Send Help is the latest effort from legendary director Sam Raimi, who is one of the best director in terms of horror and in terms of comic book films and was something that I was curious about but cautiously optimistic and skeptical because the marketing had me a little conflicted.

Let this be living proof to not doubt things from the great director himself. In this video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall gives his thoughts on “Send Help”, from the direction to the story all the way to the performances of its cast and is it worth a watch. Find out my full thoughts here.
