I'm not sure when this hits the SA circuit, but I watched Drag Me To Hell here in the UK last night. If you've seen any of the Evil Dead films then you'll feel familiar enough with his original style to know that this movie is meant to give you a bunch of quick and often cheap scares with a healthy scattering of gross-out bits all tied together with morbidly black and occasionally absurdist humour.
Friggin LOVED this movie.
I've not enjoyed a horror flick like this since Evil Dead 2 and in many ways this almost feels like a spiritual sequel to Army of Darkness - near the end, our heroine even uses one of Ash's one-liners (which is also where Duke Nukem got most of his choice one-liners).
Just like Evil Dead, this is a horror which doesn't take itself too seriously, isn't afraid of taking cheap shots, and will surely get you jumping out of your seat more than once.
The only downer: Bruce Campbell doesn't make a cameo ;_;
