NOT another streaming Movie - Send Help

Send Help, my latest film is a darkly comedic psychological thriller from genre-bending visionary director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, The Evil Dead).

Rachel McAdams (Spotlight, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret., Mean Girls), Dylan O’Brien (Twinless, Saturday Night), Edyll Ismail (La Brea), Dennis Haysbert (Far from Heaven), Xavier Samuel (Elvis), Chris Pang (Crazy Rich Asians), Thaneth Warakulnukroh (Thai Cave Rescue), & Emma Raimi (Happy Pills), all star in this Aussie/Thailand production.

Linda Liddle (McAdams) and Bradley Preston (O’Brien), two colleagues who find themselves stranded on a deserted island after they are the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it becomes an unsettling and darkly humorous battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. 

So great seeing Aussie's Xavier Samuel and hunky Chris Pang, on the big screen, to a packed engaged cinema crowd on a Friday night.

Send Help has received positive reviews from critics, and has grossed $32.6 million against a $40 million production budget.

This film could be in line to be one of the first financial success and critical successes of 2026 at the cinema.

Filming ultimately commenced last February, in Sydney, Los Angeles, and Thailand, concluding in April. 


This was fun, the audience was laughing, I was jumping a few times. This was a solid film, with a great performance from the likeable and relatable Rachel McAdams. Lets be honest, we have all felt like Linda in an office situation before.

I really enjoyed this thriller. You might even spot Centennial Park in the movie. Which is hosting Laneway this weekend.

Be safe music festival friends. Why on Earth is Laneway on a Sunday too. I went last year. That was ROUGH!

OK, so Send Help is damn fine. 4 Stars.
