Drag Me to Hell (2009)

Rating: ★★

Aug 13, 2009Gypsy Curse

Sam Raimi chose to follow up his hugely successful Spider-Man trilogy with this incredibly silly film about Gypsy curses. Working with a lightweight script, Raimi piles on ridiculous shock effects that become so over-the-top that the film ends up somewhere in orbit

Director: Sam Raimi

The Night Chronicles 1: Devil (2010)

Rating: ★★★½

Sep 20, 2010Trapped in an Elevator with The Devil

Director: John Erick Dowdle

Actors: Chris Messina, Logan Marshall-Green, Jenny O'Hara, Bojana Novakovic, …
