Drag Me to Hell (Movie Review)

Alright, let me just start of by saying, I scream like a girl. Me, Byung Chan Lee, Ben Kurtenbach, and Josue Diaz went to see "Drag Me to Hell" on Friday night, and we had a blast. Now i went to see this for only two reasons. 1st, i never really watch horror movies, so for a change i wanted to get scared. 2nd, i was a big fan of Sam Raimi, from Evil Dead to the Spiderman series. So we went to see this movie not knowing what to expect. We screamed, we laughed, and we cried (not really, just the first to) This movie is a movie about a girl named Christine Brown. She has a nice boyfriend, a good job, and a promotion on the horizon. But her boss tells her that the job is between her and another Asian dude, and that he wants someone who will "make the hard "decisions". So this elderly women comes asking for a extension on her house, but Christine wanting to get the promotion, decides to deny her. Wrong decision. The elderly lady, gets ticked off and puts a curse on Christine, which will cause a demon named the Lamia to torment her for 3 days, and ultimately "drag her to hell. So if you haven't figured it out yet, this movie isn't for kids. Its rated PG-13, but i has a lot of scares. Which is what i like. You don't need a ton of gore to make a movie scary, and Sam Raimi managed to pull it off. Everyone was screaming, and hiding their eyes, and peeing in their pants. But also like classic Raimi there is humor, and there were some very funny parts. Overall i would suggest this to any Horror fan, or fan of Raimi. If you don't enjoy horror/comedy or Raimi's past work, you probably won't like this. Overall, i would have to give this movie a 9/10. Keep checking back for future reviews!!!
