Title: Drag Me To Hell
Post by: Malad on June 26, 2009, 03:09:27 am: A loan officer ordered to evict an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse, which turns her life into a living hell. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.
(from IMDB)

I saw this movie last weekend with a few friends. Judging from the previews, we expected a typical horror flick (grudge esque) with cheap scares and maybe some blood splatters here and there.

Oh god.

This film is INCREDIBLE. It's funny, it's gross, it's over the top, it's suspenseful, it's creepy, and it's got one of the craziest endings I've ever seen in a horror film.

Watch it! 9/10

It had all the things that make a bad movie, but they were done in a way that made it look good! Movies like the grudge and all these dime a dozen horrors that lionsgate keeps shoving out should take a note.

Also, I thought the ending was one of the most brutal endings I've ever seen.

Agreed, 100%.

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and call it for my movie of the year.

Agreeance.

This movie was genius. It scared you in one scene and cracked you up the next, and few horror movies can perfect this (though many have tried). I need this in my DVD collection, now.

The “workshed!” scene in particular. When the anvial knocks the gypsies eyes out into Lohman’s mouth… It was a nice, nasty little wink to Evil Dead 2 and suprisingly nasty. But the CG was so fake it was distracting.
