I got to watch Drag Me To Hell last night at a screening. Like in every movie there was good things and bad things. If you have not watched it yet read at your own discretion. Spoilers will come up; meaning if you have yet to watch it you might want to stop reading about now.
Sam Raimi makes his return to the horror genre with his latest movie titled Drag Me To Hell. The movie's beginning is somehow comparable to the way all three Spider-Man movies beginning. This gave the movie a sense of feeling that meant it was a film by Sam Raimi. At the start of the movie we get a fairly quick introduction to the monster (like many horror movies), even though we never really get to see it through the entire movie.
People who are looking for a bloody/gory film will be disappointed. Drag Me To hell is more of a movie that seeks to make you jump on your seat as you say "ewww" with some comedy thrown into the mix. The suspenseful scenes weren't really that good but, the comedic scenes were good enough to balance out the movie. Overall the movie left more to be desired and Sam Raimi did do a better job here (comedy wise) than on Spider-man 3, though not by much. The first two Spider-Man movies were good so we know what Mr. Raimi is capable of and incapable of.
The old lady (look at picture) was the "monster" in this movie since she is used way more times as a way to frighten the audience. Her character gave the movie that special touch that helped the movie be better.
