Send Help - Reviews

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

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

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.

...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.

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

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

...one of the most entertaining films I’ve seen in recent years...

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

...indulgent Raimi splatter fuelled by a satisfying touch of righteous rage.

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

Wickedly lovable with the potential to be timeless, “Send Help” is controlled delirium microwaved on high heat.

...is zeitgeisty without being ostentatious about it.

Sam Raimi is back, and he’s not brought the MCU with him.

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

Raimi is back in business.
