bleh was looking forward to this, pg13? damn they could have really cranked out the gore hose with an R rating and dwarfed all 3 evil deads combined.

sam raimi should be ashamed.

Fuck the haters. This film is amazing.

Making it as an R rated film wouldn't have improved it by much, if at all. It doesn't rely on blood, guts and gore like other horror films to deliver the scares and it's all the better for it.

You'd be doing yourself a great disservice by passing on this gem.

I'm sure I'll see it eventually, I just will never go to the theater to support PG-13 horror. Even if it's good, which it probably is since both Bloody-Disgusting reviewers gave it a 4.5/5, it could only have been better if it was R. I suspect the workprint/test screening that B-D saw and raved about was from before it got neutered to a PG-13 though, and that we'll see a 'real' version of it come DVD/Blu-ray time.

Sure, generally speaking horror is a genre benefits from an R rating, but what a silly reason not to see something you acknowledge will likely be good anyway. I understand being prejudice toward a lower rating of something based on an established IP that you can say for sure would benefit from an R rating, but this isn't that. This could be anything, and it sounds like whatever it is it's good. I've used this argument before, but 2001: A Space Odyssey is rated G. Judging movies based solely on rating without source material to site seems pretty juvenile to me.

Without spoiling the film (I went into the film blind and I advise others do too), all I can say is you're wrong, and you'll see that when you end up seeing the film.

An R rating would have made so little difference to the quality of the film that it's a total nonfactor.

Wow I thought this looked completely terrible from the trailer but the reviews are so positive, and for a horror film, really makes me want to check it out

Ancalagon · 05-29-2009, 06:55 PM

Oh my god. Just got back from this. Run, do not walk, run! to go and see this movie. Honestly the best $10 I ever spent. Bravo!

Erumaron · 05-29-2009, 07:24 PM

I'm with Ham on this. I feel almost like all of the people hyping it are a part of some scam or something but there's too many for that to be the case. I'm baffled that this is actually good. Girlfriend and I are going to check it out tomorrow.

Malice · 05-29-2009, 07:25 PM

Saw it today. Amazing movie, not really scary, just great fun.

Dumar · 05-29-2009, 07:56 PM

how does it compare to evil dead? i haven't spent money on a movie in years. but if it's anything like evil dead, it probably deserves my money.

im gonna see this tomorrow and while im a mega huge fan of evil dead 2 i would like to see a brand new movie and not have to sit through Raimi going back to the evild dead well.

when evil dead 2 came out there was nothing quite like it and thats why it became an instant classic. the original evil dead while being hilariously gory was a really shitty movie. i think thats why Raimi remade it. army of darkness is just a parody of itself and even though its not a bad movie it was no evil dead 2. for some reason when i see the teaser for Drag me to Hell it reminds me of an old Cronenberg film like Rabid or Videodrome. very much on the creepy

Hmm, contemplating seeing this by myself. You can see horror movies by yourself right, or is that against the rules? (I know comedies of any form are)

It's really the kind of movie you want to see with a good friend, but in lieu of that, see it by any means necessary.
