And I was pleasantly surprised with a hysterical. And horrific movie Sam Rainey was put on the -- We evil dead. He he it sort of ironic that he came up around the same time as the Cohen Brothers and a similar start where he made the short film and raise money through and some lawyers. And need this movie that just floored everyone there's it was blood simple as was blood simple -- is was evil dad. Odd since that time making his evil that trilogy these days. Three horror films he's he's done some serious movies a couple superhero ones but now he's returned to couples and all superhero ones I -- in out of Florida called -- right -- angry. Like the Coen Brothers I think doing No Country for Old Men -- returning to their thriller roots and doing their ultimate thriller. Really has now gone back and said. I'm gonna do the ultimate. Horror film. And that is -- style ring he's out and that is drag me to hell it stars Allison. Mack is a loan officer and a bank. Who these first by a Gypsy woman and and she has three days to figure out is going on -- Before you get ads and get out into -- before she gets. Drag to pay.

A really off some Twilight Zone episode or something it's it's it's certainly does -- to be the ultimate horror movie nor does it. I think intensity but why is it a load of fun to watch. There's so much wit and humor. And inventiveness. In this movie that it is absolutely a barrel of laughs -- mean. It's -- it's I was more comedy that is horror movie. But is that wonderful whore or you're laughing as you feel uncomfortable and there's also is on the Larry is that happened in Afghanistan and relieves my tension also announced yet again.

" Yeah I mean this movie is classic. -- raining whore it's funny. Dare I genuine scares the hell I felt that he liked a lot on audio Q. The reason want -- got scared which which works and is cool. There you know Jeff you're right there are things in his January like that is not only just brilliant. Concept that is so much fun because it's so easy and you holding your hand but also -- felt like there was a lot of really cool. Everything's a very deliberately. Even deliberate camera work that was varies sort smart in displaying how how things were going to be happening -- others yes kind of thing."

" Account is always an early on -- the questions that of the camera. Most of I would tell you."

" The rain means of themselves -- angles and what did it."

" And that that old apocryphal story of how they strapped amateur."

" Supply. The monster and you. It's obvious our -- I really enjoyed this and think you're right they're definitely.
