Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?
Check your harvest cake for eyeballs, read your animal sacrifice manual closely, and whatever you do, make sure to approve all loan extensions for witches!
Join us in the Midnight Cinema this week as we unspool Sam Raimi's 2009 horror movie Drag Me To Hell. Released in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, audiences and critics were delighted to watch a young bank loan officer (Alison Lohman) get tormented and face eternal damnation!
Art and Erik dig into this short, fast and surprisingly nasty supernatural curse story that blends practical effects, CGI and Raimi's signature style.
Moviegoers loved it, and critics ate it up in the early aughts, but does it still hold up today? We'll take you through every shattered tooth, every killer handkerchief and every flooded grave!
Watch out for anvils!
And we have two new Popcorn Bucket Award winners to hang in the lobby!
Director Sam Raimi, we previously discussed him when we covered The Evil Dead.
Actor Justin Long was praised once before in our episode on Jeepers Creepers!
