The MovieSite — Drag Me to Hell

Drag Me to Hell

Christine Brown has a good job, a great boyfriend, and a bright future. But in three days, she's going to hell.

Sam Raimi has had enough of Spider-Man and has gone back to his cheapo horror roots, this time producing a very highly rated scarefest. The plotline, as if it mattered, revolves around a young bank clerk who denies a mortgage extension to an old lady. The old lady dies, and comes back from beyond the grave to extract her revenge...

eye Weekly (Canada)Jason Anderson Drag Me to Hell mixes up the creepy and the silly to delirious and very pleasing effect.

Rolling Stone (US)Peter Travers There's no truth in the title. Drag Me to Hell is horror-movie heaven. Only those expecting elegant storytelling will be disappointed. Raimi's job is to keep us revolted and riveted. Consider the job done.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs Purposefully not scary in a traditional, unnerving sense but instead combining fun, funny and frightening into a delicious mix reminiscent of the best haunted house attraction, this is undeniably an entertaining ride.
