DRAG ME TO HELL

Sam Raimi is back to his classic Evil Dead form with DRAG ME TO HELL but this time, Alison Lohman takes on the type of role that brought Bruce Campbell cult classic fame as "Ash."

DMTH is one of the best scary movies I've seen in a long time. The sights and sounds are not your overly gimmicky tricks - tricks such as a cat jumping out at you or a loud noise for the sake of being so loud, it makes you jump.

This time around, you're surprised and horrified and laughing at the same time. Raimi is one of the few who can add the right touch of comedy to the horror genre without it being plain silly.

I wasn't sure how well I'd respond to a frail heroine such as Lohman being the focus, but she did a delightful job of making me root for her throughout and she made me laugh when you're supposed to. Kudos Ms. Lohman! (yay)

All I can say is that it's worth seeing this film on the big screen, and you should buy it to support Raimi when it comes out on DVD. The audience laughed and screamed (I have never screamed in a theater while watching a film before!) and gagged in unison so it was a fun time for all.

GO SEE IT!
