Day 235 of the challenge! Drag Me to Hell is AWESOME! LOVE IT!  Have a new horror favorite! About time I watched it too.

Liked:

  • Drag Me to Hell is one of the funnest horror movies I have ever seen! It's got all the fun and camp from The Evil Dead movies, while showcasing some legitimate scary moments and visuals that floored me. Raimi is the master of fun horror! On top of that, the care given to the character work is impressive. You LOATH the people you're suppose to hate (this movie really pushes your buttons that way), and I was surprised at how invested I got in Christine's crisis. I was pretty anxious in between scares, just feeling the weight of the situation and waiting to see how much crazier (and deadlier) things could possibly get. 

Didn't like:

  • A little more background on the demon's mythology and history would have been welcome. 

  • Some of the CG didn't age well (and it probably looked dated when it was new too...) more practical effects would have been great!
