Drag Me to Hell (2009)
As playful as horror gets.
Presentation:
From the director of Spiderman, Sam Raimi delivers one of the most fun horror films that will leave you squealing, shouting to laughing and having a blast. It's definitely designed to be watched with friends, with creepy gross horror rather than psychologically terrifying. And that one scene? Yeah, real practical effects.
Conclusion:
As fun as it gets, this film is the horror movie to start with if you are new to the genre. It'll keep you up all night not because of fear, but because you'll want to talk about it with everyone. Reminds me tonally of Cabin in the Woods, or the modern derivative of Alfred Hitchcock. A popcorn horror that youโll have a blast with.
