Sam Raimi reminds us why he is the master of horror and comedy 👑 Such a great film , I hope he makes a sequel sometime, as there's always been talks about it apparently 🤞 I don't think a film has managed to give me a fear of something since I was a kid and saw Jaws and IT and they made ne scared of the sea and clowns. But I saw this in my mid 20s and I was literally scared of Gyspy ladies. Around that time they used to be some selling these arm band things on the high Street alot. The next time they asked me I actually bought one🤣

Independent (UK)

When violence appears in Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, it's not meant to be real, often it's hilarious, and what Raimi tries to show is what is going on in the mind of his principal character.

MUBI

At what point does gleeful cynicism become so gleeful that it ceases to function as cynicism at all, and mutates into a blatant formalist trope of little emotional or intellectual resonance, but plenty of aesthetic...what's the word? Bliss?

This rollercoaster horror film is like an EC horror comic of the 1950s come to life, an unforgiving morality tale with playfully gruesome twists and a doozy of a gallows humor.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Sam Raimi cements himself as a master of the horror-comedy, thanks in large part to Alison Lohman's impressively outlandish performance. Arguably Raimi's best balance of humor and horror, and best film, since Evil Dead 2.

Rated: 5/5

Deep Focus Review

Not since The Exorcist has there been such an exhausting horror experience, which embraces and quells disbelief with such expert viciousness toward the characters and the viewer alike.
