Sam Raimi is making his return to horror with Send Help, a film that we recently learned would star Rachel McAdams. Deadline reports that her co-star has been found and it’s Dylan O’Brien, who is coming off a tremendous 2024 with his 2025 looking just as strong.
Directed by Raimi from a script by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason), Send Help “is a survival horror thriller about two colleagues (O’Brien and McAdams) who become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it’s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.”
Raimi last directed Marvel’s Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness. He hasn’t directed full-fledged horror since Drag Me to Hell in 2009.
O’Brien has a lot of buzz here at Sundance for his performance in Twinless. He also earned strong reviews for playing Dan Akroyd in Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night, and for the MAX time-travel mystery Caddo Lake.
