[...] Where other horror pioneers’ attempts to return to the cinematic styles that earned them their reputations have generally ranged from middling (George Romero’s Land and Diary of the Dead) to embarrassing (Dario Argento’s Mother of Tears), Sam Raimi effortlessly slips back into “spook-a-blast” mode with the outrageously fun Drag Me to Hell.

I’m with Ricky. The trailer was fucking awful. After seeing it, my interest plunged. I just dind’t care. But I’m glad that I went to see it last night. It is easily going to be the best horror movie of the year and is one of the best horror movies I’ve seen in a wicked long time. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Sam Raimi is easily the best director working in horror today and he hasn’t made a horror movie since Army of Darkness! That guy is the master.

The trailer is hands down the worse trailer of 2009 but in all honesty it was a blast watching this movie. I can`t wait to review it on the next podcast.
