20th Century Studios has announced that Sami Raimi’s brilliant Send Help will get its streaming premiere in the UK on Disney+ starting May 7, 2026.
The film flips workplace power dynamics into a darkly comedic survival story. When a ruthless boss and her overlooked employee are stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash, their roles quickly reverse. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien anchor the film and deliver a volatile, often darkly funny clash as the two battle for control – and survival.
Raimi describes the film as a darkly comedic reversal of power: “What if a woman was cheated by the boys’ club at work, held down by corporate management and a terrible, mean boss who treats her unfairly? And what if they crash-landed on an island and the roles were reversed?” That premise erupts onscreen through the explosive performances of Rachel McAdams (“Linda Liddle”) and Dylan O’Brien (“Bradley Preston”), whose ferocious clash for survival delivers both brutal tension and bursts of unexpected humour.
In our four-star review of the film Matt said “Send Help is a reminder that we need more directors who aren’t afraid to have a “signature” look. If you’re a fan of Drag Me to Hell or Evil Dead, you’re going to love this—it’s a chaotic, hilarious, and thrilling ride that needs to be seen on the big screen.”
