Show Notes
After a decade spent in the world of big-budget blockbusters — including three SPIDER-MAN films — Sam Raimi returned to his horror roots with 2009’s DRAG ME TO HELL.
The result? A lean, mean, gross-out machine packed with bodily fluids, demonic goats, and Raimi’s signature mix of slapstick and sadism. But DRAG ME TO HELL wasn’t just a nostalgic exercise — it was Raimi proving he could still go toe-to-toe with the new generation of horror directors, delivering a fast-paced supernatural thrill ride with bite.
In this episode, we dive into Raimi’s motivations for returning to horror, the roots of the DRAG ME TO HELL script, and how the film’s blend of morality tale and chaos fits snugly into the filmmaker’s larger body of work.
