Drag Me to Hell (2009) - 8/10

I appreciated casting mostly unknowns (I only recognized Justin Long, from that awful Die Hard movie), as it helped the suspension of disbelief. Alison Lohman was very likable as the lead, and her character
was interesting. At times it was genuinely scary, and at times I found myself laughing, like when
Christine killed the kitten. It was well directed and well shot, with great music. I also loved the twist ending.

Evil Dead (2013) - 6/10

I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would, but I certainly didn’t love it. In terms of production, it was first rate, with great effects, great direction, creepy music, and fun camerawork. In terms of story it was mediocre, and I didn’t care for some characters, and one I outright hated (the brother). I liked the female lead and the Kurt Cobain looking guy (who got absolutely brutalized), and I liked the changes to the original story.
