Send Help - Kritiken

The film’s gender politics and Gen Z slaps aren’t going to earn universe endorsements. But Raimi’s delivered a laugh-out-loud variation on a well-worn theme.

...Raimi returns to simpler delights: namely, putting his leads through harrowing hell as they struggle to survive the elements and each other.

...a dynamic thriller / revenge fantasy that will satisfy your blood lust and confirm what you suspect about life as a female corporate cube rat.

...shifts from office satire to stranded-island survival and then detonates into full-throttle horror-comedy chaos.

The genre master is back, and he hasn't missed a step.

...you’re really not sure where this film is going to end up or how you’ll feel when it gets there. It’ll be disgusting fun along the way, though.

The brilliant Send Help with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien is the first must-see thriller of 2026

Raimi's first R-rated movie in 25 years has thorny gender politics, great performances, and a lot of fun.

This is the type of sturdy, bloody, silly January genre programmer we need on the big screen again.

Raimi is back in business. 

...a terrific version of the survival thriller.

...a bloody, exceedingly clever, darkly funny movie that takes a nuanced look at gender and the corrupting nature of power.
