Why people love it

Drag Me to Hell (2009) stuck because it commits to its horror premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Sam Raimi's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The horror and thriller blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
