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.

No matter where you think "Send Help" is going, you’re probably wrong. Thankfully, that’s a huge part of its appeal.

2.5/4

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

3.5/4

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.

5/10

Comes tantalizingly close to making good on its dark premise but the filmmakers can’t manage to get out of their own way leading to a gory and unearned conclusion.

4/10

A deeply unbalanced tone and a failure of consistency relegate the film to mediocrity.

4/5

By the time Send Help reaches its final moments, the film has fully transformed from an awkward workplace drama into something far darker and more unsettling.

This was a well written movie and well put together story, with good acting, and just edgy enough to almost make you uncomfortable.
