Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien graced the red carpet at the London premiere of their new film, "Send Help," on Thursday, January 29, 2026. The premiere was held at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square.
McAdams, 47, and O'Brien, 34, posed for photos and shared a warm embrace. McAdams wore a form-fitting black sequin gown, while O'Brien sported a classic black suit with a white shirt. Director Sam Raimi, along with producer Zainab Azizi, also attended the glitzy event. Other notable attendees included Leigh Francis, Jade Jones, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and Talulah Riley.
"Send Help," directed by Sam Raimi, is described as a survival horror thriller. The film follows Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) and Bradley Preston (Dylan O'Brien), two colleagues who become the only survivors of a plane crash and find themselves stranded on a deserted island. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, leading to a battle of wills and wits. The film is written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift.
Raimi has described the movie as blending survival thriller, horror, and comedy. According to a film scooper, the logline is a comedy-adventure horror about a put-upon employee and her jerk boss.
The supporting cast includes Edyll Ismail, Dennis Haysbert, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, Thaneth Warakulnukroh, Emma Raimi, and Bruce Campbell. Emma Raimi, the director's daughter, also appears in the film.
The film is set to be released in theaters on January 30.
"Send Help" marks Raimi's return to the horror genre with a character-driven thriller. The film blends psychological pressure with stripped-down survival stakes. Critics describe the film as a wild, uncomfortable ride, and controlled delirium microwaved on high heat. Reviews note Raimi's signature camera tricks, visual tropes, and cartoonishly gloppy violence.
