Just over a month after filming was confirmed to have wrapped, we have another exciting update on Sam Raimi’s Send Help.
Danny Elfman has confirmed he will score Raimi’s highly anticipated return to the horror genre. In a recent interview, the prolific composer revealed:
“I’m just finishing a score for Gus Van Sant and a really fun thriller. And then I start another thriller with Sam Raimi that they just finished shooting in Australia called Send Help.”
The project will mark the eighth film of Raimi’s that Elfman has scored, and will be their ninth collaboration over all.
Send Help stars Dylan O’Brien, Dennis Haysbert, Chris Pang, and Academy Award Nominee Rachel McAdams, and is described as “Castaway meets Misery.”
As per an official logline:
“Send Help” is a survival horror thriller about two colleagues (O’Brien and McAdams) who become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it’s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.”
From a script by Freddy Vs. Jason scribes Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, Zainab Azizi is producing alongside Raimi and the “Raimi Productions” banner.
Send Help will mark Raimi’s first genre directing gig since 2009’s universally adored Drag Me to Hell.
Send Help will release to theatres via 20th Century Studios on January 30th 2026. Stay tuned for any further developments.
