And for once, it's intentional."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke 4/5 "There's goo, gore and guffaws galore in this outrageous celebration of everything you used to love about both Sam Raimi and the horror genre itself."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel 4.5/5 "it is nice to have Sam Raimi back doing what he does best -- scaring the bejesus out of people."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 4/5 " While it has the energy and the endless cinematic invention of his early work, the film's command of economical storytelling is something that once eluded Raimi."   Kinetofilm   Brian Holcomb 9/10 "A gooey, frenetic, raucous and mind-meltingly clever delight. This fabulously compact little morality tale is the most fun you'll ever have analyzing our economic collapse."   CampBlood.org   Brian Juergens A- "Hell is an efficient, exceptional shocker that serves up bucketfuls of jolts and icks with eye-bulging enthusiasm. It's honestly the best horror film I've seen in ages."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 7/10 "The plot is pretty silly, but Raimi films are always more about the tour-de-force sequences than the story."   DVDTown.com   Christopher Long A+ ""Drag Me to Hell" is the most fun I've had at the movies in years. It's destined to be a cult classic for all eternity."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Christine's monstrosity is hardly so daunting as that of the evil spirit stalking her, but it's of a piece with Drag Me to Hell's mostly vague cultural critique."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/5 "Raimi can do more with a set of false teeth and a compelling, if deeply flawed, heroine that most horror hacks can with enough fake blood to flood the Great Basin."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 3/5 "If Raimi had a rubber skeleton he could launch into the audience, he probably would."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3/4 "...ultimately stands as a refreshing alternative to the myriad of Asian-horror remakes that have been flooding the marketplace as of late."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B- "Exorcist-like hokey supernatural thriller."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "Deliciously scary and wickedly tongue-in-cheek, Drag Me to Hell is devilish fun that cinema lovers of all kinds owe themselves to experience. So entertaining it ought to be a crime."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman A- "It's outrageously dark and twisted in the most delightful ways, a frenetic funhouse of terrors that causes almost as much laughter as pants-wetting."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/4 "Raimi's fans will no doubt be pleased that he's whipping out the greatest hits. But just the same, it's the greatest hits package equivalent to Peter Gabriel's best-of album not including In Your Eyes."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3.5/4 "Cast aside all PG-13 biases folks, you'll be glad to know that even with the rating, "Drag Me to Hell" is one of the finer horror movies released this year..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. "The tone of escalating ghoulish farce is beautifully sustained"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce B "Doesn't boast a plot to match its hilariously over-the-top title, but it offers enough scares and chuckles to make for an enjoyably ghoulish cinematic roller-coaster ride."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Goofy old-school racism..."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 2/4 "Parts of it are entertaining, although I'm not convinced they're enjoyable entirely for the reasons intended by the filmmakers."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "good, malicious fun that revels in its own absurdity, lack of lofty ambitions, and determination to drag you down with it"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4.5/5 "Raimi's made this "Drag" a race, designed to chill you, thrill you and give you an excuse to clutch your date's arm with each of the many jolts and jumps it delivers as it twists and turns to the finish line."   MSN Movies   James Rocchi 7/10 "Raimi going back to his roots, showing that he hasn't forgotten how to exercise his wickedly mischievous side to put on a hell of a show."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3/5 "click to read the full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 1/5 " I really can't recommend it. Despite the fact that I support the idea of comedy horror, I do generally ask that it contain at the very least either comedy or horror."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.0/4.0 "The evil is back. The Oldsmobile is back. Horror director Sam Raimi is back. What's not to love?"   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/5 "Don't think of Drag Me to Hell as a grisly horror flick. Instead, realize that it is the most hilarious movie of 2009."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr A- "...Raimi returns to his roots with a vengeance, giving his gypsy curse/exorcism horror the kind of over-the-top, almost operatic feel that hasn't graced genre screens in decades."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "A bold, brash, unsubtle bogey tale full of buzzing hell-flies, repellenet effluvia and black-and-white moral lessons: One step off the path of virtue and everyone knows where you're going, missy."   Horror Hacker   Maitland McDonagh 6/10 "What is nice about this film is it is different from most of the horror films being made currently. What is disappointing is that it is not enough different from some of the classics of the horror genre."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "[Raimi] is challenging the typical ethics of the modern horror story..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "Resistance and rebellion to the studio routine resounds throughout Drag Me to Hell, and as a return to the filmmaker's original witty shocks and gross-outs, how goddamn touching it is."   Film Threat   Matthew Sorrento 3.5/4 "Raimi announces off the bat that a decade and change of toiling in mainstream studio projects has not killed the enfant terrible."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 4.5/5 "Built on a love of old movies, on the special camaraderie that exists when you're sitting there in the dark, screaming and laughing with a bunch of strangers."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "If The Exorcist were re-imagined by Bugs Bunny, this is what you'd get. Drag Me to Hell is a head trip for the ages."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan "A delirious haunted house carnival ride."   The Screengrab   Nick Schager 4/5 "Beneficiado por um desfecho que, mesmo tremendamente previsível, é eficaz e impactante... e como é bom ver Sam Raimi voltando a abraçar suas raízes depois do fraquíssimo O Homem-Aranha 3."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "A combination of silly humor, startling scares and gags (in every sense of the world) that are simultaneously so goofy and gruesome that you won't know whether to laugh or barf. Trust me, in a film of this type, that kind of comment is high praise indeed."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "The film is so relentlessly fun that we're powerless to resist."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2/5 "The movie is manic and gross, all right, but not much fun unless you enjoy watching an attractive 29-year-old woman getting punished repulsively over and over."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "Stands as the latest in a line of occasional, much-needed reminders that the horror genre isn't going completely downhill anytime soon."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick B+ "Evil Dead 4? Not quite, but you can see it from here."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux B "Funny, but not as funny as Raimi's earlier horror films were."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 4.5/5 "If you're just looking for a fun horror flick that's a little gross, a bit silly, and entirely entertaining, this is bound to be one of the year's finest genre offerings."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg "This rollercoaster horror film is like an EC horror comic of the 1950s come to life, an unforgiving morality tale with playfully gruesome twists and a doozy of a gallows humor."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 2.5/4 "Proves Raimi still knows how to crawl under an audience's skin."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "[Director Sam Raimi's return to the horror genre is] a bit like a reunion tour by an aging rock band running through a medley of their hits: it's fun to see their routine again, but the magic is gone."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 7/10 "Schlocky and spooky, it's a disturbing terror thriller with an unusually loud soundtrack."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 50) of 51 OFCS Rating: 90% Fresh Page   12   > Next
