Drag Me to Hell

Oh no, not another PG-13 horror film! "But wait," you say. "It's by Sam Raimi." Perhaps, then, it shouldn't be routinely dismissed as just another tale of demons and ghosts that has been emasculated with the goal of appealing to pimple-faced teen...

Evil Dead

It's tempting to look at the 2013 reincarnation of Evil Dead as yet another pointless remake of an '80s horror film. Haven't there been enough of these? One glance at the credit list reveals that both director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell (o...

Evil Dead II, The

What do you get when you cross George Romero with The Three Stooges by way of the director of A Simple Plan and The Gift? Something offbeat, to be sure. Something grotesque, without a doubt. Something... groovy. Evil Dead II can be seen as ...

Gift, The

The Gift is an example of how superior craftsmanship can transform a ho-hum genre entry into a sporadically gripping thriller. On the surface, there's nothing special about this movie - it's a run-of-the-mill supernatural murder mystery with all o...
