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.

Raimi and the screenwriters instead keep the audience off-balance by getting playfully coy about who or what we should be rooting for in this situation. Go to Full Review Adam Nayman Toronto Star 6h

“Send Help” isn’t realistic, but its pleasures as a B movie made by an A-plus entertainer are authentic nevertheless. Go to Full Review Peter Travers The Travers Take 7h
3/4
Looking for fun and a chance to scream, send for this hella horror comedy in which Rachel McAdams crash lands on a desert island with her bullying boss (Dylan O’Brien) and decides to even the odds. Despite a divisive ending, I smell a hit. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 1h
With its clever concept and delightfully offbeat sensibility, this dark comic thriller has style and attitude to spare. Go to Full Review Amanda Mazzillo Film Joy 3h
Send Help feels like a screwball comedy filled with psychological torture, blood spurts, and projectile vomit. [...] Send Help is an over-the-top, delightfully silly horror-comedy filled with absurdity, gore, and compelling performances from its leads. Go to Full Review Mel Campbell ABC Radio (Australia) 3h
Such a fun time at the cinema! Raimi knows how to manipulate the cinematic medium for the purposes of entertainment. … I love watching someone being resourceful and clever with what’s around them, and seeing someone who’s beaten down come into their own. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
