They’re not in the office anymore. And no help is coming. Director Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell) is back early next year with the darkly comedic psychological thriller Send Help, and 20th Century Studios has unleashed the official trailer today. Watch below!
While not a straight up horror movie in the way Drag Me to Hell marked Raimi’s full-on return to horror back in 2009, it’s clear from the trailer that Send Help will allow Raimi to flex those muscles again. It looks like a violent survival movie with that trademark Sam Raimi humor coursing through its veins, though don’t expect any supernatural elements from this one.
Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien star in Send Help, releasing in theaters January 30, 2026.
Edyll Ismail (“La Brea”), Dennis Haysbert (“Far from Heaven”), Xavier Samuel (“Elvis”), Chris Pang (“Crazy Rich Asians”), Thaneth Warakulnukroh (“Thai Cave Rescue”) and Emma Raimi (“Happy Pills”) also star in Sam Raimi’s new movie Send Help.
In the film, “Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) and Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien) are two colleagues who find themselves stranded on a deserted island after they are the only survivors of a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it is an unsettling and darkly humorous battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.”
“I’ve always loved stories where interesting, dynamic characters are pushed to extremes,” says director Sam Raimi. “In our story, the power shifts create an escalating situation that’s brimming with unexpected turns and suspense.”
Send Help is produced by Raimi and Zainab Azizi (“65”), executive produced by JJ Hook (“The Amateur”) and written by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift (“Friday the 13th,” “Baywatch”), with original music by Danny Elfman (“The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Batman”).
