'Drag Me to Hell' web reviews

Sam Raimi returns to horror with "Drag Me to Hell," which stars Alison Lohman as a loan officer cursed by a creepy old lady. Justin Long, Lorna Raver and Dileep Raop co-star, and here is what some of the Web's critics have to say about the film:

• Cinematical's Peter Martin: "Welcome back to the realm of horror, Mr. Raimi, and thanks for making a convulsively funny movie with chills and thrills, suffused with genuine affection for the genre."

• Cole Abaius at FilmSchoolRejects: "It all works. A return to Raimi’s roots, a return to atmospheric horror, a return to fun filmmaking. It’s probably the most fun I’ve had sitting in a darkened theater all year, and I owe it all to Sam Raimi and Alison Lohman’s ability to make out with a dead body."

• George Roush at LatinoReview: "The acting was great by both Alison and Justin Long, the direction was superb, the story was fun and the scares were a plenty."

• Joblo's JimmyO: "This is a balanced film that drifts between chills, thrills and laughs."

• RopeOfSilicon's Brad Brevet: "Expect comedic elements and accept the fact an eviction is enough to set off a crazy old lady to the point she would place a supernatural death sentence on someone."

• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "For me, a person who has never been brave enough to give horror a fair shake, 'Drag Me to Hell' was a revelation, an introduction to horror as something fun, to horror filmmaking as something as skillful and audience-friendly."
