Drag Me To Hell

Earthdad dragged me into this today and I'm so glad! We both really enjoyed this campy movie!

Alison Lohman stars ('Matchstick Men') and does a great job - true many of her scenes have her staring with the same exact look on her face, but frankly she gets a round of applause for not cracking up laughing in many of these scenes!

The other star is the wonderful Justin Long ('He's Just Not That Into You' and those Mac/PC commercials... and originally 'Jeepers Creepers'!) or I should say the ONLY star is Justin Long. His role is not the lead, but he does steal the movie. He has the best lines, acts the most naturally and does a wonderful job.

There is plenty to laugh at - sometimes because they want you to with a funny line and sometimes because they're sort of poking fun at the genre and you get let in on the joke. It is a real horror movie, at the same time. Plenty of scary stuff, gross stuff, dead people, lightning and thunder and rain and shadows and curses OH MY! On that level it's really a decent horror flick. With the scary versus funny mixture, it's actually a fun movie.

Unfortunately I saw the ending many miles away... I prefer a twist or a real surprise but didn't get it here. Still and all - big surprise, lots of fun at the movies, we had a good time.

Pueblo Tinseltown was hot and fresh and the crowds were thin on this Thursday matinee so we whispered and laughed freely - best way to watch a movie if you ask me.

This one gets a 3!
