I've watched the Evil Dead movies dozens of times, but I walked out of Drag Me to Hell - it was just too mean - starting off with gypsies cursing a Mexican boy to be dragged to hell by a demon because he stole a piece of jewelry his parents tried to return - this is just plain nasty - Gypsies, better called Roma, still live under persecution in Europe - and the Hungarian woman that is implied to be gypsy is a grotesque, snot-filled caricature.
In the Evil Dead movies the grotesque things were done to or by demons, not just confused old ladies.
