I know everyone has different taste and opinions, and sadly for some odd reason people seem to dislike this movie, but a 6,6 is utterly disgraceful for this movie. It should be between 7,5-8,0.
Oh Captain! My Captain!
When you see films like The Conjuring, Midsommar, Hereditary, Dawn of the Dead 2004 and so on sitting on 7.0+ this film is definitely underrated.
shareI personally found this movie HILARIOUS but also GROSS, in terms of many factors involving foul things going into mouths, which is a real turn-off for me!
Post-2000 horror films, even the acclaimed ones, generally get lower IMDB ratings, relatively speaking, so a 6.6 rating is actually damn good for the genre.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe, It Follows, Sinister, and The Babadook all have a 6.8 rating each, and those are considered modern classics of the genre. X is the most acclaimed slasher film in years (maybe even decades!), and it has a 6.7 rating and will probably drop even further since it's so new. Modern horror is seriously the most divisive genre in film. Every one of the aforementioned films, along with Drag Me to Hell, will show up on plenty of horror fans' "best horror films" list. They will also show up on plenty of "most overrated horror films" list. I would be pretty surprised if anybody reading this post was a big fan of every film I just mentioned, that's how divisive horror is these days.
For Drag Me to Hell, many thought it was a great combination of horror and comedy, but I'm sure some thought the genre mixing didn't work, and for sure, I know many people who hated the ending or thought the entire plot was unfair to the protagonist, which would sour the film as a whole for many viewers.
