Film: Send Help [2026] – Rachel McAdams, Dylan O’Brien

Send Help doesn’t need help. Survivor meets Horrible Bosses; the comedy thriller takes some time to fully take off. But it’s worth it.

Starring Rachel McAdams, and Dylan O’Brien as her annoying boss, the film is a laugh-out-loud, rousing manifesto for downtrodden workers, a bloodcurdling PSA for all scumbag bosses, and a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse between both actors.

The story? Doesn’t make much sense. The character arcs? Out of nowhere. But Raimi does his magic with this not-that-credible script. Wielding his trademark flair and macabre sense of humor, he elevates the film to an entertaining — and occasionally bloody and disgusting — trip to a remote tropical paradise.

Send Help is a gross and glorious, good time. You start by feeling bad for the employee, and you end up feeling bad for the horrible boss. This film is Sam Raimi back to having fun. The film uses stereotypes for comedy, but it doesn’t use that as an excuse to not give the characters some depth.

I never thought I’d say that, but I’d love to see more films under this genre of twisted thriller comedy. Give me more!

Should you watch it?

A very Sam Raimi film. Comedy thriller mixed with some fun gore. Definitely enjoyed it even when the character development didn’t make much sense. Would I watch it again? Definitely.

Where can I watch it?

Send Help is now playing in theaters.
