| The Mothman Prophecies was rated PG-13, and I found myself more scared by this than any other horror movie I've seen (though I don't know if I'd plant it so squarely as a 'horror' film). |

This is generally true, although I feel Drag Me To Hell is a unique example when contextualizing it with what Sam Raimi is all about.
Remember (as PressPlay pointed out), this is the guy responsible for the Evil Dead trilogy, which were delightfully hilarious and over-the-top campy genre flicks; Drag Me to Hell is no different, and I can vouch for this seeing as I went and ahead and checked it out last night.
Generally speaking, this is the type of horror movie I think a lot of people have been waiting a long time for, as it has absolutely no intention of taking itself too seriously, and manages to be scary and gross while simultaneously making you laugh at the sheer absurdity of it all; quite far cry from the stabs at brooding and atmospheric nonsense taken in the past several years, many of which have managed to be neither.
If you're willing to give it a shot, I think you'll find this a psychotically fun piece of work that's great to watch in a theater full of people. |

I watched the trailer and had the impression it took itself rather seriously. Maybe I'll give it a shot, but I don't expect too much.
Sounds a lot like Stephen King's 'Thinner'. |

It really doesn't, at all. It's wayyyyy in the vein of Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. |

Lake Placid 2 should also be mentioned. The acting and effects sucks so hard it cracked me up several times :stongue: |

.... and generally, not very good at all. reading on imdb everyone is sayign this is a masterpiece, and an artistic gem.. maybe im just not artistic and cant pick up on the things this movie is trying to tell me, but to me, this was a very very very hard film to watch... the only reason i watched it until the end is because i just need some closure on it, i just need to find out what the frig this movie was about, i needed an explanation god dammit!........ there wasnt one :( |

I watch David Lynch films more for the atmosphere and pure weirdness rather than for a comprehensible story.
