Saw Drag Me To Hell last night with Drs B, G and Mr A. A proper scary-yet-fun movie. I can’t remember the last time I sat through an entire film completely on edge, waiting for the next horrific shock*. It was like a lesson in how to make a really effective film for a relatively small budget – at one point Alison Lohman has a fight scene with a hanky for crying out loud. I just hope that now he’s rediscovered his horror mojo, Sam Raimi doesn’t go straight back to making bloated Spider-Man movies†. More horror please.
* Well, apart from Me, You and Everyone We Know, but that was for slightly different reasons.† Speaking of Spidey, how crap is it that they missed out the hyphen on this poster?
