and soon finds herself at the hands of the old woman who claims to have been shamed by her. Not thinking anything of it, Christine goes about the rest of her day, only to be assaulted in her car afterwards by Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) . Mrs. Ganush; after a major gross-fest that left me unable to eat my popcorn curses Christine and disappears, later to die without Christine's knowledge.
And so the curse begins; she only has 3 days before her soul is dragged to Hell and she has no idea how to stop it. I'm not going to say anymore due to massive spoilers but believe me, this'll leave you sitting there going "NO!"
The amazing special effects of this movie only prove how far we've come since the early 80's. Now, you can't tell which is real and which is fake, something you could easily do in the 80's. The computer graphics were astounding, leaving us wanting more and not having it. Sudden images of the fly and the "Lamia" the demon coming to take poor Christine's soul down to the pits of hell were just amazing, having my jump out of my seat and yes I admit it I screamed at the ending.
All in all Samia has done it again, creating a horror master piece full of twists and turns leaving you breathless for more. Of course they is some comedy aspects of this film too, like all of Samia's work, so you won't be dissapointed. Pay close attention to the last 30 minute of the movie, you'll be amazed and surprised.
So if you're looking for a great horror movie, or you're sick of the comedies and want something else, this movie will satisfy your craving.
