Evil Dead director's new survival horror movie debuts to positive first reactions, calling it "deliciously sadistic" and "incredibly funny"

Rachel McAdams in Send Help.

Evil Dead director Sam Raimi's upcoming movie Send Help seems to be winning over horror fans, as the survival thriller debuts to overwhelmingly positive first reactions.

Following an early press screening, first reactions to the Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien starrer are trickling in on social media, with many moviegoers praising the film's comedic elements, even going as far as to compare it to Raimi's 2009 flick Drag Me to Hell. "Send Help is a MASSIVE win for the Drag Me to Hell fans!... At times feels like Raimi's sadistic take on Phantom Thread – a karmic undressing of monstrous man-babies in an inverted power dynamic," said Film Peak's Griffin Schiller.
