Now a super popular movie is Drag Me to Hell, which is a new horror film loved by more and more people. Sure, it is very exciting, I’m sure you will be very scared, because I was when I was watching it, I was so scared that I thought the story was real. So I think this is a very successful film this year. Well, let’s discuss it now.
Wikipedia introduces Drag Me to Hell like this:
Drag Me to Hell is a 2009 American horror film written and directed by Sam Raimi and co-written by his older brother Ivan Raimi. It stars Alison Lohman, Justin Long and Lorna Raver. The film stands as a return to form for Raimi, who had previously earned acclaim for his cult horror series The Evil Dead, before reaching a wider audience with the Spider-Man films. The film circulates around Los Angeles loan officer Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) and her refusal to extend a loan for Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) in order to impress her boss. In retaliation, Ganush places a curse on Christine, making her life a living hell. The movie also pays a tribute to 1980s Universal horror films as it shows a vintage opening logo from the decade and the “Ask for Babs” Universal tour title card.

Critic Reviews:
Boston Globe, Wesley Morris
“Raimi succeeds at giving literal moviemaking a good name, while providing diabolic catharsis for many a disgruntled homeowner.”
Chicago Tribune, Geoff Berkshire
“Sam Raimi’s return to horror is anything but a drag.”
Entertainment Weekly, Owen Gleiberman
“…a deftly unified freak show that keeps intensifying as its wormy-devil images keep spewing.”
Watcher Reviews:
Raimi can do more with a set of false teeth and a compelling, if deeply flawed, heroine that most horror hacks can with enough fake blood to flood the Great Basin.
A solid horror movie that features such big laughs, you come away wishing that most comedies were consistently as funny and as bright.
Stands as the latest in a line of occasional, much-needed reminders that the horror genre isn’t going completely downhill anytime soon.
Now it’s time to watch the trailer.
