Drag Me to Hell

IMDB

Saw this last night. It's actually pretty damn good
Had seen an advert saying "best horror movie of the decade", so went in with a bit of scepticism & expecting it to be American trash - but was pleasently surprised. Not sure if it's worthy of that title, but certainly one you should pay to see at the cinema

IMDB has trailers/clips

Hopefully going to see it at Cineworld on Saturday. And I won't get bloody lost on my way to Jamaica street this time.XD

Is it not a PG 13 though? wouldnt expect it to be that scary

Semprini · 28th May 2009, 6:18pm

I reckon I'll see this this weekend.

Zooropa · 28th May 2009, 6:21pm

Uk 15

Us Pg-13

I wouldn't say it was supposed to be scary, it's a Sam Raimi movie.
I wouldn't say Evil Dead was scary - but it's great.

That was fun.

CHUCK LIDELOL · 30th May 2009, 3:43am

Saw this tonight, very very enjoyable indeed. Completely over the top and tongue in cheek but very funny.

Utter win from start to finish. The scariest part was sylvianorth storming out of the lassies bogs right into me like some force of nature.

My bad!

I might be reading a bit much into this but was there any significance to the coat she was buying at the end? I thought there was guna be some freaky button in the pocket or some shit.

It's just a brand new coat to signify a brand new life, putting all this behind her and starting again etc. Nothing else to it. And also obviously sets up the hilariously clunky 'What happened to your old coat?' dialogue.

I forgot about the coin despite it being such an obvious bit of foreshadowing and thus when the envelopes got switched on the floor I thought one of them was gonna be the engagement ring he'd bought for her and that when he proposed it was gonna be the button.

Cool.

Loads of folk bitching on IMDB about how obvious the button/coin swap was, I actually thought it was meant to be obvious, or rather, I certainly didn't feel it was meant to be a twist, cos it works both ways.

I really didn't like it, actually. One of the few films I've actually walked out of. Nothing hilarious, nothing scary, and nothing particularly good.

even though i've already heard the whole entire plot frm some gabby anoying girls on the train a couple of days ago, i'll still go see it. doesn't look too bad.
