Watched "Send Help" it with my wife (not a horror fan) and we both loved it

I'm a sucker for Sam Raimi, so I was already hyped going into this movie and it was everything I'd hoped for. Rachel McAdams is a fantastic lead, teetering between sympathetic and unhinged, and Raimi adds a lot of his signature camera work and comedy making this a "horror" movie with broad appeal.

I watched this with my wife last night, who is, at best, "horror tolerant", and she loved it too.

The horror elements are fairly light, other than a few scenes of violence and body horror, but, as Raimi often does, there's comedy mixed in to turn the horrible into the hilarious. There were definitely scenes where my wife had to turn away while I was cracking up like a maniac.

My only critique is that Bruce Campbell didn't make an appearance.

all in all 8/10 - really fun movie, well directed, well acted, with enough horror to keep a die hard fan satisfied, but also approachable for more casual viewers.

It's included on Hulu right now

▲ 42 r/Saros

Besides just being a cool nod to returnal, anyone else think this has relevance to the lore? Im only about an hour into Saros but the parallels with returnal are so strong im wonderiing if its more than just a studio design thing
- the suit is similar
- the dash is similar
- the guns are similar
- The level doors are similar
- the “fractured” nature the ruins is similar

I mention this because the Returnal crowd has long speculated whether it (the story in the game) was real, a coma induced nightmare, or a metaphor for hell, but looking at these crossover, got me thinking that it was real and Saros is tied in somehow.
