Monday 26th October 2009. The day of the British DVD and Blu-Ray release of Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, and a significant event in the history of horror DVD releases in general.

Timed almost poetically to coincide with the cinematic release of the sublimely enjoyable Zombieland, Raimi's movie is a triumph for the other type of horror movie. From neither of the twin favourites of slasher rehashes or complex Korean psycho-horrors (fellow writer Mike Edwards claimed 3D Horrors were one of the kingpins in his original review, but I cant see past R-slashes myself), Drag Me to Hell is a good-old fashioned monster flick, resplendent with shocks and gore, and joyfully chocked full of Raimi's signature humour.

If Spider-Man was Raimi’s Hollywood opus- the moment the fan-boy got big boots, Drag Me To Hell is the moment he returned to his true calling. Everything about this film screams Raimi, from the writing to the design of Mrs Ganush and the other various demonic presences. It’s one for the fans who might have been turned off as the Spider-Man films progressed, believing their God to be moving too far into irredeemably consumer-friendly territory. The best thing that can be said in that ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So it's been a week now since the red carpet rolled its weary way back up the main steps of the Palais des Festivals, and high time I posted my closing words...

A Note On The Winners

Proof if ever it were needed that, despite the innumerate accusations that Cannes has steadily dumbed down since Tarantino walked away with the Palm d'Or, that the judges cannot be swayed by the often irresistible charms of the more commercial films in competition. Here follows a selection of the winners...

	Palm d'Or Winner- The White Ribbon [Michael Haneke]
	Grand Prix Winner- A Prophet [Jacques Audiard]
	Director- Alain Resnais [Wild Grass]
	Jury Prize- Fish Tank [Andrea Arnold] Thirst [Park Chan-Wook]
	Actor- Christoph Waltz [Inglourious Basterds]
	Actress- Charlotte Gainsbourg [Antichrist]

A major shame that Ken Loach could come away with any more than the Ecumenical Prize for Looking For Eric- though no more of a surprise than the decision to ignore Taking Woodstock. Christoph Waltz's performance in Inglourious Basterds deserves as many plaudits as will surely come its way, with the holiest of all a good bet next February, but Charlotte Gainsbourg looks more than a little lucky to have been favoured over mesmerising new-comer Katie Jarvis (Fish Tank). But then, it has become ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was 17 years old when my buddy Jack and I rented EVIL DEAD for the first time. I had heard about it in movie magazines, a movie so violent and boundary-pushing that it had been banned in Europe and barely seen in America. By the time it was finished, we realized that we had just experienced something special. The film managed to walk a razor thin line between comedy and actual horror with apparent ease, and the bloody effects were the cherry on this very special cake.

Over the years, director Sam Raimi has worn down my enthusiasm for his work since that one glorious night so long ago. While EVIL DEAD 2 generally worked, ARMY OF DARKNESS was a miserable attempt to take the DEAD franchise mainstream by ramping up the comedy to excruciating levels of annoyance. DARKMAN was a bomb. The SPIDERMAN series had moments that worked, but I am mostly indifferent to it. THE QUICK AND THE DEAD was campy fun, but not a particularly good Western. Never saw A SIMPLE PLAN, although it is highly acclaimed.

So when Raimi announced a welcomed break from SPIDERMAN to make a horror film called DRAG ME TO HELL, my slumbering ...]]></description>

A couple of months ago, I was fortunate enough to see an unfinished cut of Sam Raimi’s glorious return to the horror genre, Drag Me To Hell. This week saw Sam Raimi and his two lead actors Alison Lohman and Justin Long on whirlwind promotional duties in London.

On a rainy Bank Holiday morning, I went along to a central London locale to have a quick chat with the great director himself and his actors.

		<description><![CDATA[Before I watched this film I was firmly convinced that horror had two paths left open to it: the rapidly improving 3-D gimmickery of movies like MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D or the carefully constructed psychological intensity of Asian horrors (and their many remakes like THE UNINVITED, MIRRORS and so on). But is seems there is a third way, closer to the first than the second, but nonetheless very very welcome. And that is sheer unbridled joy in the art of 'the scare' combined with the much-missed supernatural monster to drive the whole forward.

The set-up is a simple one, Christine Brown is a loan manager. She's an ordinary girl (except for the obligatory good looks of every horror leading lady) in a happy relationship with a young college professor. In the hunt for a promotion she makes the decision to repossess the house of a creepy looking old lady. Despite being the norm in these sad economic times, this elderly lady refuses to see the bigger economic picture and places a curse on Christine. In 3 days the Lamia will come and drag her to hell.

Of course the Lamia is one impatient goat demon, and can't wait that long. So we ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OWF would like to introduce Martyn Conterio to the staff with one helluva debut review...

It almost felt like a secret.  The instructions, clear:  arrive at the location; at the specific time…come alone.   The chance to see an early, unfinished cut of Sam Raimi’s new film Drag Me To Hell in the bowels of a Soho screening room, months before general release, was too great an opportunity to miss.



Sat in the dark, eyes wide, as the film’s title filled the screen and ghost train-like music played, the level of expectation and anticipation recalled the joys and fears of watching the Evil Dead trilogy - feelings bound to be replicated amongst audiences when the film hits cinema screens later in the year. Raimi’s career over the past 15 years has been interesting to say the least.  It’s been less interesting for his many horror fans though…For Love of the Game, anybody?

Consistent work in a variety of genres in film and television over the past twenty-five years has bestowed upon Raimi a great privilege - he is a director with legions of fans (known as Deadites).   Having directed the Evil Dead films and become the poster boy for ...]]></description>

What with the coverage we have already given Drag Me To Hell in the run up to its release, it seems a little pointless to offer my official thoughts from Cannes in the usual manner, so instead you get this...
1. It's pure thorough-bred Raimi
If Spiderman was Raimi's Hollywood opus- the moment the fan-boy got big boots, Drag Me To Hell is the moment he returned to his true calling. Everything about this film screams Raimi, from the writing to the design of Mrs Ganush and the other various demonic presences. It's one for the fans who might have been turned off as the Spiderman films progressed, believing their God to be moving too far into irredeemably consumer-friendly territory. The best thing that can be said in that case is that Drag Me To Hell is what The Evil Dead Trilogy would have been (minus Bruce Campbell of course) had they been made after Spiderman, and that being the case, I now fully welcome the potential fourth edition to the series, since Raimi wont necessarily have to move so far away from the fondly-held low production quality of the originals...
2. It has the Evil Dead's gore with Hollywood money behind it
I've ...]]></description>

AICN head honcho Harry Knowles saw an early cut of DRAG ME TO HELL, the new Sam Raimi picture at the SXSW and went absolutely crazy for it...
This isn't a debatable film experience. There is no question about what happened tonight. This wasn't a nostalgic affair. There's no shrugged shoulders or indifferent souls that exited that theater tonight. What we all experienced was a resounding thunderous splitting of the Earth around us experience tonight. There was no spattering of applause, no isolated screams... this wasn't just me acting like a ninny, but 1200 hundred people screaming, shrieking and being shown for the namby pamby bitches that we were in the face of DRAG ME TO HELL!

What we saw tonight was a masterpiece of American Horror to the Planet Earth!
As did the audience...
People throughout the PARAMOUNT were exclaiming phrases like, "I've never screamed in terror at a movie in my life until tonight!" And these exclamations were legion. As the final moment of the film concluded - It was a sonic assault of cheers, screams, hoots &#38; hollars and there was this swoop of wind as people leapt from their seats to signal approval of the highest degree. THIS WAS SAM ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sam Raimi's first real return to horror (we don't count THE GIFT now-a-days do we?) tackles the financial economic crisis, surprisingly. I never thought Raimi or the genre would ever touch such relevant matters. Ah, nostalgia for the happier days when it was just about teenagers wanting to get laid. 

Where people weren't worried about keeping a roof over their heads. 



Sadly, the hook isn't really enough. There's almost a Saturday Night Live sketch vibe about it, the absurdness of being cursed for turning down someone's mortgage extension. All it would take is a joke and a laughter track and it would be a timely and quite funny parody. BRAVO! 

But as a movie, I can't take this movie at all seriously... why would a demon need to go through the applications process for a mortgage extension? DUMB!

OR SEE IT IN HD HERE.

But it's not aimed at me is it? The PG-13 slapped rating, the watered down post-SPIDER-MAN Sam Raimi is reaching out to a different generation to me. 

Has he forgotten his roots? Where's Bruce Campbell and a chainsaw when you need him?

A Raimi flick titled DRAG ME TO HELL, deserves better. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MTV have released a couple of new images from Sam Raimi's first non-superhero movie in eight years and his first pure genre horror movie since the EVIL DEAD franchise ended, with next May's release DRAG ME TO HELL.

The self described "spook-a-blast" movie stars Alison Lohman as the victim of a supernatural curse cast upon her by an older Eastern European woman who was defied and humiliated by others.



Raimi tells the site...
This script was one I wrote with my brother many years ago, but we couldn't get the money to make it with the director we wanted at the time. I decided it would be a great change for me to get back to the basics of filmmaking, a chance to work with a smaller budget and challenge myself with the more old-fashioned ways — not being able to afford a crane every day, covering five or six pages of material every day, back to those basics of less luxurious filmmaking. I thought that would be refreshing.


More detailed summary of the plot...
This is the story of a woman, Alison Lohman, who is very much in love with Justin Long's character. She makes a sinful choice so she can be with the ...]]></description>

Variety say that the directing master has cast Justin Long as the boyfriend of the already cast Alison Lohman (who replaced Ellen Page) in his supernatural thriller which will begin shooting on the last day of this month for Ghost House Pictures. In the movie Lohmann will be the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse.

Justin Long (who I'm sure you will have heard is dating Drew Barrymore) was Bruce Willis' sidekick in Live Free or Die Hard and after many roles in comedy, this will be his first return to the horror genre since Jeepers Creepers, his first lead role...

		<description><![CDATA[Variety say that Alison Lohman will be the female cattle (I'm in a Hitchcock mood today) put to the slaughter in the supernatural chiller Drag Me to Hell, the film that marks Sam Raimi's first return to the genre that made his name in eight years.

You will remember Lohman from her brilliant turn in the pretty awful movie Matchstick Men. She's also had parts in Big Fish and last year's Things We Lost in the Fire and the motion captured CGI Beowulf. She's seven years older than Ellen Page but she doesn't half look like the Juno actress and can herself age down for the part.

I liked her a lot in Matchstick Men. She didn't come to mind like the actresses' I spoke about yesterday but she seems like a decent choice. It's such a shame about Page but if you squint a little, this photo makes Lohman look like Page with a blonde wig on!
