DRAG ME TO HELL




The trailers don't do this movie justice.
It's clear that Sam Raimi is getting two big messages firmly across with this movie.

#1 "Yeah, I made Spider-man, but the Evil Dead movies weren't that long ago. I still know what's up."

And...

#2
...making PG-13 horror naysayers, like myself STFU. And yeah, he did that. I was so wrong, y'all. This movie proved that Sam is still the master of gross/funny/scary horror at it's best.

Yup, even with that rating.

A movie doesn't have to be R-rated to be hardcore horror.

So, now I can honestly say, it ain't the PG-13 trend that has ruined horror cinema. It's looking for the quick buck over quality, re-makes, and those making it who lack the talents of Carpenter/Craven/Raimi/Jackson, somehow becoming this generation's horror flavor. *cough*the makers of Saw*cough*


Maybe, Raimi felt sorry for the new generation of genre-watchers having to grow up into horror wimps because of all the craptacular de-Asianized flicks and light-"jump-scare" 80's remakes.

...because Sam didn't give even a teeny bit of his gross/humor/horror away for this movie...

This PG-13 movie, y'all. ...Amazing.

As soon as I saw a nice ripe yellow lougie in close-up, I knew he had not forsaken his old-school fans. Actually, I knew after that awesome opening. Invisible demon punching a kid in the face, FTW!!

I should never have doubted him. Seriously, if you are a horror fan. A REAL one, I'm talking loves budget gross-outs like Dead Alive, and of course the Evil Dead(s) etc... Basically, the movies Tarentino/Rodriguez's Grindhouse were a tribute to, then this film is right up your alley.

DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE.

I freaking LOVED IT.


Instant horror classic.


P.S. Pretty much every minority in this movie were "Magical Negroes" except black people! We somehow escaped this time!! There were Latinos, Rom, Indian, shoot even a magical crazy old person (tis' relevent to the previous review, I think)...

So, be afraid of the minorities, young white peepul, BE. VERY. AFRAID!!! *so, I guess that's three messages, Sam got across. ;)

I especially, felt some empathy for Rom people, watching this movie. I mean black people get stereotyped in movies, but gypsies?

I know they're like "OH COME ON! We are not all magical witches/fortune-tellers an' sh*t! -damn!"

P.P.S. Homegirl, should have been bald by the end, I'm just saying.
