Critics Consensus

Sam Raimi returns to top form with Drag Me to Hell, a frightening, hilarious, delightfully campy thrill ride.

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.

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 film really hits the sweet spot for me. The characters are fleshed out, The special effects are viscerally over the top, and there is a subtle ribbon of humor strung throughout.

Raimi's "return" to horror features cartoonish violence, Evil Dead references, and a great cast that's game for anything. And that's before we talk about the controversial animal murder and mean AF ending.

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.

How does this movie have a 92% rating?!?! The acting "performances" if you can call them that from the two leads are distractingly bad. Not even the end could save this movie, I'd never watch this again.

This is one of the best horror movies of all time. It has action from beginning to the end.

I watched this when it came out first and I didn’t appreciate the humour and funny scenes. Now almost seventeen years later I watched it had a much better understanding of the film. Its horror is so grotesque but in a hilarious way.

Muy buena película de terror realmente para su época no esta nada mal no tiene tantos jumpscares como las recientes pero lo bueno de esta película es la primicia de ver como se llama el demonio y como lo pueden vencer tiene muchos plot twist esta película sinceramente el final no me gusto pero eso es lo que la vuelve diferente.
