Drag me to Hell
Last night I drove up to talorsville with my best friend to watch the movie, "Drag me to hell". Pretty much if you were to ask me what I think of the movie I would tell you that it is the biggest waste of your time. First off the theater that we went needed a lot of work. As soon as we entered the room and were looking for seats the our shoes immediately started sticking to the floor and when I finally did find my seat and sat down there was a nice little popcorn surprize waiting for me as popcorn that had been left between the crack of the seat was squished. That was actually pretty funny. Then the movie started. The whole movie is about evil spirits and dark stuff which is definetly not my thing. The movie starts out with a sick boy being brought to this lady who seems to know a lot about evil spirits and curses who tries to save him. The evil spirit who has been tormenting the boy comes in, knocks out the parents and this lady after she just offers a prayer and throws the boy off the balcony. The boy gets up and all of the sudden the ground starts to break around him and he is literally dragged to hell. What a great start! not. After that the story begins to develop how a girl gets cursed by a nasty old gypsy lady and finds out from a fortune teller that she was cursed with a "powerful" evil spirit that torments its victims for three days and on the fourth day comes and drags them to hell to feast on their soul. So the whole time this girl is tormented by this evil spirit and tries many things to try and disuade it from taking her to hell like killing her kitten. The story just keeps getting better... Everything in her life starts to go wrong and then at the very end when it looks like she is going to be safe from the evil spirit and her life is all better the evil spirit comes and draggs her to hell right in front of her boyfriend and that is the last scene of the movie. So the movie finishes the same way it started, a hopeless mess. The whole movie was very predictable, not scary but dark and I did not like the focus of the whole movie. Pretty much it was lame! That's my experience of this cultural event.

I'm sorry you didn't like it. I thought the crappy theatre and the sticky floors were all part of the experience. Maybe you have to have a liking for these kind of movies, and a knowledge of where it fits in with the whole genre to love it. I just wonder, you knew what it was about right? Were you there when I showed the preview in class? Why would you drive all the way up there to see a movie you probably wouldnt like? Sounds like it would be a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteWow. Sounds like a pretty intense movie, and a very memorable experience. I hate old sticky floored movie theaters. I bet you won't ever forget that cultural event! If the movie was free, would it be worth seeing?
