Search: Starring Ted Raimi

  • Drag Me To Hell (2009)
    Review preview for Drag Me To Hell

    Manages to include a whole stack of annoying cliches, stereotypes and habits that it could well do without.

    Andrew Robertson · 3.5 out of 5
    A bank clerk having a bad day crosses an old gypsy woman and is afflicted with terrible curse.
  • The Evil Dead (1981)
    Review preview for The Evil Dead

    It's not a classic. Not yet.

    Gator MacReady · 4 out of 5
    Five students unwittingly unleash flesh-possessing demons in a cabin, in the woods.
  • Failure! (2023)
    Review preview for Failure!

    It’s a gem of a role for Raimi, who delivers the smooth talk and captures the high flying businessman look perfectly but shows us the human being behind them.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    Due to a massive debt with his bank, James is given one hour to choose between financial ruin or murder to protect his family. Shot in one single take with no cuts.
  • The Grudge (2004)
    People succumb to a terrible curse, in remake of Japanese original.
  • Seaquest DSV: Series 1 (1993)
    Review preview for Seaquest DSV: Series 1

    A soggy experience.

    Andrea Mullaney · 2 out of 5
    The missions of an underwater team, with added dolphin.
  • Spider-Man (2002)
    Review preview for Spider-Man

    The 12-certificate seems severe. This is a kids movie if ever there was one.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2.5 out of 5
    Bitten by a spider in a museum, a shy youth begins to develop strange abilities.
  • Spider-Man 2 (2004)
    Review preview for Spider-Man 2

    The effects are eye-popping and the look of the film is exquisite.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4.5 out of 5
    Spidey reluctantly returns to save New York from a mad scientist.
  • Spider-Man 3 (2007)
    Review preview for Spider-Man 3

    Whooshing between buildings at high speed over and over again feels like an overdose of Ritalin. The three-way baddie climax is nauseating, unexciting and full of contrivances.

    Scott Macdonald · 2 out of 5
    Spider-Man fights three villains, and himself.
  • Wishmaster (1997)
    Review preview for Wishmaster

    In the spirit of goregush horror flicks, this Wes Craven production is highly creative in disembowelment techniques.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    Wishes turn sour - and slasher-heavy - thanks to a demonic djinn.
