“Don’t ever mistake my kindness for weakness…”

SEND HELP premieres in theaters on January 30th 2026. The survival horror-thriller film (directed by Sam Raimi) stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty-three minutes.

Linda survives a plane crash with her crude boss, but they are now stranded on a deserted island with no way to call for help. They attempt to work past their differences to survive while waiting for rescue, but the reality of their situation begins to take a toll on them.

Here is the trailer:

SEND HELP is a fresh, smart, and entertaining film featuring two incredible performances. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

An INCREDIBLE dynamic between characters.

OK…Regina George is back and she SLAYED in this! Wow, Rachel McAdams is one of my favorite actresses of all time and this is why! This is probably my favorite performance by her yet. She really immersed herself into this role. Dylan O’Brien did a solid job also. I thought the banter between them was HILARIOUS. I had no idea this movie would be so funny, but a lot of that had to do with how well they played these characters.

Getting stranded on a deserted island with a boss you despise sounds like a complete nightmare and Rachel McAdams really sold me on this. She is now officially a horror queen! I was blown away by her performance.

More please!

A Perfect horror comedy!

I never looked at the time even once during this film. The pacing worked really well and every moment was intriguing and intense. The comedy really landed for me and I loved how deranged and twisted this was as well. You could definitely tell that Sam Raimi was the director. In a lot of ways, this movie felt like a crazy mash-up of LOST, The Evil Dead, and Triangle of Sadness. That may seem like an odd combination, but it was bloody brilliant and I loved every second of it!

I think I will be returning to the theater to watch this one multiple times. It just felt like CINEMA to me in the best way possible.

The Cons:

I don’t have any…

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I knew that I would LOVE it and I was right. It exceeded my expectations and then some. I don’t have a single con. This was a perfect movie for me.

So am I in or out?

I’m in 100 percent!!!

SEND HELP is a deranged and twisted masterpiece, reminding me why I fell in love with movies in the first place.

Rachel McAdams is a horror queen and absolutely spectacular in this!

It’s safe to say that I absolutely LOVED every aspect of this movie. I can already tell that this will probably be one of my favorites of the year and January isn’t even over yet.
