Send Help (2026) Is Sam Raimi's Triumphant, BLOOD-SOAKED Return to HORROR with Anastasia Elfman!
Episode Description
Sam Raimi is BACK — and he brought the blood, gore and laughs!
This week on The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and John are joined by returning fan favorite Anastasia Elfman to break down Send Help, the gloriously unhinged, darkly comedic horror film that proves Sam Raimi still has the sickest tricks up his sleeve.
We're talking demonic camera moves, Rachel McAdams absolutely losing her mind, the most satisfying workplace revenge scene in recent memory, and enough gore to make Evil Dead fans weep with joy.
Is this the Sam Raimi film we've been waiting for since Army of Darkness? We think so. But we want to know what YOU think.
