SAM RAIMI GOES BACK TO HIS HORROR ROOTS FOR BRILLIANT BATTLE OF THE SEXES SURVIVAL THRILLER

- REVIEWS BY DAMON SMITH

TROUBLE in paradise unleashes satisfying spurts of blood and gore as Evil Dead director Sam Raimi returns to the horror genre in a hilariously unhinged survival thriller written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift.

Rachel McAdams embraces the ungainly physicality and spiralling delirium of her reluctant anti-heroine, who turns the tables on bullying work colleagues in the most satisfyingly overblown and garish fashion.

Socially awkward savant Linda Liddle (McAdams) is a lynchpin of the Planning & Strategy Department at Preston Strategic Solutions a brilliant mind with a toe-curling inability to read a room, who is long overdue a promotion to executive level as a reward for years of dedicated service.
