Review of Drag Me To Hell

This movie is PG-13 and you will be so distracted by your disgust to even notice that no one says fuck. I think this is the best pg-13 horror movie ever made.

Sam Raimi’s kinetic and unhinged directing style throttles you through the plot with very little fluff.

This film really hits the sweet spot for me. The characters are fleshed out, The special effects are viscerally over the top, and there is a subtle ribbon of humor strung throughout. 

Drag Me To Hell Poster

Overall it’s a very fun film to watch. The dramatic irony, the well timed callbacks, and undercurrent of campy energy kept me engaged throughout. 

Score

9/10
