Definately the best horror film since, God knows i can't remember...maybe the original Saw.

Ok so you know who Raimi is right, consider the fact the promotions of all the 'DRAG ME TO HELL' promos state from the Director of Evil Dead & Spiderman.

Well truthfully what do you expect, when Raimi does Camp Horror.

No, i'm talking about a horror movie set on a camp site. I'm talking about that good old brilliant genre that's been dead since probably Evil Dead 2 revived back to life by its master, before it goes to hell.

Our story starts off with loan manager, Chrisitne Brown (Alison Lohman), who has the perfect job, a loving boyfriend,Clay (Justin Long) waiting to find the right moment to propose. And if things could get any better, a manager position opens up and of course the rivalry between her and a collague, Stu (Reggie Lee). But things take a masive turn for the worse when Sylvia Ganush, appears begging an extension on the mortgage, but obviously impressing the boss, doesn't go so well, as Sylvia is shamed.

And so we believe everything is safe, not until Christine really leaves work, which rallys up to a tour de force battle in a car between Chrisitine and Ms Ganush, which you've never seen anything quite as horrific and comical as this, i've never seen so much creativity in a bloody car as this. Its brilliant and it obviously ends with the curse known as the 'LAMIA' been laid down on a bitch, just when you think Christine has won this round.

Well its far from over, as the next 1hr or so are barrels of fun, laughter, gut welching, tear-dropping eugh or LOL scenes from a water grave, to a cat being scarificed, and a lovely twist and well GOATS HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARY.

And neither has my friend, because her name is Lamia, spooky

In all definition Sam restores himself back as top of his league with this spectacular installment to his filmography and shows that he is the only guy that still has originality.

I'm proud to call this ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF 2009 and it doesn't need outrageous special effects to do so.

    LMAO, i laughed, when they made the big deal and the whole jumpy feel, with the woman's cloth, and all it did was fly past the windshield window, lmao.

    Everyone in my cinema jumped.

    Also did any of you guys know there is a species of goat known as the Lamia Goat?
