It’s time we put out the red carpet to welcome one of the original masters of horror back in to Cape fear. Sam Raimi who engineered the creation of one of the legendary horror movie series “Evil Dead” though he is also very famous for “Xena the Warrior Princess” is now come back with “Drag Me to Hell”.
Movie Description
Sam Raimi has brought demons & gypsy curses in a new manner to us viewers. He has used his experience of nail biting cliff hangers from Spiderman here. There is not much use of Graphic not as much as Spiderman however, the graphics used suits the movie. He story plot revolves around Christine Brown (Allison Lohan) a loan officer in a bank who gets a gypsy curse when she has a tiff with a gypsy woman. This is the start of the ride of fear, the brilliant use of sounds and shadows and a faceless fear is really nice. Justing Long (kid from Die Hard 4.0) plays Christine’s boy friend who justifies the role. Dileep Rao plays an Astrologer who can see psychic vibrations and he has done more than justice to the airtime he was given. The star of the show is Lorna Raver who plays the gypsy woman Sylvia Ganush, during the movie you will either start hating her or become scared of her. Graphics and the character outline has made her scary. Her character steals the lime light.
Rating
I rate this movie under the genre horror thriller and if I see all the horror movies which have come lately (I am referring to these slash & burn movies) then this movie is a cut above the rest. You will be feeling what happens in the end after 45 minutes of the movie. By the way end is suspense and I won’t give out any spoilers. I give 3.75 / 5 for this movie for the story plot and potent of fear it has.
Verdict
If you experiment with horror thrillers then do watch this movie. If you have been a fan of Sam Raimi’s work then he shows his creativity with this movie. If you have been always fascinated by demons, curses and the occult then it’s a must watch for you guys. However, the normal public or the janta (not junta) you might find it boring but this movie has more to it than what meets the eye.
Overall – watch it as it’s horror with a new perspective.
