Sixteen years after Drag Me to Hell, Sam Raimi is back behind the camera for Send Help (dated January 30, 2026). The premise blends corporate-retreat disaster with island survival — perfect for Raimi’s gleefully unhinged tone.
Reasons to be excited
- Energy & camera play: Raimi’s whip-pans and visual gags can turn simple setups into roller coasters.
- Cast chemistry: Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien suggest sharper character work than a typical body-count movie.
Why some are cautious
- Script pedigree: The writers’ past work swings from cult-fun to uneven — the question is whether Raimi’s direction locks the tone.
