Movie Review: Drag Me To Hell

Angry Joe here. I just got done watching Drag me to Hell. I went to see the movie because all my friends said it was a good and I’ve been seeing excellent reviews online. Its been a long time since I’ve seen a great horror film, so I said, “sure what the hell why not?” I was even excited about seeing it. “Finally a good horror movie!”, I told myself.

Well I just have to say this one thing, WHAT THE FUCK movie were ya’ll watching!?!?! Don’t get me wrong I don’t think it’s a terrible movie, just not what I expected and certainly not as good as others have talked it up to be.

the-movie1
We got talking goats, flying cartoon eyeballs, possessed people dancing on tables. This movie was fucking weird! Every 5 seconds something was either going into or coming out of that girls mouth, Handkerchiefs, Fly’s, Vomit, Worms, Eyeballs, Whole Arms, embalming fluid, mucus, and I’m probably missing like 5 more things…

The worst part of the whole thing was that you knew what the ending was 45 minutes before it played and it when it happened it just served to piss me off more.

And did you really need to go and kill that cute little kitten? Maybe I’m a sap but I like kitties and that was just wrong. In my theater people were laughing their asses off, and maybe that was the point, if so I’m cool with that. It’s definitely a return to form for Sam Rami, but I just don’t think this movie had the same charm that the Evil Dead did.

what-worked1

  • If you like laughing at horror movies you’ll love this flick
  • The Fight Scene with the Old Woman. Man that Old Gypsy bitch could fight like none other!
  • The Main Character, Christine Brown, is well Developed and you actually care what happens to her.

what-didnt1

  • The Ending was predictable and disappointing
  • No scares, just a bunch of laughs and a few cheap jumps. I kept asking, “Is this supposed to be so funny?”
  • Why couldn’t any of the 300 hundred people at the old gypsies house help her pay her bills? She did default twice already, Christine did the right thing and got effed for it!

I wanted to give the film a lower rating. But because it made me laugh so much and had great characters It ended up being a fairly good time if only to make fun of with friends. 3 OF 5 Just not something i’d see again.

second-opinion
Stone here, and all I can say is – What was anyone expecting? It’s Sam freaking Rami! Evil Dead? Army Of Darkness? Seriously people, this guy can’t do a serious horror movie to save his life. Saying that, it is Sam Rami, he told a really fun spooky movie. It had all his trademarks – that POS old car, eyeballs popping out, things inserting themselves into mouths and lets not forget talking possesed aniamls!. It was classic Sam Rami people. I give this movie a 4 OF 5 but ONLY if you like Sam Rami and his quirky style. It’s no Ash, and let’s face it there can’t be another Ash. THIS IS MY BOOM STICK! The only disappointment I had was that I didn’t get to see the goofy goat demon.

    I tell you guys. I absolutely love your game reviews, and by you I mean, you and AVGN’s. The more I watch your reviews the more I think how much I understand you, how much we have in common in the way we think and all that.. And then I watch your movie reviews..
    Now don’t get me wrong, I think you’re both cool guys and if I knew you irl we’d hang together and all that.. but there must be something with american people that just makes them have RIDICULOUS TASTE in movies. Which EXPLAINS why most hollywood movies are FUCKED UP.
    So anyway, that’s all I wanted to say… You just gave this movie, DRAG ME TO HELL, a higher score than BATTLE ROYAL, a classic… So, I don’t know what’s wrong with you all, but nevermind… Keep up the good work man, I really enjoy your videos.
    Cheers.

      the thing about us americans and our movies , if a movie sucks at one thing , the thing it was meant to be , we can often find humor in that and thus that makes the movie good for something . many a bad terrible shitty movies i ahve watch but loved because i could not stop laughing at them. but then again thier are movies like harry potthead .. i mean harry potter,that are just SO horrible i could not even get through 5 minutes of it. how those novels or those movies ever got so popular is a freakign mystery to me , and somthing i think could be a acedemic debate.

    I also laughed my ass off the first time i saw the film and, like you, wondered if it was supposed to actually scare me. However, i had to have a friend explain to me that this movie was never really meant to have been taken seriously…it should have been labeled a horror comedy (like shaun of the dead or zombieland)…

    It is supposed to be funny. Have you seen any of Sam Raimi’s films before? He made Army of Darkness? Fuckin’ sky pilot.

    I bet Angry Joe is a sex God.
    JUST SAYING.

    All in all, I think I would rate the movie very similarly. It did make me laugh a few times, and had one or two good jumps, but it was all together very predictable. It’s one of those movies where I don’t feel like I wasted my time watching it, but I probably wouldn’t watch it again or suggest it to anyone.

    I’ll probably get thumbs down for saying this but I actually really liked the movie. It was something refreshing to watch after seeing a lot of terrible stuff being brought out, It was creative and new.

    I give it 7/10

    Would have given it a 7.5 but she had to go and kill that kitten didn’t she!? *tut, tut*

    I agree with you and I’m the one who thinks that Sam Raimis Evil Dead is one of best movies of all time. Drag me to hell was extremely predictable and it just didn’t know what it wanted to be – it was too serious at some parts for a horror comedy and just plain stupid at the others(dancing demon), poor character development, lame jokes and while there still was some good parts in it, clearly not the movie one could recommend to someone.

    I actually stopped caring for the main character when she killed that poor little kitten :(

    The ending made me happy!
