[Review] Send Help (Sam Raimi, 2026)

The Triumph of Linda: From Broken Glass to the Boar’s Demise (Visioned by Gemini AI)

"O, What a Noble Mind is Here O’erthrown: The Taming of the Tyrant CEO"

Behold Sam Raimi, the grand alchemist of the macabre, who, e’er he scaled the heights of Marvel’s towers with Spider-Man and Strange, didst revel in the bloody mire of Evil Dead. After a long winter’s silence since Drag Me to Hell, he returneth to his dark craft. His art is a curious marriage of ‘excessive gore’ and ‘severed limbs,’ entwined with the wit of a jester. His latest masque, Send Help—known in our tongue as Taming the Boss—is a quintessential mirror of his grisly domain. Verily, the local title striketh more truly to the heart than the original; for what soul hath not felt the urge to strike down a villainous master?

Enter Linda (Rachel McAdams), a maiden of vast merit in the counting-house of finance, yet cursed by the ‘glass ceiling’ and the foul breath of office intrigue. Her new lord, Bradley (Dylan O’Brien), a youth of nepotism and hollow grace, seeketh to banish her from his sight. Yet, fate—and a tempestuous sky—conspire against them. Their chariot of the clouds doth plummet into the briny deep, casting them upon a desert isle. Here, the scales are righted! Linda, a scholar of the wild and mistress of survival, findeth her true throne, whilst Bradley, shorn of his titles, dwindleth into a piteous knave.

In the world of men, Linda’s toil was stolen and her passion mocked; she was marked for the cull. Thus, the isle is no prison, but a sanctuary where vengeance may ripen. Bradley, a creature of petty politics, findeth himself the quarry in a game of ‘Misery.’ Raimi careth not merely for the woes of the workplace, but for the crimson spectacle of the hunt. Linda, with the fury of Princess Mononoke, slayeth the boar, while Bradley beggeth for life with a desperation more wretched than any seen in Triangle of Sadness.

The play beginneth as a social chronicle, shifteth into a disaster, and endeth in a conflagration of bloody retribution. Raimi, the master of the revels, bringeth the curtain down with a flourish of dopamine and gore. Mark well: the visage of Bruce Campbell haunteth the halls as a portrait of Bradley’s sire. A grand, gory feast for the senses! ★★★★ By Jae-hwan Park, Seoul (2026)
