3.5/4  Almost as good as the Evil Dead Trilogy.
Just finished watching this and what can I say but WOW.. This movie was amazing. And to get 3 1/2 stars from me is a task! As a huge fan of the Evil Dead trilogy and Sam Raimi, I was obviously very excited about seeing this film! I was not... (read full)

3.5/4  Thank You Mr. Sam Raimi!
Well done, you just gave faith to American Horror; there might still be hope! For the last ( long ) couple of years only Asian Horror movies deserve my attention, and with time passing by even the medium/poor ones are masterpieces when com... (read full)

4/4  One Hell of a Nightmare
From the film’s opening sequence Sam Raimi grabs you and drags you along for a frightening ride. The opening sequence I found to be amazing! Set in 1969 in Pasadena, California, a young Mexican couple rushes to the home of medium Shaun S... (read full)

4/4  Exciting and Scary! 4 stars!
This movie ended up feeling a little more like a comedy to me but that actually made it even more fun. I should mention that it does have that Sam Raimi feel to it, that sort of whacky, almost "slapstick horror", (which is great) except Dr... (read full)

4/4  All Hail Raimi!
This is what I said after watching my first trailer for this film. "W.T.F.?! PG-13!"
And thiswhat I said after I actually watched it. "Wow, that was as good as Evil Dead 2."

5/5 Better than Expected
  by Veronica M. Davis (South Euclid, OH USA)
Great movie. I was not expecting much, thus I was really shocked during the car fight with the Gyspy woman from the bank. Goodness! The rest of the movie was also entertaining, right up to the very end too.

1/5 Pretty Bad
  by Natter (NY)
It started off fun and scary and then got worse. When the goat started talking I was like really?? OK I hate this movie.

3/5 Not as good as I had hoped
  by Thomas Lynn (Cranston, RI)
I love good horror films. This was one is just OK. Special effects seem a bit heavy handed and cheesy.
Story is good but wanders and I never really cared what happened to the main characters. Some good shock moments and all-in-all fun to watch. Just not what I thought it would be.

1/5 Disgusting crap
  by R. Piquette (Medford Oregon)
This movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. And I LOVE horror movies. It started out great...and i had high expectations. But very shortly, the main character showed herself to be unlikeable, stupid and two dimensional. This movie was less gory than oozy, wormy and just gross, and not in the good way. It had some decent special effects, I will give it that. But by the end, my boyfriend and I were yelling at the tv..."Just drag her to hell!! We dont care anymore!!"

1/5 You Have GOT To Be Kidding Me.
  by R. Hammell (Heidelberg, Germany)
The main reason I choose to watch a scary movie is to, well, actually, get scared! For some reason I was under the impression this movie was going to be scary. At least make me jump. Although Sam Raimi certainly has mastered the technique for grossing out his audience, I would like to know who out there older than five years old actually felt scared? The best term to describe this movie: Hokey. Alison Lohman plays such a pathetic little character you end up feeling she deserves not only to be dragged to hell and tortured for an eternity, she deserves every other miserable aspect of her existance. That would include the wimpy boyfriend who continually drops her off at her house to leave her alone through the night after every traumatic (seemingly for her, not the audience)event she endures. I know, it's just a movie, right? A movie that should have been labled "a tour de force in the gross comedy genre." The critics called it "terrifying," "nerve-rattling." Why? This movie is so hokey and has such a plethora of bad actors, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would give it such a high rating. Please Sam, stick to comedy. When it comes to an actual horror film, you are completely clueless.
