[rebelmouse-image 24748764 original_size="273x400" expand=1]Let me be the first to say that when I saw the previews for "Drag Me To Hell", I was skeptical. The trailer played it like a straight horror film just like the gazillions that come out now, where the pleasure is in watching some young woman chewed up and tortured, for no apparent reasons outside of sheer misogyny. That Sam Raimi was attached to it depressed me even more, because the trailer made it seem like he was finally and completely selling out his roots in cheeky, imaginative horror film-making. And too bad, because a good horror movie can be a lot of fun, but good horror movies are few and far between.
