Wednesday, May 6, 2009 at 12:44AM Two New 'Drag Me To Hell' Commercials
Here's the deal about Drag Me to Hell being rated PG-13: I get that Universal wants to draw the biggest crowd possible and that R-rated movies tend to cut a swath through your total box office from time to time. But this is a horror movie, and if the stuff that happens to Alison Lohman in this movie happened to me, I'm sure I'd utter more than one F-bomb, which would make me rated R.

So we'll probably get one offending word, but we can't get any more, and that's a bigger thing to me than blood or gore. Some things just weren't meant to get PG-13 ratings; it's no different than if Pixar made Wall-E swear like a sailor or showed Mr. and Mrs. Incredible practicing to make baby Jack Jack. Some things just don't fit. I mean, this is being billed as the return of "true horror," right?
A couple of new commercials have debuted for Drag Me to Hell, and ratings notwithstanding, I'm still interested to see what Sam Raimi will do in his horror movie comeback, and I think Alison Lohman has been unjustly ignored for years.
Commercials courtesy of Trailer Addict Drag Me to Hell will be in theaters on May 29th. I know Universal would love to get some Strangers dollars out of the same weekend that was so beneficial to them last year, but wouldn't you know it? That movie was rated R. Curious.
