Send Help - new Sam Raimi tropical survival thriller horror comedy

Had a wild time at this last night. There doesn't seem to be any discussion about it here, so just wanted to flag it for any Raimi fans, who should absolutely see it as soon as possible. Great performances from the leads, particularly Rachel McAdams, who absolutely shines. Plenty of bloody, gorey, stabby Raimisms.

As far as downsides, there are some scenes where the CGI doesn't quite work. It's no spoiler to stay that this movie revolves around a plane crash and the plane looks terrible, but this is forgivable.

Also, a little weird that we don't seem to have a long-running dedicated Raimi thread on ILX.

Raimi superfan Walter Chaw was kinda cool on it: https://filmfreakcentral.net/2026/01/send-help-2026/

not been interested in Raima for a while, but trailer for this did look pretty good

xp: Bummer that he didnt like it. It sounded like everyone in my theater was having fun.

Another critic I trust re Raimi, Vern, hasn't posted a full review yet, but put it pretty low in his overall Raimi rankings on Bluesky. That's too bad, because the trailer sold me 100%. I'll check it out when it hits Amazon or HBO.

Blank Check pod dropped an episode today abt this & they all dug it. I def want to see it!
