Drag Me to Hell 2009

I'm not surprised at how visually pleasing this is coming from Horror director extrordinaire Sam Raimi. What is shocking is how...well shocking this is for PG-13 rated Horror. There are plenty of gross-out moments but not the gore or gratuitous violence that is so prevalent in today's Horror. Frankly I think the "torture porn" that is in fashion today keeps a lot of moviegoers away and something like "Drag Me To Hell" may bring many of them back. PG-13 doesn't stop this from being scary or suspenseful in fact it put me at ease knowing I could share a frightening flick with my family without having to expose them to a butchering. The characters are easy to relate to. They're relatively innocent and friendly people caught in the unfortunate position of having to do their job. And wow! The ending isn't fair at all. It's actually mean as Hell (pun intended).
