has anyone said pulse yet? It sucked as a horror film, worked kinda as a comedy though

AH I was just reminded of Pulse 2!
That was TERRIBLE, I nearly fell asleep... :/
Could it have been anymore dull?

Obviously you're not familiar with Sam Raimi horror movies. They're SUPPOSED to have all those things. That's what makes them so delightful.

I'm not saying that Drag Me to Hell was a bad movie, as I can see how others would like it, but it was really disappointing for me personally, especially when it was touted to be Raimi's big return to the horror genre. I appreciated the Evil Dead-like over the top comedy in some cases, but much of it felt forced or out of place, and the the story might be the least original that he's ever done. Also, yes, Stof, the ending was predictable

Dragonball Evolution was probably the worst movie of 2009.

I wasn't a big fan of Drag Me To Hell but I thought it was fun and it entertained me for 90 minutes. It wasn't in the class of his Evil Dead movies but it was watchable.

I'd say Drag me to Hell was easily better than Army of Darkness. As fun as AoD was, it was just a bit too hamy. It had no underlying horror or solid emotional state. Just an hour and a half of "lets beat Ash up" Which was great, don't get me wrong, but it lacked the balance the other films had.

and anyways, what was a better horror movie released in the last five or ten years?

I'd agree with that. Despite my friends' protestations, I'm not a huge AoD fan. The first two Evil Deads were way better.

As for better horror movies in the past ten years, I'd start with Dawn of the Dead, The Descent, The Mist, 28 Days Later, and 1408 for starters.

Personally, I really liked 1408.

Notice I left off the Saw movies. The first one was good (but a little gory for my tastes) and each one became progressively more annoying as time went on. I haven't bothered to watch the last two.

Army of Darkness didn't need underlying horror or a solid emotional state. It was a succesful deviation from the first two movies in that regard, and kind of moved away from the horror genre. The reason why I brought the movie up is because, in my opinion, the humour in Drag Me to Hell was a failed attempt by Raimi to replicate what he successfully accomplished with Army of Darkness. While I found a couple of the comedy scenes to be well done, most of them felt out of place when coupled with such uncharismatic actors. Like I said before, I don't think that Drag Me to Hell is a bad movie, I just consider it to be a major disappointment and a step below the movies that he is famous for.

I can't say that I've enjoyed many horror movies that have been released in the last decade. The Mist and Bubba ho-tep are the only ones that come to mind right now, and calling the latter a horror movie is probably arguable anyway. 

just when I blocked this movie out of my memory, you bring it right back. And yes, it's a terrible terrible movie.
