After having his production house create a constant flow of shitty horror films, Sam Raimi now has to come back from directing three Spider-Man movies in a row to show everyone how to be scary and funny.
He'll do it with "Drag Me to Hell," a script he co-wrote with his brother. A supernatural thriller/morality tale about a character who receives a supernatural curse, Raimi describes it as a "spook-a-blast." If you've never heard that term before, it's because Raimi just invented it and now Merriam-Webster has to scramble to keep up. If you make a billion-dollar-franchise, you get to make up words and the rest of the world has to accept it.
The question (easily answered by those who have read the script, i.e. people not me) is whether this is a low-budget horror film or one that relies more on special effects and elaborate settings. Hell can be lavish or sparse, depending on who you talk to (they're always redecorating down there).
But you know who should star in it? Bruce Campbell. Bruce Campbell should star in every movie ever made, laws of time and space be damned. You know how I know this? Because his fans told me it and that's all they ever say. That and "Let's watch Evil Dead 2"
