Director Sam Raimi and stars Rachel McAdams (Doctor Strange) and Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner) discuss Send Help in the new featurette below.
“I really like the ‘what if?’ aspect of the movie,” says Raimi. “What if a woman at work was cheated? She’s got this terrible, mean boss. What if they crash-landed? And what if I was trapped on this island?”
“It’s got all of Sam’s great qualities to it,” McAdams notes. “Particularly the dark humor.”
O’Brien adds, “No one does it like Sam Raimi.” Amen to that.

Early sneak preview screenings will take place on January 24 before the film hits theaters and 3D on January 30 via 20th Century Studios.
Linda Liddle (McAdams) and Bradley Preston (O’Brien) are two colleagues who find themselves stranded on a deserted island after they are the only survivors of a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it is an unsettling and darkly humorous battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.
Edyll Ismail (“La Brea”), Dennis Haysbert (“24”), Xavier Samuel (The Loves Ones), Chris Pang (Crazy Rich Asians), Thaneth Warakulnukroh (“Thai Cave Rescue”), and Emma Raimi (Sam Raimi’s daughter) round out the cast, along with an appearance by horror icon Bruce Campbell.
Damian Shannon & Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason, Friday the 13th 2009) penned the script. Danny Elfman (Spider-Man, Beetlejuice) composed the score.
Raimi produces alongside Zainab Azizi (65, Don’t Move) for Raimi Productions, with JJ Hook () serving as executive producer.
