Drag Me to Hell

Raimi returns to his Evil roots with this B-movie of epic proportions. Hybridizes laugh-out-loud funny with piss-yourself terror and completely avoids pulling punches. Occasionally goes too far with obviously digital Acme anvil and silly eye-spray. Long impresses while Lohman is simply tolerable. Saved by pleasantly simple plot and surprises galore.

Neveldine and Taylor crank out this poorly plotted ‘Running Man’ ripoff overflowing with glitchy editing and arbitrary breast shots. Butler is decent but Sedgwick is weak, even compared to Lohman, Luda, and Leguizamo. Michael C. Hall is film’s saving grace, but still, Leonidas vs. Dexter & Terry Crews? Game Over.
