“Drag Me to Hell”: What Happened?

Horror comedies don’t fly with audiences?  Who knew?  Anyway, that’s part of the theory Anne Thompson is positing to explain Drag Me to Hell‘s poor box office performance despite great reviews.

I wonder if Evil Dead II had similar troubles over two decades ago?  It was the first horror comedy (and the first Raimi flick) I ever saw.  It still works after 22 years!

Plus, Anne’s theory of what’s wrong with Away We Go.  Too bad.  Looked like a nice movie.
