Must Watch: Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell Trailer!

Sam Raimi, director of Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, is back with another throwback to old school horror. Drag Me to Hell stars Alison Lohman and Justin Long in a creepy and twisted horror adventure like no other. Universal has debuted the first trailer and it is quite incredible. I've seen Drag Me to Hell before and they've done the best job they could summing it up in a trailer. There are some awesome fights in it and that seance scene that you get a glimpse of is pretty frickin' awesome. I won't say more than that, but this trailer should do a perfect job of reminding Raimi fans why they love him in the first place!

Watch the trailer for Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell:

You can also watch the Drag Me to Hell trailer in High Definition on Yahoo

A loan officer (Alison Lohman) ordered to evict an old woman (Lorna Raver) from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse, which turns her life into a living hell. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her and her boyfriend to a breaking point.

Drag Me to Hell is co-written and directed by Sam Raimi, of everything from Evil Dead to Army of Darkness to Darkman to all three Spider-Man movies. The script was written by Sam and his brother Ivan Raimi, who has helped him before on the scripts for Darkman, Army of Darkness, and Spider-Man 3. Universal will be bringing Raimi's Drag Me to Hell in theaters everywhere on May 29th this summer.

Nice. Gypsy curses, it's dark that thing about passing it on too, like in the Ring too. I reckon she deserved it though and probably unloads it on her boyfriend at the end in the same way she fucked over the old woman to get a promotion.
Darrin

dude that was creepy, im in.

Welcome back Sam! We missed ya!

This looks stupid and kinda racist against gypsies to be honest...
-Peter-

this looks pretty lame and doesn't seem much different from any other recent spook movie

What's it rated? I'm tired of all these weak ass PG-13 "horror" movies.
http://www.atomicpopcorn.net Atomic Popcorn

Not my type of movie at all but the trailer did a nice job starting slow and capping it off with some excitement.
Chris

Lame. The return of true horror? I doubt that. This looks on par with those awful Unborn and Uninvited flicks that came out a few months ago. If I see this it won't be in its opening weekend - this will definitely be PG-13 and that means theaters full of kids.
Dave Lister, J.M.C.

And the moral of this story is: bankers are douche-bags.

Holy shit. That demon looks like Gary Busey. Legit

A true Sam Raimi fan and Evil Dead...but this is quite unimpressive. Might be fun, though.
Richard

# 10 LOL awesome, anyway this looks great I wanna see it, I hope its better then those unborn movies etc.
The Dude

Looks good, Army of Darkness was a classic, not to mention Evil Dead.
A.B.

it's always been said that you should stick with wat you know. with that said, sam raimi you can make horrors. welcome back!!!
http://shirtonme.spreadshirt.com Dresden

fuckin' sweet!
mos

i just wanna know where ted raimi was
Jack

Nice, looks like Raimi is back.
Woo-ish

#11 Racist against gypsies? Gypsies don't have homes, thus this old lady can't be a gypsy. Helloooooo
Apollo

Looks ok. I'll see it if there's nothing better to do. "Jumpy" horror is dead to me, no pun intended. It's gore or bust pretty much now. Twitter: Rorschach90
Toucmyinfection

"Witness the return of TRUE horror" FUCK! YES!!!11!!one!1
ocp

She has all that power and still cant pay her mortgage payment? pass
dan

that looks fu*king awesome!!!
PJ

let me just say i absolutely hate the horror genre. this trailer though was awesome and im really excited now.
Matt Suhu

the music sucked.
Fisherr

Sam Raimi is BACK! Nuff Said,Must Watch.
Spike Murdock, Poet-at-Large

They aren't going to be offered a piece of pulsating pie are they? Wasn't Cloverdale supposed to be true horror as well? But, then again, Six String Samurai was supposed to re-invent film according to AICN years ago...
dac

Glad to see Sam back making a decent movie again, now if he would just make one we actually want to see EVIL DEAD, BRUCE CAMPBELL NEEDS A FUCKING PAY CHECK SAM!!!!!!!!!
L

Looks like fun
Ryderup

This looked DTV bad.
Boo-Yah

What's this - a horror movie that's not a remake of something from the 70s/80s and actually looks pretty good?? About time, haha.
Dan W

Eh
Michael McMahan

Am I the only one getting a kind of Beauty and the Beast vibe from this? I know there were no demons fairy tale/movie, but the 'help me or pay' thing is contrived.
Terry

this cant be a horror its a PG-13 movie i cant get my head around that
dom

Can't wait!I've seen the full clip in the carparking lot and its absolutely brilliant - Sam manages to perfectly balance the horror and the comedy.. it really does feel like the guy who made Army of Darkness. Bring it on.
Somnambulist

#11: Andreas That's funny. I didn't hear the word "gypsy" once in that trailer. Looks like you're the one with the prejudice...
CrimsonSnake

looks pretty damn awesome, i know I'm going to enjoy it.
Jamie

F**k Yes. It's great to see Raimi back doing horror. Spider-man 3 really sucked. I just hope with him doing something different that maybe he will have a better vision for Spidey 4 & 5.
alan

hey (up) is comming on the same date but this definately was impressing so i dont no what im going to pick fuck man may is going to be blazing hot
JimD

YES Raimi is back in true form.
Bo

Last I heard, it's rated R, and there is all the over the top gore you would expect from a Sam Raimi horror film
http://youtube.com/snears Nick Sears

WOW! Totally refreshing take on a horror film. Doesn't it just FEEL like a different kind of film, especially considering its from as classically trained as Raimi? I'm not even a horror film fan and that looks wild!
Stephen

I love his work every since I saw Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, but this movie better be R. I really don't consider it really that scary unless a movie gets that rating. However, it is Rami we are talking about here so there is always room for an exception.
Leon

SO LAME!!! LOL.. All this because she got denied for an extention? wow, hollywood is really losing it when it comes to horror movies.
Joey Marione

Throw the dirty old bitch out on her ass and move on. She curses you, you run over the box she's living in while she's asleep. Make yourself throw-up to remove the demon fly from your belly and the movie is over...but not before showing a little scared T&A. This is another piece of crap with some one-eyed old skank who can't pay the bills and is supposed to be threatening and scary. The only things scaring me are the a-holes who are going to spend money to see this in any form.
http://www.dropcards.com/oct8pus Google The Oct8pus

I cursed the people who didn't grant me an exeption, and nothing happened....maybe it only works if you're an 87 year old Ukranian woman...
http://www.imagenfilms.com Marty Martin - IMAGEN Films

This looks surprisingly good actually. Old school AND current. A tough mix to nail.
F.C.

is this Scary Movie 5? it looks lame!
ross

tom hanks would be good in this film
http://movieguyreviews4u.blogspot.com Ryan

Very good.
werdnafaz

omg what a great idea
Kevin

Sign me up!!!
James Mac

I agree with comments 27 and 49. All that power and she couldn't compel the powers of darkness to help her not default on three house payments. All that ire she summoned could have been used to power a small town. The premise ruined it for me.

I'd rather be watching Spider Man 4 right about now! What a waste of time.
neonblue

wow all these people saing ist so refreshing to be honest it reminded me of darkness falls (epic fail) and although im hoping have no real reason to think it will be any better
history repeats

if that old lady can open the gates of hell why cant she make her damn mortgage payments!??
ureyesonly

if you take a closer look at roughly 1:31 you will notice that the demon is in fact .... THE EASTER BUNNY !! Atleast that is what those shadow in the curtains remind me of ^^
Dan

If that Gypsy has soooo much power, why not just summon the demon money god??
Chris

ill believe its good when the reviews come out this summer. Considering horror's reputation hasnt been that good recently
KEN

ThIs MoViE iS gOn Go OfF... i CaNt WaIt TiL iT cOmE oUt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
