Moviegoers are saying
Sam Raimi's 2026 original R-rated horror offering divides audiences between those who appreciate its schlocky, pulpy thrills and others frustrated by its survival premise. Critics praise Raimi's signature directorial flourishes and the chemistry between McAdams and O'Brien, while some viewers question the protagonist's ungrateful attitude in what should be a tense survival scenario.

A true rarity, Send Help feels fresh and unique — so much, in fact, it’s hard to decide whether you want Raimi (or anybody else, for that matter) to make more movies like it, or let it alone, thriving on a far-off island where no one can compromise its singular, idiosyncratic perfection.

Send Help is pure Raimi: a survival thriller that disguises itself as corporate satire before mutating into something far nastier and more fun. It’s ridiculous by design, walking a razor’s edge between menace and mockery, and it thrives in that instability.

It’s been told with enough wit and viscera to outpace many of its competitors.
