Raimi? Horror films? It's Hell!

[Mahmoud El-Azzeh]

The after-thought of Spider-Man 3 becoming a tad self-indulgent has possibly been the driving force behind this but Sam Raimi has decided to come back to the horror genre and direct a story he co-wrote with brother, Ivan, back in the early 90s. The film called "Drag Me Back To Hell" will essentially be a supernatural-morality tale in which the main character is given powers that he will later regret having.

Hmm... There are also rumours that film will focus on scares rather than using blood and gore to punctuate the terror... eh?

Hmm... The film will also be produced under Raimi's Ghost House Pictures, a company that is notorious for adding to and possibly being responsible for, all the tame PG-13 horror movies that are desperate to achieve what the original Japanese Ring film did... i.e. see "Hmm point #1" above.

Hmm... "Boogeyman" anyone? Rise anyone? The Grudge 2 (2006) anyone?

Please, someone convince me that this will actually be any good...

Sam Raimi should not be tarnished by what he has produced - let his successful directing career speak for itself.

I am a huge fan of Raimi and I am always interested in seeing anything that he directs and this will be no different.

Hmmm... that is possible. I really liked his most seminal films, it's just if he's pushing this image of tame horror films through his company then it might be very possible he'll do it again with his own work. However, of course there is a possibility that he could make it work too. Here's hoping...

I have first-hand knowledge that he's working on a reality series. Sounds interesting.

It's been public news for quite a long time, we should all have this knowledge...least those who follow horror. It's called 13 and set for the CW...reality show...ugh.

Drag Me To Hell was written a long time ago by Rami and his brother and sounds like it has a lot of dust on it. Actress Ellen Page bailed on the flick and the initial script reviews have been rather negative. Here is a blurb with one script reviewers comments:

"cliché, predictable formula type of script, with nothing but boredom in store for potential viewers.  The state that the first act was interesting, but after that not so good."
