Raimi Wants Something Simple

In his post-Spider-man world, Sam Raimi is returning to the genre that originally made his name: horror. And his latest movie, “Drag Me To Hell” is set to bring the genre back to its roots for an old-school scare.

In his post-Spider-man world, Sam Raimi is returning to the genre that originally made his name: horror. And his latest movie, “Drag Me To Hell” is set to bring the genre back to its roots for an old-school scare. “I realised I wanted to return to something simple,” the director told Empire Magazine. “We’re just trying to make a scary funhouse ride with a relentless quality to it, like the walls are closing in on the main character †and our audience.” The movie has hit a few bumps since it was originally announced last year with leading lady Ellen Page (known for “Juno” and “X-Men 3”) dropping out due to a conflicting schedule. Over the last eight years, Raimi †who made his name by directing horror movies - has stuck to producing horror projects instead and has accrued an impressive list of films to his name, including “The Grudge” and “30 Days Of Night.” “Drag Me To Hell” marks his directorial return to the genre since he directed “The Gift” in 2000. He is also confirmed as producing “The Grudge 3” and a remake of “The Evil Dead,” both of which are expected to hit theatre next summer. Digg It! Express yourself and be part of the news!
