The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Admittedly, I have not been looking forward to reviewing this. With the enthusiastic reception garnered by both critics and audiences, I knew my opinion would be a controversial one. Alas, where would we be without opinions. So, here's mine: Drag Me To Hell is irrefutably terrible. "Modern day classic"...are you actually kidding me? It's just insanity. A loan officer is cursed after not extending a mortgage for an elderly woman which, after three days, will result in her being dragged down to hell. You can give me the "Raimi resurrected his classic comedy horror" or "it's supposed to be campy" excuses all you like, trust me I've heard them all. But after watching this four times throughout my life, I just cannot comprehend the adoration for this "horror". To purposefully make a film that's designed to be bad makes no sense to me. There's no enjoyment. No thrills. No legitimate scares. Heck, it's not even nostalgic Everything, and I mean everything, is abysmal. Lohman's acting, Raimi's unfocused direction, excessive jump scares, horrific visual effects, the obtusely dull conclusion, monotonous screenplay and the formulaic premise. The persistence of utilising the elderly woman's mouth to excrete maggots, flavoursome juices and probably discharge was wholly unnecessary. Way too many gross moments. It seemed Raimi loved reusing the same scenes to create laughs, whether it be ripping Lohman's hair or people whispering "Lammmmiaaaaaa", except it failed to make me laugh. The jump scares themselves just come out of nowhere, to the point where after the tenth scare you start to predict the film's next move. Do not even get me started on the goat seance. I will say the ghost slap at the start of the film was perfect, the sound effect was just beautiful. Seriously though, have I missed something? Honestly? Because as far as I'm aware, a bad film is a bad film. Whether you're intentionally creating atrocities or not. Residing in Hell would be more fun that watching this again. 'Army of Darkness' this is not.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe I do not understand the concept and work that this director is into, but in my opinion, this is by far one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. At least they should put horror,COMEDY, thriller. The animations and visual effects were so bad and hilarious it made me want to vomit. The acting was so bad, from both the awful female and the male in the couple, that I don't understand how this even past the test audience. Stupid jump scares, miserable visual and unlogical effects, horrible acting. 3/10

First of all. Bad movie. And the actress Alison Lohman horrible. Where did they find her? The gap? It would've been better with another actress A lot of people loves this movie but I hated it

The greatest thing about this film is the twist and turns. it was intense and at no point did i stop watching which can easily happen in a lot of horror movies.It appears from the other reviews people either love this film or hate it. Personally I loved it as a good old fashioned suspense movie with a bit of the occult thrown in.The balance of humour, suspense and chilling story line made me really enjoy this film. The film won numerous awards which I feel justifies my view.
