Campy, funny and scary but the ending is a let down. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at jackiekcooper.com (Jackie K. Cooper)
Boxoffice Magazine (Richard Mowe)
Drag Me to Hell shows him (director Sam Raimi) back confidently where he belongs, displaying his trademark brio and invention. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Boxoffice Magazine (Richard Mowe)

If Raimi had a rubber skeleton he could launch into the audience, he probably would. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at eFilmCritic.com (David Cornelius)
Daily Mail [UK] (Christopher Tookey)
Bad taste? Undoubtedly. And the slim storyline only just sustains itself to feature length. But if you're in the mood for this kind of impishness, it's extremely jolly entertainment. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Daily Mail [UK] (Christopher Tookey)
Total Film (Jamie Graham)
Gaudy, ghoulish, this particular creepshow plugs into the EC Comics of the '50s, laughing uproariously in the face of death. Forgettable, but groovy while it lasts. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Total Film (Jamie Graham)
Guardian [UK] (Andrew Pulver)
Raimi is a master at maintaining a particular type of cinematic tone: scary without being unwatchable, and revolting without losing wit. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Guardian [UK] (Andrew Pulver)

A delirious haunted house carnival ride. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at The Screengrab (Nick Schager)

Drag Me to Hell is pure cheese. Goat cheese. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at New York Post (Kyle Smith)

Oh no, not another PG-13 horror film! "But wait," you say. "It's by Sam Raimi. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Time Out (Nigel Floyd)

What Would Toto Watch? (Christian Toto)
Drag Me to Hell? More like sauntering through purgatory. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at What Would Toto Watch? (Christian Toto)
CinemaBlend.com (Joshua Tyler)
In modern horror there's always a line they can't cross. Drag Me To Hell stabs it, sacrifices it, buries it in the back yard, and then gets away with it by giving the audience a wink and a nod. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at CinemaBlend.com (Joshua Tyler)
Toronto Star (Peter Howell)
Apart from the evocative title, which is a great nod to '50s drive-in fare, the film is as predictable as a meal beneath the golden arches. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Toronto Star (Peter Howell)
Ain't It Cool Movie Reviews (Moriarty)
[The] brand-new self-described "spook-a-blast" is a nasty little bit of cyanide fun, a new Sam Raimi horror film, and it is an indecent amount of fun. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Ain't It Cool Movie Reviews (Moriarty)
Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Scott Von Doviak)
Entertaining enough in its squishy-squirmy way, and the payoff delivers a little jolt of that old time Raimi magic. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Scott Von Doviak)
eFilmCritic.com (Rob Gonsalves)
The movie is manic and gross, all right, but not much fun unless you enjoy watching an attractive 29-year-old woman getting punished repulsively over and over. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Rob Gonsalves)
Screen International (Brent Simon)
A slickly made, engaging horror film that evokes the spirit of much of the director's early work. ...read the complete Drag Me to Hell movie review at Screen International (Brent Simon)

Maybe it is because I don't like horror movies but I didn't like this at all. I was dragged there, no pun intended. It was a little too much for ...
by Tetramobile on July 17, 2009 New York, New York
The thing that makes this movie so great is that it doesn't rely on the special effects to scare you. It makes the story scary and the littlest of things make you jump in your seat. Sure, some things could be done better, but I haven't been ...
