from Sparrow's Under Review · host Jr Sparrow

Stacey and Jr. Sparrow sit down with King Jerm to review a 2026 thriller directed by Sam Raimi, starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. Jr. calls it his top film of the first quarter of 2026 — a suspenseful, twist-filled ride that kept him on the edge of his seat. Stacey came in for Rachel McAdams and left with a lot to say about the film's morally complex lead character.What We Cover:First impressions and why this film was on Jr.'s radar earlySam Raimi's filmography and how this film compares to his usual style (think Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness)Stacey's "you go, girl" reaction to the main character's big revealThe moment Stacey says the character went too far — and what she would have done differentlyThe subtle clues you might miss on a first watch (and why Jr. wants to rewatch it)Comparisons to M. Night Shyamalan's Old and other suspense films from recent yearsBy the Numbers:Budget: $40 millionBox Office: $90.4 millionRotten Tomatoes: 93% positiveMetacritic: 75/100CinemaScore: B+The Verdict: A well-earned B+ in the hosts' book — with Jr. ready to rewatch for hidden clues and Stacey impressed by the lead's calculated, survivor-mentality performance.
