I was bored to tears with drag me to hell, the acting was horrid the cgi was pathetic and frankly it felt like the title was the discription of the feeling you get when watching this film. Now I agree with Spoony when he says horror as of late is a joke, theres not been a horror movie in a long time that I would find remotely scary.

I've enjoyed Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. With that said, I was bored to tears by Drag Me to Hell. It might have been the dull story or it could have been the overload of CGI; it just didn't click as a Sam Raimi movie, to me. There may have been one moment that I found humorous, but it was a very boring movie. It was like a little boy trying to scare a little girl with a dead lizard on a stick.

FUCK YEAH
I loved Drag me to Hell
I was expecting another generic boring suspense movie.
Nothing like that, intense from the first second to the last one.

u never gave a review for Up. But on the subject of Drag Me To Hell, it sounds interesting but I’ll wait to either rent it with some other movies in a cheap way (like a renting it for a couple bucks at a blockbuster or something) or checking it out from a library or something like that.

@96> Scream was more satire then true horror. It’s hard to quantify a movie that is itself a comment on the genre. The Ring was ok, but no different that the other 500 billion Hong Kong or Japanese horror flicks.

This is the only American horror movie in the past decade that I liked. In fact I actually love this movie! Torture Porn horror is really just stupid and are made for sadists. Remakes are just really stupid. I absolutely hate the Ring, Asian and American. Scream was meh.

I went to see it with my girlfriend, it´s written pretty good, I have to admit, but the jumps scares every other minute became rather annoying then enduring in the end. Good movie though.

But Spoony, wasn’t Sam Raimi the guy who made Evil Dead 2 in the first place?

His movies are no where near as good as Scream or The Ring, if you ask me.

Good review!

BTW, not to Bitch about a topic, but, are you doing an UP review?
It’s been like a month. I know it’s awesome, but I would just like to know your opinion on it.

Ok, saw it and was pleasantly surprised. I only had a few minor hang-ups with it, the rest was thoroughly enjoyable. I do, however, have to chime in and say that my biggest hang-up was the ending. Yeah, I know. I just don’t like total bummers for endings. Partial bummers, ok. Total bummers, no way. To paraphrase Spoony’s comments about human on human horror, we have enough bummer endings in real life. When I fantasize I don’t like seeing evil triumph utterly. I give it 3.5 out of 5…would have been a solid 4 but for the ending.
