US EditionMovie Review - Send Help (2026)
- On February 03, 2026, Sam Raimi's horror-comedy Send Help opened in cinemas across the UAE, starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien.
- Following the founder's death, Bradley Preston, founder's son and new CEO, intends to let Linda Liddle, Planning & Strategy employee for seven years, go despite her promised promotion.
- After the plane crash, Linda quickly sets up camp and secures food and water, then manipulates Bradley and hides her murders while guarding the forbidden house on the deserted island.
- Critics place Send Help among recent class-stranding films, with Linda ultimately killing Bradley and appearing in a future interview, while her island stay remains undiscovered.
- Casting choices reveal that filmmakers framed Linda's arc around power corrupting her, and producer Zainab Azizi said Raimi softened darker drafts to keep her somewhat redeemable.

She Is the Captain Now: “Send Help,” “Iron Lung,” and “Arco”
Sam Raimi's latest is the ultimate “revenge on a horrible boss” comedy, one far nastier than Horrible Bosses itself, and like 9 to 5's empowered kidnappers, Rachel McAdams' marginalized, fed-up office drone is eminently worth cheering. Ma-a-aybe not when holding a knife dangerously close to her paralyzed employer's privates, but … . Oh, who am I kidding? Especially then.
Rachel McAdams Got “Drowned” in Brownie Batter For SEND HELP
