Synopsis:

"Send Help" (2026) is a psychological thriller directed by Sam Raimi. The film tells the story of Linda Liddle, a smart but underestimated strategy executive, who is stranded on a remote island in Thailand with her boss, Bradley Preston, after their plane crashes. On the island, they must work together to survive, but psychological conflicts and old grudges begin to surface.

"Send Help" is a unique and captivating film, focusing on psychological conflict and manipulation between characters. Rachel McAdams' performance as Linda is stunning, and Dylan O'Brien as Bradley delivers a solid performance. The film has a dark and intense atmosphere, with some very brutal and disgusting scenes. However, the film also has some drawbacks, such as some scenes that feel inconsistent and excessive. Overall, "Send Help" is a captivating film that leaves an impression, with themes of power, revenge, and trauma.

In my opinion:

Wow, I wouldn't doubt Sam Raimi's filmmaking skills, and in this film, he shows off his unique abilities as a director (of course, the close-up shots of eyes are here too). Honestly, I was fooled several times trying to guess the film's direction. At first, I thought it was a brutal survival film where the main character would be stranded and have to face wild animals and uncivilized tribes. Then, as the story progressed, I thought it would be a romantic comedy, given Linda's clawkish but funny character and Bradley's pompous but clueless nature in the wilderness. But then, I was hit with a surprise – When I thought Linda would try desperately to survive, she turns out become a survival expert, a real-life Lady Tarzan! Oh Sam, where are you taking this story?!

IT TURNS OUT (again), the film has shocking twists. I was speechless seeing the ending, only able to say "Wow.." and "Wow.." and "Wow..". Where did this story come from? You guys are briliant! The film is a complete package – romance, tension, humor, brutality, and a mentally disturbed character. The visuals, audio, and cinematography are great, and the cast adds to the film's excellence. I don't understand what's inconsistent or excessive about it. I can't comment much more – this is another great film from Sam Raimi. Wunderbar!

For me this one is 8.5/10.
