Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Sam Raimi has exec. produced many horror flicks under his GHOST HOUSE banner, but for the first time since he started that company up he's actually directing one called DRAG ME TO HELL, a supernatural horror flick he co-wrote with his brother, Ivan.

What's interesting is that this isn't a new project. They wrote it right after ARMY OF DARKNESS. At that point it was called THE CURSE. No real details have come out, but the trades have a blurb about it being about "an unwilling recipient of a supernatural curse."

So, totally good news... But I must say, one bit in the Variety story has me a little worried. There's a quote from long-time Raimi collaborator, Rob Tapert, who will produce this flick that goes like this: "Sam calls it a 'spook-a-blast,' a wild ride with all the chills and spills that 'Evil Dead' delivered, without relying on the excessive violence of that film."

I'm all for creatively shooting around gore and upping suspense and atmosphere, but when I hear Ghost House and a desire to stay away from excessive violence... well, I get worried we're being prepared for a tame Sam Raimi horror flick. SPIDER-MAN's Sam Raimi, not EVIL DEAD's Sam Raimi. Maybe we'll meet in the middle and get something like THE GIFT, which is pretty damn good... Or maybe I have nothing to worry about and we'll see Raimi's return to low-budget horror late next year and dance in the streets when it's as awesome as we all want it to be. Now he just has to get Bruce in there... Thoughts?
