last one that just blew my mind for how bad it sucked was House Of The Dead. i couldnt believe they actually printed that garbage.

Dario has always been off and on with his movies. I new it was going to be bad when he cast asia. Lets be real her acting skills have always left something to be desired.
Not as off as he has been lately, I can't remember another of his films that I have despised so much. This third one was just utter rubbish, hope he pulls a good one out with Giallo.
As for Asia Argento, her acting isn't bad all the time, she has improved over time and that was one reason I was surprised with her acting in the Three Mothers film(even though she was mediocre, her acting was the best in the film...) She was decent in Red Siren, xXx, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, she was a memorable character in Marie Antoinette and was rather good in The Last Mistress.
I didn't mind her in the STENDHAL Syndrome. Jennifer Jason Leigh was someone Dario had in mind to play the lead before going for Asia Argento, as much as I like Argento, I think Leigh would have been excellent, amazing actress.
Wasn't Argento's voice dubbed over? because from what I can remember in parts it didn't sound like her voice at all.

I know someone else who really disliked Drag me to Hell.
I think a lot of people didn't know what to expect on that one. They weren't prepared for the corny camp-fest that it was, and were expecting something really scary and dry, rather than goofy and fun.
