QT würdigt Sam Raimis "Drag Me to Hell"
schwanenmeister, 13:05h
Das muss für Sam Raimi runtergehen wie Öl, nachdem die Boxoffice-Zahlen so verhalten waren:
"One of the best movies hands down this year was DRAG ME TO HELL. It was just absolutely terrific. You know one of the things I liked about DRAG ME TO HELL so much, especially for FANGORIA fans, there is this aspect of, we can’t help but be disappointed when Sam Raimi went off to do other kinds of movies; it was almost like he started this visual style with the EVIL DEAD movies and then gave it to everybody else. He didn’t follow it up. Whether it be the Coen brothers or Danny DeVito or whatever. DRAG ME TO HELL was like if Sam had actually gone further as a horror filmmaker [and stuck with the genre], as opposed to branching off into other directions. I could almost imagine this being an Avco Embassy release in 1978. If he had just continued making horror films, then this would have been one of the ones he did, one of his classic ones. It was fantastic. And the end is the best part about it, which is usually the worst part of most horror movies these days. The final moment was the best moment of the whole film."
(Quentin Tarantino, Fangoria)
