Yes! Absolutely.
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
So, yes. This is a return to form for Raimi and Raimi. But more than that, it's a breath of fresh air for horror fans. Goofy, creepy, and purely entertaining. This is a film made by a man who still has a giddy, childlike love for horror burning within him. Allison Lohman is wonderful in her starring role, taking every beatdown, delivering Ash-esque one-liners with ease, and generally inspiring pity for her supernatural situation. There are angry shadows, unseen forces, dead bodies, jump scares, action thrills, etc. and lots of laughs. What's more, it's a kind of outrageous (yet totally appropriate) cautionary tale for these hard economic times. This is what we need more of. So horror fans unite! Go see it at the theatre. This is not one you're going to want to wait for the DVD to see.
I was smiling all the way through.
