Movies that feel likeSend Help (2026)

Two colleagues 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.

If you loved Send Help, the closest films we have are Drag Me to Hell (2009), Better Watch Out (2017) and Housebound (2014). All three share Send Help's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is When Evil Lurks (2023).
