*its I thought not of thought.. hahahaha..
Pure, mindless horror fun with extra savageness and kink. Sam Raimi seems to have a vomit fetish, which adds to the lead's hilarious 'former fatty' past.
The story is very predictable and I laughed at some scenes like the appearance of the goat and the haunted handkerchief slap in her face (I remember spongebob at this one and started laughing hard)
I was really surprised when I watched this yesterday... I remember bashing it when it premiered because of thought it is a typical horror film. But it is, but the only thing good here is that the horrific and suspense scenes are not recycled. I really liked the attack of that some demon early in the morning because those scenes typically appear/shoot in the evening.
This is how you make a horror; unique, suspenseful and incredibly clever. I went into this with average expectations due to my mixed feelings towards the supernatural aspect of horror, but oh man was I surprised. Raimi's screenplay is about as indulging, suspenseful and characteristic as anything he's ever written and this is something that even John Carpenter would be proud of. Ending is jaw-dropping shit.
Regardless of whether it's driven by generic predictability or poetic inevitability, its aggressive sadness surprised me. Having succumbed to the anxiety that accompanies decency in a corrupt world, the consequences of her moral transgression are evoked through the infringement of bodily sanctity; blood, bile and vermin spew in and out of the screaming mouth of a heroine denied Ash's living-cartoon resilience. Funny.
You probably knew that somebody was going to ask you this, but what were the other two films you walked out of?
Knew this was coming. The other two were "The Master of Disguise" and "Napoleon Dynamite."
Lemme guess... I'm think itBLARGHGHGHHGGHGHBHBHGJUMPSCAREBHGHGHHBHZZZ.
If you want to be as cheap as your scares and horror as possible in modern horror movies, watch "Drag Me to Hell" as a textbo--BLARBHGHGHGHGJUMPSCAREBHGHGGH. Decent when you have friends watching it with you, as a solo experience, slap-dashed and rather forgetta-- BLALGHGHHGHANKERCHIEFAHAHHAHAHHH.
Good for a watch. There are moments of the film that I really liked! But honestly, this is a rehashing of Sam Raimi's classic material only with uninspired editing/camerawork and distractingly bad CGI.
How did people not LOVE this movie? There is so much hilarious vomit and spit and bugs. The fight scene in the parking lot is so amazing.
I enjoyed this movie SO MUCH! What a pleasant surprise - don't listen to anybody who says anything bad about it!
I caught the last 25 minutes of this on HBO a month ago and didn't think much of it though I was highly amused. Then tonight I watched it again on HBO realizing that Sam Raimi had made it and suddenly it all made ridiculous sense. I enjoyed it a lot more the second time around so I'll bump my rating from a 1 star to a 3.
Ah. Curses... Source of many good horror movies! This young ambitious girl deserves what happens to her... But that's my opinion!
This is all about a middle class girl trying to impress a rich guy, but the devil doesn't like the classes intermingling so she's persecuted. When she doesn't get a promotion at work, she dresses goth and cries. It rips off Evil Dead, but not ironically; it also stars the guy from the Mac/PC commercials that was in the (more entertaining) movie Waiting.
I don't get why people lambaste this film. Have they never seen the Evil Dead films? Do they only know Raimi from directing Spider-Man? sigh. One of the best films of 09, and a complete delight even more so because of the extremely dismal american horror scene. A hilarious romp through familiar Raimi territory makes this a gem for his fans.
e io rimango del parere che l'ONU avrebbe dovuto proibire a Raimi di continuare a fare film successivi a "La Casa".
