He bought "Drag Me to Hell". On fucking Blue-Ray I might add. A bigger waste of plastic I have yet to see. It's not worth the wear and tear on the PS3's laser.

Hell Yes!
Not only did the paki not have a laughable accent, Justin Long didn't die and there was no Evil Dead reference!

Sam Raimi can fuck right off.

No Evil Dead reference?
Eyes flying through the air?

Apart from that, every shot is Raimi through and through.

Doesn't mean it wasn't shit though.

Fuck, but that film was tedious.
All that money pumped into a horror film and they couldn't even hire an actress that could act scared.

Funny, yes,
but her reaction shot? Looked like she'd been overdoing the botox that day.

Thanks
One of a very small number of films I wish I had walked out of. Horror films can be done well, but they have what I consider to be a fatal flaw: in order to generate the 'horror', they make the enemy unbeatable, and the lead characters are almost always pathetic and / or helpless, and that renders them largely unsympathetic in my eyes. Everything relies on deus ex machina, which is a shit way of telling a story. So, most horror films are shit. Some are good.

Alien for example features a very strong heroine in Ripley and through her tenacity and resourcefulness she wins you over. The disparity in strength between her and the alien, that is required for the horror to really work, is accomplished by making the alien itself very powerful, mysterious and dangerous, not by making Ripley weaker, which is what most horror writers would do these days. That and buckets of torture porn and gore. Blegh.

I'd rather have one fluid ounce of mystery than a litre of blood.
Rant over.

I don't watch horror any more
It's the despair and mocking cruelty. You watch some poor fucker standing among the coffins of 19 of his relatives, blown to bits by NATO, or listen to a 14 year old girl describing how she found her little brother's head in her lap after a rocket came through the bedroom window...who needs to see a badly done unrealistic version of the same thing involving backpackers in Prague?

Agreed..
Reality holds many horrors for those willing to look.

Good horror is rare nowadays
Whereas something like the original Halloween was well scary and the theme tune still makes my goose bump

I can't believe
There's so much hate for this film. I found it very engaging and a kick up the arse of a stagnant genre!
