W tym roku reżyser powraca z horrorem, zatytułowanym Wrota do piekieł, opowieścią o Christine Brown (Alison Lohman), ambitnej pracownicy banku w L.A., spotykającej się z czarującym profesorem Clay'em Daltonem (Justin Long). Wiedzie ona życie pozbawione problemów do dnia, w którym w banku pojawia się tajemnicza pani Ganush (Lorna Raver), by błagać ją o odroczenie spłaty pożyczki na dom. Czy Christine powinna posłuchać intuicji i pomóc starszej kobiecie? Czy może lepiej odmówić pożyczki i zaimponować szefowi, żeby zwiększyć swoje szanse na awans? Christine wybiera drugą alternatywę, pozbawiając panią Ganush dachu nad głową. W zemście, starsza pani rzuca na nią klątwę Lamii, zamieniając życie Christine w istny koszmar. Dziewczyna, nawiedzana przez demona, nie mogąc liczyć na pomoc swojego sceptycznego chłopaka, zwraca się do jasnowidza Rhama Jasa (Dileep Rao), by ocalić duszę przed wiecznym potępieniem. (Best Film)

An excellent ride, during which one laughs at times at the admitted and intensified nonsense, and at times catches their breath during brilliantly shot jump scares. Raimi has still got it, and Drag Me To Hell is nothing but living proof that when someone has a gift, they will scare you at anytime, and in any way. A wonderful adrenaline injection and, as strange as it may sound, a very pleasant film. Pure pleasure, but I'm honestly scared about tonight... :o) [85%]

A masterful game with genre tropes that manages to thrill, frighten, and entertain, often all within a single scene. After Spider-Man 3, Raimi makes it clear that he hasn't lost his judgment and knows how to entertain himself and the audience. Anyone who gives it less than three stars simply hasn't understood that Raimi made a fool of them. 4 ½.

Figure skating through different film genres, with a boldness spiced up with a unique creative signature. Sam Raimi is a genius who has mastered everything from jump scares and spooky atmospheres to social humor and Hitchcock-like family dinners. But the combination of witty humor and polished horror is not to everyone’s taste. That’s why I prefer the first Evil Dead to the second for the reason that it is a pure horror movie... and I love Jackson’s Braindead for the reason that it is a pure comedy. I’ve never liked when these two genres get mixed. But I’m still giving this film four stars, mainly for Sam’s refined perfectionism.

It lacks atmosphere for a horror. On the other hand, it has too many jumps waiting which let you know about themselves long ahead of time. I jumped just once and that was when a friend brushed against my hand when reaching for his drink. I hope it was by mistake. The black humor scenes work nicely, but there aren’t enough of them to make this work as a comedy. Apart from the “Itchy and Scratchy" fights between Christine and Mrs. Ganush, not much memorable happened. And Raimi without Bruce... Those words just don’t fit together in one sentence. But it’s true and it’s doubly disappointing when you realize that the role of Milos would fit him like a glove. In fact, I can’t believe that it wasn’t originally intended for him.

With Drag Me to Hell, Raimi makes a partial return to “his” 1980s, but he doesn’t forget to also use what he has learned in the mainstream waters. I think this film is just the kind that can satisfy horror fans, while also entertain and scare a little the average viewer. The only little thing I could reproach is the exaggerated likeability. Fortunately, the scary scenes, the humour and the jump-scares are in the right proportion for the result to still be horror instead of comedy (the reviews had made me expect a lot more jokes and I was pleasantly surprised by the reality) – basically, it’s something between The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II. Both approaches work perfectly, when Raimi wants you to feel tense (or scared), you will feel tense (in the moments when danger is approaching), and he’s just as good at making you laugh (when the danger shows itself in all its beauty, expelling various bodily fluids). 8/10
