Celluloid Verdict
Sam Raimi's desert-island horror-comedy cleared 90% critics on a 113-minute survival duel — Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien sell boss-versus-employee dread with enough Raimi camera swagger to land on RT's most popular 2026 horror chart.

What is Send Help about?
When a corporate jet carrying a junior employee and her domineering boss crash-lands on a remote desert island, survival becomes a battle of wills as much as a fight against the elements. Sam Raimi blends survival horror and dark comedy as Rachel McAdams's resourceful staffer and Dylan O'Brien's corner-office tyrant discover that rescue may be less dangerous than sharing a shoreline. Edyll Ismail and Dennis Haysbert widen the ensemble as the island strips away hierarchy and forces both women to decide what help actually means.
