A Sam Raimi direction set close to its release can be a subject of much scrutiny and anticipation, having earned a familiar roll of tongue of his name on any regular movie-buffs tongue after his legendary first tri-installations of the Spider Man movies, Raimi is now set to premiere his upcoming horror pick; Send Help, with much buzz around it, with a cast that catches a twitch on ones ears, brings back flashes of 2000’s-2020’s crushes on the big screen. 

Much eagerness around its release based on the promises being made to the audiences, the movie is a short yet long while away from gracing the throng with its being-assumed, mastery  of a storytelling, a horrifying one at that.

Studded with Mean Girls gem Rahcel McAdams and the Teen Wolf crush Dylan O’Brien, the apparent Misery x Castaway compound is giving all the appropriate visuals, and is set to hit the screens on January 30, 2026. With a year-long period-of-anticipation, the audience cannot help but work up a buzz around the to-be-sister to the Evil Dead franchise. Actors Chris Pang (Crazy Rich Asians) and Dennis Haysbert are to star in the movie as well.

Broken through and into the industry with her 2000’s chick-flicks, The Notebook actress, McAdams has done her homework, with a fair share of horror slash crime and thrillers, from Red Eye alongside Cillian Murphy to the true-story-based A Most Wanted Man, up her sleeve, we know she is not unprepared to deliver. Joined by the Maze Runner poster-face Dylan O’Brien, it only keeps getting more interesting to wait for.

Long gone but never buried, Evil Dead lives on

Having been tagged as the mastermind behind the Evil Dead movies recently having reached its fifth reprise—and having successfully triggered a butterfly effect in the horror world; Raimi is not the least bit of a stranger to giving a good scare and a good story to go with it, to the spectators.
