Deputy Entertainment Editor Alicia Adejobi says she never understood the hype of Sam Raimi's 2009 cult classic horror movie - until now.

Poor Christine just can’t catch a break thanks to the old lady’s curse It’s not often that I disagree with the hype around a good horror film, but I never used to understand the immense praise for Drag Me To Hell. Not only does it boast a staggering 92% on Rotten Tomatoes but its fiercest defenders have hailed it as an ‘underrated gem’, one of their ‘favourite horror films of all time’ and ‘the scariest horror film ever’. Many have even crowned it with a 10/10 rating.

Drag Me To Hell is every inch bonkers, ridiculous and unhinged But that’s what makes it so great Even now, it’s still billed as a supernatural mystery on a Google search. However, anyone who has seen Sam Raimi’s blockbuster knows it’s more like a comedy caper than anything else. Bonkers, ridiculous, unhinged and insane are probably some of the words to describe it best. It’s not quite Scary Movie levels of silliness but, honestly, it’s certainly heading in that direction.
