Unfair generalization. At 16 I had a mohawk and may have said the same thing.

Oh no, I wasn't generalizing. I was using it to gauge her age. I had dreadlocks and rode a skateboard everywhere at 16. I think the dead give-away was that she said she was an expert at horror movies. That just proves she doesn't know shit. I highly doubt she's even seen a horror movie pre-Grudge.

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
It's all personal preference.
I didn't like the first Ju-on flick, but I did enjoy the straight to video 45 minute Ju-on: The Curse thing that came first (with Chiaki Kuriyama). It was atmospheric and to the point. |
Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Ju-On was a bad rip-off of several significantly better Japanese horror films, including the original Ring. It had no suspense and no point. I couldn't stand it. Didn't even see the remake.

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Somewhat ironically, the Dark Castle version of Thirteen Ghosts has Embeth Davidtz in it.

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Okay, I think I vaguely remember seeing that movie when some friends of mine rented it.
Spoiler:

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
All I remember is it had something to do with magic sunglasses...or maybe that was Dream a Little Dream 2...I don't know...

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Yes, that glass wall bit is in 13 Ghosts.
|
Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Saw it last night and really enjoyed it. Great to see Raimi's old style still working like a charm. It was a great ride, not really scary, decent jumps, some good laughs, and very exciting. Hope he makes some more films like this down the line, I have no doubt they could pull off another Evil Dead.

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
finally saw it and I have one question....
Where the Hell was Bruce Campbell? sorry if it was answered earlier but I didn't want to go through 10 pages |

Boosted soundtrack? Once again, dynamics. Some day you guys should attend a Feature Film Mix . |

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
I remember the first time I saw him in Hercules when I was a kid. Never knew what Evil Dead really was till probably around 4-5 yrs. ago...oh god did EDII change my life...it's a masterpiece. And yes...Drag Me to Hell needed a Bruce cameo..it actually ran through my head as I ask myself whether or not he'd be in it...
|
Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
I saw this again yesterday. I still feel the same about it: fun flick with great sound and some lousy CGI.
|
Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
I liked the lousy CG. It had a certain quality that worked, kind of like the goofy puppetry from The Evil Dead films. I think CG finally has the charming quality to it when it's not up to snuff.
I believe Campbell was too busy with Burn Notice to make a cameo. |
Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
I'd much rather see some cheesy practical FX work than cheesy CGI. IMO, that's just a lazy shortcut. Not surprised, though, considering how reliant Raimi is on CG thanks to Spidey.
|
Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Yeah, I agree. Even crappy practical effects have a tactile look to them.

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Just saw this today and loved it. Most everything I liked about it has been praised here, but I will say that I really liked the characters in this movie. They all seemed to play against type which was refreshing for a horror movie; any movie really.
The boyfriend was a decent guy and had faith in his girlfriend without wavering. He was concerned, but didn't automatically think she was crazy like most other movies would do. I loved how the movie didn't even bother to show a follow-up scene to her freak out at his parent's house. Most movies would have some awkward conversation on the car ride home. The boss gets schmoozed by the other candidate, but isn't swayed to picking the wrong guy. The office dick turns out to be a sniveling crybaby, scared of his father. Even the heroine was strong from the beginning. She wasn't a delicate flower that learned how to be brave and defend herself. She was brave from the start, but just needed to get braver. It helps a movie so much when you're not rolling your eyes at what the characters are doing. |

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
Just saw this earlier today. Loved it. I had a huge grin on my face pretty much the entire time. Damn good stuff.

Re: Drag Me To Hell - Sam Raimi
I can't believe this has all but disappeared from the Twin Cities Metro already, now only showing downtown and at a second-run budget theater in the suburbs. I've been telling everyone to see it, my wife and I dug it so much. Too bad.
