Sam Raimi has always understood how quickly a bad situation can spiral completely out of control. A simple conversation turns into a screaming match, or a minor inconvenience mutates into a full-blown nightmare, and often characters panic harder than they should, make worse decisions because of it, and somehow dig themselves even deeper into chaos every passing minute. That rhythm has defined some of Raimi's best work across horror, superhero movies, and dark comedies for decades, but Send Helpfeels like the first time in years Raimi has been allowed to go completely feral with his best instincts again. The result is not just one of the funniest and most thrilling movies of 2026: it is one of the year's best overall movies so far.
