What to Know

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.

It’s enjoyably lurid stuff, and McAdams is a blast. It’s just a pity that a third-act twist seems a little too familiar. Go to Full Review

Rachel Shatto Bloody Good Horror (Podcast) 3h
It’s tense, it’s gross, it’s hilarious—but most of all, it’s unmistakably Sam Raimi. While it fumbles the girlboss vs. bro-corpo culture clash, it’s still a fun popcorn movie for sickos that reminds us why we fell in love with Raimi in the first place. Go to Full Review
