THE MINISTRY OF BODILY FLUIDS WARNS: DON'T EAT WHILE WATCHING THIS MOVIE! Hooray, hooray, four absolutely pure and honestly deserved stars! Sam Raimi has forgotten about the awkward Spider-Man and returned to where we love him best. Among the dead and the undead, in dark houses, in dug up cemeteries in a heavy downpour... Drag Me to Hell is almost a perfect horror film, which I ate up like a raspberry thanks to its reasonable length. Suspenseful scenes are interspersed with even more suspenseful ones, with every scare leading to the proverbial hand (you learn, for example, how to use a stapler in self-defense, or that goats can talk when it comes to them), and the whole film is conceived as a super-fun reminder of the work of the late 80s and early 90s. Moreover, Raimi can afford to employ actors who know how to act, and he was lucky enough to have a sensational atmospheric score. It should be noted that the gypsy witch is one of the most repulsive characters of all time. And being a person who hates any bodily fluids besides blood, I really preferred not to watch some of the scenes with this content. Disgusting. But I'll watch it again.

An excellent ride, during which one laughs at times at the admitted and intensified nonsense, and at times catches their breath during brilliantly shot jump scares. Raimi has still got it, and Drag Me To Hell is nothing but living proof that when someone has a gift, they will scare you at anytime, and in any way. A wonderful adrenaline injection and, as strange as it may sound, a very pleasant film. Pure pleasure, but I'm honestly scared about tonight... :o) [85%]

I've never been so fucked up with a horror movie, and I thought I'd seen a lot of stuff. The creepy atmosphere could literally cut through a chainsaw at times. Alison Lohman was great and likeable, and I have no words for the granny. The big downside for me was the large number of overly absurd scenes, like the bloody handkerchief or the vomiting, and the animation of the critters and during the attacks on the main character. Still, I highly recommend it, especially for those who like to be scared.

An utterly boring and plotless horror. From start to finish there was nothing scary; the only good scene was maybe the one in the car when the old lady started laying into Christine. The rest isn’t worth my breath and I can’t understand the high scores given by others. I couldn’t find a single excuse to give this even one dumb star... Complete nonsense...

Excellent in terms of atmosphere, with good performances , and technically at least above average. Sam Raimi doesn't hold back and delivers a fairly entertaining, albeit simple, piece. Alison Lohman's delicacy beautifully contrasts with the unpleasant setting, the ominous sky, and the brutal performance by Lorna Raver. Only that green slime wasn't quite my cup of tea.
