Linda Turns the Tables on Her Smug Boss in a Raimi- flavored Island Thriller

In Sam Raimi’s Send Help, Rachel McAdams delivers a standout performance as Linda Liddle, a sharp consultant whose corporate trip with an overbearing boss (Dylan O’Brien) goes awry after a plane crash, stranding them on a tropical island. The pair’s power dynamic shifts as Linda’s survival savvy clashes with Bradley Preston’s smug arrogance, blending horror-tinged suspense with dark humor in a genre-bending thriller. Filmed in Australia and Thailand, the film showcases Raimi’s versatile touch and McAdams’s range, with Send Help arriving January 30, 2026 from 20th Century Studios and touted as a strong early gem for 2026.

Raimi's Send Help: Witty Island Clash Marred by Gore

Sam Raimi returns with Send Help, a desert-island survival story that pits Linda Liddle against a spoiled CEO after a plane crash; the setup is sharp and satirical, and Rachel McAdams delivers a solid performance, but the film veers into gratuitous gore that undercuts believability and derails some of the satire, leaving the latter half feel derivative despite the strong opener. Release dates: Australia Jan 29, US Jan 30, UK Feb 5.
