About this listen
Sam Raimi kicks off 2026 with Send Help a movie that somehow mashes up survival thriller tension with workplace comedy chaos, and actually makes it work. It’s fast, funny, sharp, and packed with the kind of horror-comedy-suspense blend that feels unmistakably Raimi.
In this episode of After the Frame, we break down what worked and what didn’t: the smart setup, the instantly punchy character dynamic, the way the film slowly shifts empathy and power between its leads, and why Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien make the premise feel grounded instead of gimmicky. We also talk about the rough CGI moments, what makes this stand out from typical deserted-island stories, and why getting a crowd-pleaser like this this early in the year feels like a gift.
Whether you’re looking for a date-night movie, a friends-night-out pick, or just a fun ride at the theater this one’s worth the ticket.
