I have a more particular niche, where I like comedy-horror and grossout-horror; flicks that can effectively embrace the tropes of B movie horror.
Drag me to Hell is one that I enjoyed. The protagonist is pretty resilient in spite of the over-the-top effects of the curse.
Ironically; I really DON’T like depictions of misery. Somehow my favorite form of action follows the vein of Wile E Coyote getting squished by an anvil; everyone laughs and the appeal is more in the shock unexpectedness than the raw emotional pain that horror often reveals in.
I just watched Drag me to Hell for the first time in a decade with my wife and siblings in law a week ago. I forgot how funny and over the top it was. I ended up being the only one who finished it.
I got them to watch it by saying it was from the director who did the evil dead. I forgot to say the originals, not the remakes lol
