  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  This movie is basically Sam Raimi grabbing bland, mainstream horror by the collar and proceeding to spend 100 minutes kicking the shit out of it.

  And it's fucking awesome.

  Incidentally, it also works as a terrific allegory for bulimia. Think about how much of the horror scenes revolve around the witch vomiting on Christine or shoving her hand down Christine's mouth or various other substances entering and exiting mouths. And think about how many random, out of nowhere mentions we get of Christine's past as a fat girl. Or how all the food is depicted as rotting or gross. It's one of those things where once you know to look for it, it's completely obvious.

  But yeah. This movie's awesome. The scene with the goat especially. You all know what I'm talking about.

  Allow me to not act my age and indulge in a bit of internet slang:

  This is the GOAT PG-13 horror movie ever made.

  The first time I saw this was opening night at the recently shuttered Court Street Regal in Brooklyn, probably the most fun movie theater in America to see a horror movie. Loud, shameless, and utterly engaged, audiences could ruin the wrong movie or elevate the right one. This movie opens cold in 1969 by literally dragging a 10-year-old boy to hell after he steals a gypsy’s necklace. Gloves are off, Sam Raimi is telling us, we’re coming out swinging. That crowd swung back and when the stunning and hilariously mean-spirited ending hit, I thought the room might incinerate. Love da movies.

  Drag Me to Hell, Sam Raimi's return to the horror genre after his Spider-Man trilogy, is still an absolute monster. In terms of pacing, the sheer variety of scares and laughs, and the delirious mix of problematic Universal Horror stereotyping and EC comic morality tales, it's a terror classic that keeps on giving. The 'three day curse' structure allows for less of an overtly traditional horror film and more of a sustained link of set-pieces, which Sam Raimi executes with panache and a gleeful smile on his face. It's incredibly fun (and scary!) to watch Sam Raimi create his own modern take on horror, his style completely unrestrained. Also features one of my favorite graveyards/cemeteries in cinema history.

  Was gonna watch the new Raimi Doctor Strange but apparently you have to have watched Wakandavision first? Sorry Sammy, Da Bran Man ain't biting. So instead I watched this, a movie I haven't seen since my buddy and I got day drunk and went to go see a matinee showing of right after I moved to NYC.

  This movie's a lot of mean-spirited fun. Mean-spiritedness can blow up in an amateur's face (The directorial work of Judd Apatow, Ricky Gervais's stand-up, etc.) but wielded by a master, it's what we like to call "the good stuff." This one keeps you at the exact right emotional distance so that you're close enough to feel the tension of her situation but removed…
