Drag Me to Hell [Blu-ray] [US Import]

'Drag me to hell' is the sort of horror that keeps you tossing and turning all night. When the shy Christine Brown asks her stern boss Mr. Jacks about who will get to be assistant manager, a job she desperately wants, she discovers that she is competing against her co-worker Stu. Christine suddenly meets Sylvia Ganush, a gypsie woman who desperately wants a third extension on her morgage, but Christine declines thinking that Mr. Jacks will aprove, but that is not how things turn out... Christine is just about to drive home when Sylvia appears in her car and fights her. They fight furiously for one long scene, a gripping struggle which leads to Sylvia cursing a button on Christine's sleeve, damming her to hell. Christine then asks for the famous phsycic Rham Jas, who desperately tries to help but it is impossible to get rid of the curse when the demon turns out to be the lamia, the most stongest and feared of all. A scary, fantastic, thrilling, brilliant film with one of the best story lines ever! The acting was amazing. I strongly reccomend it to horror fans, particularly ones that like jumpy scenes and films that keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is gonna happen next! *****! 10/10!

Watched this a while ago , it’s a good watch , a little jumpy at times , was recommended

Being a huge fan of Sam Raimi and the Evil Dead trilogy I was really looking forward to watching this movie and I wasn't disappointed. I thought the story line was quite clever and original, it makes a change to watch a horror movie which isn't a remake of a 70's/80's classic. The movie had some great comedy moments as you would expect from Sam Raimi and a few frights to keep you on the edge of your seat. I feel many recent horror films have totally gone for the in your face shock/gore factor and lacked any true imagination. It's refreshing to watch a film that doesn't try to fall into that category and isn't completely predictable. I wouldn't say the this was ' The scariest film of the decade ' as it lacked the true atmosphere and suspense of a great horror film, but nevertheless it was very entertaining and worth watching. I agree with other reviews that the actors were rather ' wooden ' but I don't really feel that this affected the actual film in any major way. If you like your horror films to make you cringe, jump, gasp and laugh like the evil dead trilogy then this is definitely one for you.

This film has been described as 'a masterpiece', 'the best horror of the decade' and 'the best horror film since The Shining'.It is none of these things, and doesn't even appear to try to be. As many other reviewers have stated, this is probably best described as a comedy horror. The only scares here are the usual contrived 'jump' moments, which owe more to sudden, loud bursts in the soundtrack than to anything scary actually happening in them. The whole movie has quite a light-hearted feel to it, and the enjoyment had by all involved in making it really comes through.The music is the usual over-the-top orchestral fare which is completely unsuited to the horror genre but seems to have become the norm (I think Poltergeist was the movie that started this particular tradition, a film absolutely ruined by its soundtrack). The special effects are mostly CGI, and not very good CGI at that. There are many 'gross-out' moments (Sam Raimi has always had a penchant for these) but very little menace.There are some truly cartoonish moments in this film. An anvil (suspended from the ceiling by a rope, where all blacksmiths keep them) lands on an apparition's head, causing the eyeballs to be blasted forth, Wile E Coyote style, into the heroine's face. During a seance, a possessed goat evokes Shrek's Donkey when it speaks with a superimposed CGI mouth. In another sequence, the heroine has the arm of her assailant stuck down inside her mouth, up to the biceps. These scenes are all as ridiculous as they sound.So, the whole thing is rather silly and not very scary, but does provide an hour and a half of watchable late-night entertainment if you are in the mood for something not-very-intellectual. Just as long as you know what you're getting and don't expect the horror masterpiece this average film has inexplicably been hailed as.
