Sam Raimi‘s Send Help has been rated R by the MPA for “strong/bloody violence and language.”
This marks the director’s first R rating since 2000’s The Gift. All of his films in the 25 years since — the Spider-Man trilogy, Drag Me to Hell, Oz the Great and Powerful, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — have been PG-13.
Early sneak preview screenings of Send Help will take place on January 24 before the survival thriller hits theaters and 3D on January 30 via 20th Century Studios.
Rachel McAdams (Doctor Strange) and Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner) star as 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.
Raimi directs from a script by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason, Friday the 13th 2009). Danny Elfman (Spider-Man, Beetlejuice) composed the score.
Raimi produces alongside Zainab Azizi (65, Don’t Move) for Raimi Productions, with JJ Hook (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Bumblebee) serving as executive producer.
