Horror-comedy may be the most difficult subgenre to pull off, with most efforts like <em>Cabin Fever</em> getting the "comedy" right and bungling the "horror". Sam Raimi is such a skilled filmmaker though that <em>Drag Me To Hell</em> can be appreciated either for its Three Stooges sense of humor, its dark moral, or both. Thanks for commenting! <strong>Dan</strong>: Yeah, I watched <em>A Simple Plan</em> again about a year ago. It's a terrific film, but it didn't hold up quite as well for me, now that I know the twists and turns. If I haven't completely alienated the Sam Raimi enthusiasts in the house, I should mention that I haven't seen <em>Evil Dead 2</em> yet. Patricia: Nice review!

I liked DMTH, too, but just A Simple Plan again this week and fell into an even deeper love with it. Great review here as always! “Drag Me To Hell has replaced A Simple Plan as my favorite Sam Raimi movie”

Blasphemy!

I liked DMTH, too, but just A Simple Plan again this week and fell into an even deeper love with it.

Great review here as always!

See my review for this one: http://pppatty.blogspot.com/2009/06/drag-me-to-hell-2009.html I also recently viewed Trick 'r Treat which you covered as well, but had little to add to your very excellent summary.
