A year after the release of The Strangers: Chapter 1, the second film in the new trilogy arrived. Both movies are part of The Strangers series, which began in 2008 with a film directed by Bryan Bertino and starring Liv Tyler. Despite receiving poor reviews, The Strangers – Chapter 2 has quickly become popular on the streaming service Starz, according to FlixPatrol.
Director Joe Carnahan is getting attention again with his new thriller, The Rip, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. This has led many to revisit his earlier work, and one film in particular stands out as a showcase of his skills: the 2011 survival action movie The Grey, which starred Liam Neeson.
It’s challenging to make a good survival movie, but when done well, the genre can really shine. Sam Raimi’s Send Help has been praised by critics for its distinctive blend of horror and comedy – a style he’s become known for. Reviewers have noted that Raimi’s signature touches make the film particularly effective: injuries feel intensely painful, and the film skillfully draws the audience into the characters’ escalating desperation. The result is a gripping and realistic portrayal of what it truly takes to survive and how people might react under extreme pressure.
The new movie, Send Help, is receiving positive reviews and follows Linda (Rachel McAdams), an employee, and her awful boss, Bradley (Dylan O’Brien), who find themselves stranded on a desert island after a plane crash. As Bradley becomes increasingly reliant on Linda’s survival skills, their relationship dramatically changes and takes a dark, psychological turn.
Azizi recently discussed Sam Raimi’s upcoming film with SFX Magazine. The movie, a follow-up to the 2022 Doctor Strange sequel, stars Rachel McAdams as Linda, a dedicated employee whose job is threatened when the son of her deceased boss, played by Dylan O’Brien, inherits the company. According to the producer, O’Brien’s character, Bradley, appears charming but is ultimately “entitled and a bit of a jerk.” The story takes a turn towards horror after a plane crash leaves Linda and Bradley stranded on a tropical island.

The Sundance Film Festival is known for showcasing independent films and discovering new talent. You’re more likely to see first-time directors than big, flashy premieres, and many of the films people are excited about at Sundance 2026 will fit that bill. Think of quirky, heartwarming movies like Little Miss Sunshine, Napoleon Dynamite, and Juno – that’s the kind of vibe Sundance usually has. But surprisingly, a lot of now-famous genre films actually had their first showings at Sundance too.
