A Decade of Movies #5

Drag Me to Hell
Directed by Sam Raimi
Released May 29, 2009

Good: Fighting a scrappy old woman, old fashioned gross out scenes, great score by Christopher Young, the goat, throwing up a whole dead kitten.

Bad: Poor kitty, evil handkerchief.

Thoughts: Raimi's first horror film since Army of Darkness, and it rocks! An instant classic for fans of the genre, and girlfriends like it too.

Drinking Game Ideas: Finish your drink whenever Christine gets bodily fluids on herself or is vomited on.

Fun Facts: The original story for Drag Me to Hell was written ten years before the film went into production by Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi. After finishing the script, Raimi desired to make the picture after the first draft of the script was completed, but other projects such as the Spider-Man film series became a nearly decade-long endeavor, pushing opportunities to continue work on Drag Me to Hell to late 2007.

Drag Me to Hell received generally positive reviews from critics upon release. Rotten Tomatoes rated the film as "Certified Fresh", with 92% of critics giving the film a positive review, based upon a sample of 192 reviews. This is unheard of for a horror film!

*Drag Me to Hell will be released on DVD and Blu-ray October 20th.
