Horror films are one of the most films that has not been looking good to lately mostly because a true great horror film should be rated R because of the violence and gore and the nudity. Like some of the classic great horror movies of the past Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Final Destination. But lately they have making Horror film with PG-13 Rating and it shows and it make horror film horrible. So why do they do it to bring in the younger crowd but god we want the R rated films.

The next one up to bat is another PG-13 film called Drag Me to Hell" tells the story of Christine Brown (Alison Lohman), an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, Professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) enters their lives…and everything begins to unravel.

When her loan is denied and she loses her house, the shamed Mrs. Ganush places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Christine is tortured and desperate to have her old life back, so she sets on a quest to reverse the spell. But as evil forces close in and threaten to drag her deep into hell, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse?

Drag Me To Hell is market as a horror film but to be honest it was very funny it should be label as a comedy horror it gets me very mad when a horror movies gets a pg-13 rating come on Hollywood do make horror films pg-13 make them R. I like the idea of the film it kind of remind me of a film that came out a while back called Thinner which was a much better film and it was rated R. The acting was ok nothing outstanding but you don't expect great acting in horror films. You expect great scenes that will make you jump off you seat and give you chills down you spine. This film had a couple of jump moments but not too much I was hoping this film was going to be scary than it was I was not expecting to laughs as much as I did.

The old lady screen was a little bit far fetch you can believe a little old lady do some of the things she does in this movie. I know you all are saying this is only a movie but god lets not go overboard with it so make look like she is a terminator old lady.

Drag Me to Hell has a great director behind it his name is Sam Raimi who has made some great film like the spider man films, and the funny and scary Evil dead films so I thought with him behind the helm it would be a little bit better on the scary side but hey we all can't get what we want. Overall with all the big blockbusters that are out already and the future one that will be coming out over the next few months here one that will make you laugh and jump a littler if you seen all the big films then don't miss this one.
