Drag Me to Hell DVD Review

I was truly disappointed in what was going on in my life around the release of this film. Due to many unfortunate circumstances I was unable to see this movie in theaters. Man I’m mad I missed it. This is a film that you go to the movies to see. So I had to wait for it on DVD which in this day and age, is not to long. So Raimi brothers make a new movie that has nothing to do with the spidey one. That’s awesome just because I was sure we would see nothing but spider after spider sequel from these guys. It was such a pleasure to see them return to good ole bloody supernatural movies. Most of you know what the film is about so I’ll keep it short. Gypsy curse given to a women who could have helped the gypsy get an extension on her house, but since she was trying to do a power move for a new position she opted not to. Bad move. Gypsy lady feels disrespected and throws the curse on her. This curse gives people a couple days before demons come for you and well by the title I guess you know what they do. Of course there is blood, gore and a bunch of jumps as the woman is delusional because these are all the things that happen as you approach the man of light from below. This may all sound very familiar to an episode of Supernatural because it is pretty much the same story. Take out Sam and Dean Winchester insert chick and MAC commercial boy and there you have it. I thought the movie was great very entertaining and funny. I would say any Raimi fans or any horror fan would love to find this previously viewed for cheap and add it to their collection, I know I will. There are all types of featurettes and goodies on the disc and the cover work is worth the purchase its self. It’s nice to see out of all the remakes and reimagining and things that are out there that the Raimi boys were able to breathe fresh air into the mainstream audience with this release. Although it may not be an original tale exactly at least it’s not what everyone else is doing. Buy it

Umm. If there is one thing I love about Halloween, its Halloween themed movies. I mean I don’t think you guys know how I get down. I mean I’ve seen every single Halloweentown movie. Call me a dork or what ever but nothing gets me more than Halloween films. Now I will say I was somewhat skeptical of if this film would be any good. It has a slew of great actors involved including Miss Sookie Stackhouse herself Anna Pauqin. Also in the movie are vets Dylan Baker and Brian Cox along with fresh faces like Tahmoh Penikett from “Dollhouse” and the fat kid from bad santa! So enough about the people in it lets talk about the film.

So let’s get this straight people its got gore and a great body count. They don’t give any background whatsoever. Which I think is good because it would ruin the film trying to figure out who these people are. There are no heroes to save the day in this film and everyone has their own little secrets. It’s packed with Halloween lore and goodness and it captures what the night is supposed to be about. Fun! Hell even though all this bad stuff is happening in the film I would love to visit this town. So there is a crazy principal that likes to poison kids. Hot army of werewolf ladies, and a local legend about some crazy kids that went off a cliff on Halloween that comes back from the dead. It’s all worth it and all the stories meet somewhere in the middle that you will enjoy. No one character really steals the movie but there is this creature that walks around in a costume with a big head (guy on cover) and the movie is his, because he is the only one at all the sights of terror. He is the so called spirit of the night and believe me you think that Halloween spirit from the old ghostbusters cartoon (I watched that this weekend too!) was scary wait to meet this little guy. I think I will leave it at that go rent it tonight if you can find it and it’s something that the family could watch (only if the kids are over 18!) together to celebrate the greatest holiday every invented Samhain! Make it a blockbuster night and it would be nice to own as well.

9/10
