When violence appears in Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, it's not meant to be real, often it's hilarious, and what Raimi tries to show is what is going on in the mind of his principal character.

At what point does gleeful cynicism become so gleeful that it ceases to function as cynicism at all, and mutates into a blatant formalist trope of little emotional or intellectual resonance, but plenty of aesthetic...what's the word? Bliss?

Horror Queers Podcast

Raimi's "return" to horror features cartoonish violence, Evil Dead references, and a great cast that's game for anything. And that's before we talk about the controversial animal murder and mean AF ending.

Rated: 4.5/5

This rollercoaster horror film is like an EC horror comic of the 1950s come to life, an unforgiving morality tale with playfully gruesome twists and a doozy of a gallows humor.

Sam Raimi cements himself as a master of the horror-comedy, thanks in large part to Alison Lohman's impressively outlandish performance. Arguably Raimi's best balance of humor and horror, and best film, since Evil Dead 2.

Rated: 5/5

this movie is rubbish, not only does it not make sense, but it lacks any logic and becomes generic in many places, just by seeing some things you know what is going to happen, it is simply apotheosic garbage

Not only did this movie not age well (which isn’t an issue, however some scenes are cringy) but it’s hard to focus on anything because the plot is BS. The main character does absolutely nothing wrong and yet is cursed and punished despite doing nothing wrong. 2/5 it’s still very well made. Frustrating that the plot couldn’t be better.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Do not waste your time. This movie is one big racial slur wrapped up in someone fluid fetish dipped in fake lore. I watched it with Rifftrax and it still could not improve it.
