Before directing massive superhero blockbusters, Sam Raimi was the king of independent horror, famous for "The Evil Dead" franchise. During the scene where Doc Ock's mechanical tentacles wake up and brutally murder the surgical team, Raimi briefly returns to his horror roots. He uses his signature POV camera zooms, rapid cuts, female screams, and chainsaw-like noises, making the hospital scene a terrifying homage to his own classic horror directing style.
