After over a decade away from feature filmmaking, Sam Raimi returns with Send Help, a horror-comedy that showcases his knack for blending humor and tension. The film follows Linda (played by Rachel McAdams) as she confronts her oppressive boss Bradley (played by Dylan O’Brien) on a deserted island, leading to a notorious scene involving a fake-out castration that captivates audiences. Raimi emphasizes the performances and emotional stakes behind the violence, which serves to illustrate Linda’s transformation and newfound power. With support from Fox to push creative boundaries, Send Help exemplifies Raimi’s signature style of horror-comedy.
