It is so messed up. I absolutely love it. Christine's ending is deserved because of what she did to the cat and what she was willing to do to that old man in the uncut version she was willing to separate those two people for an eternity of misery and then I just imagine that elderly man being tortured in hell while his wife is in heaven. That is so messed up. I already know who I would give that button to.

If you're looking for a movie so bad it's funny this is it. If you're looking for a real horror movie this is 1000% not it.

Good acting good special effects but unsatisfying plot. Did she really deserve the curse? The bank manager did.

Some of this is entertaining...but the cgi is not good.At times it feeld it steals from evil dead.Main girl is very bland and supporting cast is better.Found myself doing eye rolls.even seems to steal from poltergest.Corny and silly.im a big horror fan,but this isnt it.

After the bad experience of studio interference on Spiderman 3, director Sam Raimi returned to his horror roots with the gem that is Drag Me to Hell. Though The Evil Dead is what put Raimi “on the map,” Drag Me to Hell is a far more polished work from an experienced and more technically accomplished director. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) works as a bank mortgage officer. She finds herself trying to just do the right thing but ends up foreclosing on a woman who can’t pay the mortgage. Unfortunately for Christine, the woman is the movie archetype of an old gypsy who doesn’t forgive easily. Soon after, there’s a violent assault, a car crash, crazy hallucinations, poltergeist activity, muddy corpses, a seance, levitation, and one demented, demon-possessed goat. This is the type of horror film where a nosebleed isn’t just a nosebleed, it’s a geyser. It’s a throwback to the old Tales of the Crypt comics where the number one rule is to be as over-the-top crazy as possible. In one very brief shot, for example, Christina hallucinates that her plate of food has something ... alive in it. One brief reaction shot from the plate’s point-of-view shows a fork prop that is clearly 2 or 3 feet long. This is a scary movie, but it’s a fun and very stylized comic book of a movie. Genre films are usually not known for the best acting. But all actors here are great, in particular the under-appreciated Justin Long and Adriana Barraza. If you’re not particularly a fan of horror films, this one may be too wild for you. But if you’re a true horror fan... put this on your list right away. And you’re welcome.

“Drag Me to Hell” isn’t just a horror movie—it’s a morality play drenched in supernatural absurdity, where seemingly every character is flawed to the point of being downright terrible. From the cursed Christine Brown to her classist boyfriend’s mother, the film populates its world with people who might deserve a karmic slap but instead get an over-the-top Sam Raimi-style sledgehammer. At its core, the film follows Christine, a loan officer who denies an elderly woman, Sylvia Ganush, an extension on her mortgage to impress her boss. This decision unleashes a curse that turns Christine’s life into a grotesque, karmic nightmare. While Christine is portrayed as a victim of her own ambition, she’s far from a saint. Her moral compass falters as she sacrifices everything—even her own cat—in a desperate bid to save herself. And yet, her boyfriend Clay insists she has “a good heart.” Does she, though? The film’s brilliance lies in how it makes you question that claim at every turn. Clay, on the other hand, is supportive but frustratingly passive. He offers comforting platitudes and financial privilege but fails to challenge his overbearing, classist mother, who undermines Christine at every opportunity. His mother, embodying elitism at its worst, provides yet another example of how even the “normal” characters in this film are deeply flawed. The hypocrisy and judgment surrounding Christine only add to her descent into chaos. Even Sylvia Ganush, the wronged party, is no saint. While Christine’s decision to deny her the loan is harsh, Sylvia’s response—cursing Christine to eternal damnation—feels more than a little excessive. Ganush’s grotesque, vindictive character straddles the line between tragic victim and monstrous force, amplifying the film’s darkly comedic tone. Director Sam Raimi layers this tale with the campy horror and visceral gags he’s known for, blending moments of genuine terror with absurdly grotesque humor. It’s a masterclass in tonal whiplash, where morality feels as slippery as the fluids Raimi gleefully splashes across the screen. But what makes Drag Me to Hell so fascinating is its commentary on karma and moral relativism. Nobody here is truly good or bad—just selfish in their own ways. Christine’s ambition and desperation, Clay’s passivity, his mother’s judgmental elitism, and Ganush’s over-the-top revenge all paint a picture of a world where everyone is complicit in their own downfall. Even Christine’s poor cat, a true innocent, doesn’t escape unscathed. Raimi’s world is one where moral compromise has immediate and catastrophic consequences. In the end, Drag Me to Hell isn’t about heroes or villains—it’s about the messy, selfish choices people make when their backs are against the wall. And while the film delivers its karmic justice with a gleeful sense of humor, it doesn’t let you off the hook for questioning whether anyone here deserved to be saved. Final Verdict: A darkly comedic morality tale wrapped in Raimi’s signature gross-out horror, Drag Me to Hell is a wild ride through a world where even the “good” characters aren’t so good. Whether you find that satisfying or frustrating depends on how much you enjoy watching terrible people meet their karmic doom.

Sam Raimi's Drag me to Hell is really outrageously hilarious and id really really scary horror film masterpiece and it really feels like one of evil dead universe and is only the best PG-13 horror film and the rise of better PG-13 horror with jumped scares and really incredible special make-up effects by KNB crew.

I was surprised at how gross a movie with very little violence and gore could be. The sound effects used for the old lady Mrs. Ganush had me closing my eyes and cringing in my seat, wishing I could purge my ears and memory from hearing such awful noises. Aside from that, very little in the movie is scary, there is very little to no thematical depth, and I found the acting to be a bit lackluster. However, I suppose that is all in the spirit of horror comedy fun; and this is definitely more of a horror comedy that horror, whether intentionally or unintentionally. I just wish I knew I'd be laughing more than anything else watching this film.

Director Sam Raimi, who we all know as the man behind the "Spider-Man" and "The Evil Dead" trilogies is at his best here. When it comes to directing, he can perfectly capture the symbolism and imagery with all the visual stuff, no matter how cheesy it can get. This distinctive style might be why I didn't find it as scary; his approach is simply unique and recognizable. However, that doesn’t mean it's a bad movie. In fact, I quite enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this movie!

It's an entertaining Sam Raimi movie, I enjoyed it. I think the people that did not like the movie may have not realized that it is a horror comedy. It's campy, silly, funny and spooky in all the right ways. (spoiler ahead) The only thing I had a problem with was the ending, perhaps too dark for the film. It's a fun watch!

More overrated Raimi

Very tropey but in the best way and the ending needs to be applied to more horror movies, effects aged like milk but the story helps redeem that.

Was kinda good but more hilarious goofy moments than anything.

When this first came out i loved it, but it does not hold up as the years have gone on. Not horrible, but not great either.

This is the world's worst horror movie ever made. There is no scenes with hell in it. Pointless plot with no reason behind it other than she denied some idiot granny. This is so bad I wish I could give it a -1 out of 10. Doesn't even deserve to be 4.5 stars, Of course that is probably because they paid critics to give this garbage bag 4 stars.

got the job done. oozing and squirt scenes.

Equally campy & creepy, Drag Mr to Hell is Sam Raimi at his best in one of the best horror films of the 21st century.

Terrible film. I never have been a huge Raimi fan.

The character kills the kitten, so I stopped watching the movie. I hope the character is burning in hell. Shame on the director. Typical cat-hating crap.
