In this special edition of The Cinematic Schematic, hosts Caleb Masters and Laron Chapman share their individual, quick, off-the-cuff reactions to Sam Raimi’s return to horror, Send Help. The film stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as a boss and his underappreciated employee who find themselves stranded on a tropical island. The power dynamic shifts, and unexpected events ensue.

It’s been 17 years since Raimi made his last original film, Drag Me to Hell. Does he still have the juice?
