Sometimes a film will come along and, even though the premise seems all too familiar and worn, it’ll leave you beaming.

Send Help is that film and has a little but of something for everyone. If you just want a bit of fun from your next cinema trip, something that'll trigger all the senses, this has to be your next watch.

A film with one of the best jump scares of the year that also contains some of the most laugh out loud sequences of 2026, it is a constant surprise and a constant delight.

You might think you have its number as our Survivor fan Linda first gets passed up for a deserved promotion by her nepo baby new boss Bradley. You might think so again as their private plane crash lands on its way to a corporate meeting.

Whatever you might think, expect, know and assume will be tested, rewarded, challenged, upended and rewarded in equal measure.

It bears repeating again that this is just an immeasurably delightful film in all the ways you want going into the saturated cinema landscape in 2026.

How can something so gloriously tongue in cheek also skewer its subject and make its pointed observations in just the right way?

How can something so maniacally OTT also drag you with it across its journey, always just quietly making you question what you’re seeing and keeping constant engagement?

It’s testament to Sam Raimi’s style and this brilliantly focused story as well as the excellent performances of Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien in the lead roles.

Saying anymore would ruin the fun. Don’t sleep on this movie, it’s an absolutely thrill ride that is totally worth a trip to your local cinema.
