Sam Raimi is back and out for blood!
Forty-five years after The Evil Dead hit the silver screen, Sam Raimi returns to his roots with a (relatively) low-budget, high-octane, blood-and-guts-galore dark comedy horror film - Send Help.
It stars Rachel McAdams as you’ve never seen her before, as a disgruntled corporate strategist stranded on a desert island with her appalling boss (Dylan O’Brien) following a plane crash. What starts as LOST-level intrigue soon takes a turn towards the surreal, as Raimi’s signature frenetic filmmaking style kicks in, and gearshifts the narrative in an increasingly gruesome direction.
But, it’s not just violence for violence’s sake. Not only does the film highlight how far we will go to survive in a literal sense, but how carnal and self-destructive corporate work culture has become.
If you were trapped on an island with a terrible boss who just wouldn’t give you a promotion, how long would it take before you cracked?
