Drag Me to Hell (2009) Movie Review

It doesn’t pay to be a nice guy (or gal) in a Sam Raimi horror movie. The “Spider-Man” director likes to torture people, especially the really nice ones. Just ask Ash from the “Evil Dead” films. Sam Raimi’s latest plaything is Christine Brown (Alison Lohman), a bank loan officer in “Drag...

Two New Drag me to Hell TV Spots

Two more TV spots for Sam Raimi’s upcoming “Drag Me to Hell”, his return to (somewhat) low budget horror, because let’s face it, as much as they keep telling us this is Raimi returning to his low-budget roots. It ain’t. Not really. Anyways, it still looks as low-tech as...

MPAA Friday: Bruno Gets R, Drag Me to Hell PG-13

So does this mean Sam Raimi’s “Drag me to Hell” isn’t the fourth coming of “Evil Dead” that we’ve all been waiting for? Possibly, since it’s doubtful ol Sammy can get back to his low-budget horror groove if “Drag me to Hell” qualifies for a...

New Batch of Drag me to Hell Images

Poor Alison Lohman should cheer up. Sure, Sam Raimi probably put her through all kinds of hell for her new movie “Drag me to Hell” (Bruce Campbell will tell you that ol Sammie gets a bit of a sick thrill out of torturing his stars on set), but even if she never stars in another movie for...

Drag Me To Hell’s New Poster is Hellishly Sexy

Maybe it’s just me, but this new poster for Sam Raimi’s return to kinda low budget horror “Drag Me to Hell” sure looks mighty tempting. It sort of reminds me of Raimi’s “Evil Dead” posters from all those ways back, with a girl in flimsy wear being accosted by...

First Reviews for Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell

For some reason, Sam Raimi is sure playing it coy with his announced return to horror ala “Drag me to Hell”. (Come on, the title just sells it, doesn’t it?) Heck, it’s been a year, and we haven’t even seen a trailer for this thing yet. There have been images, but very few....
