In "Send Help," 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 an unsettling, darkly humorous battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.

Critics Consensus

Putting director Sam Raimi's penchant for diabolical mayhem to great use, Send Help doesn't need any assistance in thrills thanks to a very game Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien along with a viciously clever script.

Audience Says

Rachel McAdams is Linda Liddle in Send Help, a Raimi-delivered, unhinged survival horror thriller that keeps you guessing and laughing -- and you best don’t confuse her kindness for weakness.

An amusing little bear trap of a comedy about a corporate mouseburger stranded on a desert island with her boss.

The moral to the story? Don’t disrespect, ridicule, or look down on the Linda Liddle’s of the world. They’ll only take so much and, when they finally decide to fight back, there will be justified hell to pay.

If you can tune into its delirious, gleefully gory wavelength, you’re gonna have a good time.

3/4

Raimi leans into the tactile. Bodies are constantly under assault. Fluids, impact, proximity. It is gleeful in a way that borders on deranged, but always controlled. The disgust is not incidental. It is the joke.

McAdams and O’Brien’s performances do save the film but don’t expect anything new or different from the film itself.
