Drag Me to Hell - Exclusive Clip

Above is an exclusive clip from the movie.

My Review of Drag Me to -5 out of 5 Stars Just saw this movie, directed by: Sam Raimi. If you understand it's supposed to be a dark comedy as well as wickedly frightening horror movie you'll get it। Very much in the vein of the Evil Dead series, with over the top pseudo "gore" like Spaceship Troopers or Idle Hands। It's all about the laugh, and the cringe. It will also make you question as to whether someone could actually be cursed by an eveil gyspy and be damned to hell. You will leave the theater, likely as I did, still recovering from the thrilling, scary ride that the movie has put you through. You'll be very glad, that you went on that ride as well. It is a masterpiece and Raimi has really outdone himself. Scene after scene will have you clinging to your seats and grabbing the person next to you for support. I grabbed the guy I saw it with's arm so hard at one point I think I almost hurt him. Yes, this movie pulled me into it's morbid, sick depths and wouldn't let me go. I was absorbed into it hook, line, and sinker. So glad I went and saw this. I went into it, expecting nothing great, infact despite the GREAT, 4 out of 5 stars movie critic reviews, I was unsure it would be as great as those reviews claimed. I was shockingly impressed you can say by how it did infact live up to the movie critics claims. I'd go as far as to say, there is never a dull moment in this shock filled, insane with laughter at times, fright fest delight.

Critics Reviews

Washington Post Dan Kois - As in the best horror movies, Drag Me to Hell keeps the audience on the edge of hysteria throughout, so that every thump sets the heart racing and every joke earns a slightly out-of-control laugh.
Slate Dana Stevens
Brilliantly nasty little horror film.
Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey
With that fire in his belly, Raimi's Drag Me to Hell does everything we want a horror film to do: It is fearsomely scary, wickedly funny and diabolically gross.
Entertainment Weekly Owen Glieberman
Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years.
The Onion (A.V. Club) ScottTobias
Raimi’s new film feels distinctly unburdened and fun, happily frolicking in its own pulp silliness।

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
Raimi's still very much up to his old tricks, retaining that deliriously over-the-top brand of Grand Guignol horror that he had abandoned by the mid-'90s in pursuit of other.
Variety Peter Debruge- Drag Me to Hell is single-mindedly devoted to pushing the audience's buttons, and who better than Raimi to do the honors?
The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis -
Drag Me to Hell has a tonic playfulness that’s unabashedly retro, an indulgent return to Mr. Raimi’s goofy, gooey roots.
USA Today Claudia Puig -
Drag Me to Hell is unlike any scary thriller in a while: frightening, frenzied and fun.
San Francisco Chronicle Amy Binacolli -
If you can stomach the projectile-sputum gags and stapled-eyelid attack scene, it's hilarious.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review

2009-06-05T20:58:00.000-07:00

I really think Taylor Kitsch as Remy LeBeau / Gambit was the surprise of the movie as he was brilliant in his role. Hugh Jackman was ofcourse incredible as Wolverine. A chilling portrayal of his brother in the movie Victor Creed / Sabretooth was played by: Liev Schreiber and played as well as can be too. Liev was scary in his role and very convincing too. Danny Huston (head vampyre in 30 days of Night) was wicked in his portrayal of William Stryker. Also I was charmed by: Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool. All in all, the cast was superb. Couldn't have asked for more there. Also what a great story and very action filled and enthralling. Great special effects, some were almost on the scale of watchman. That's why I wish this had come out in Imax. I'd see it again if it comes back out in Imax.

My Doomsday review

2008-03-17T02:18:00.000-07:00

Doomsday won me over the moment I saw Eden's removable eye(she has a prosthetic eye) with a tiny camera inside to record stuff with(very Scifi).The movie is massively over the top from the first few minutes, with a blood spattering massacre at the new Great Wall of Scotland, and then a sequence where Eden takes a bunch of random bad guys. (There's a naked woman in the bathtub, so of course she has a shotgun with her. Who wouldn't?) And it just gets crazier and crazier. Strap yourself in tight cause you're going on the ride of your life. It is a thrilling, gory and epic masterpiece. It's 2035 and Eden is sent into Glasgow to locate a cure for a 2nd outbreak of the Reaper virus. Her task once she joins her crew beyond the quarantine wall, will be anything but easy. The savage survivors who've been shunned by their own goverment, are very angry to say the least and will stop at nothing to stop Eden and her crew in their tracks, especially after they realize she won't be their ticket to freedom, on the other side of the wall.
