Since I’m having surgery next week, Mr_Movie_Maven and I have been going to the movies a lot since I’ll be out of commission for a while. Today we saw “Drag Me To Hell” (2009) a spoofish film that combined elements from several other horror films into a poorly acted film with so-so special effects, not too many jump moments for me, but with a good, almost requisite twist ending. There were many, many laugh moments; however, this was not surprising given that Sam Raimi and his son Ivan wrote the film while Sam directed it.
Alison Lohman and Justin Long (the PC guy) had absolutely no chemistry whatsoever and I didn’t really care what happened to the other characters - except the cute kitten.
Compounding the problem were the noisy teenagers in the back of the theatre who wouldn’t shut up. I swear, I am getting sick of going to the movies anymore because of the rudeness of most of the movie-goers in our lone theatre.
I’m surprised that the reviews were so high as I was a bit disappointed.
