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.

Sam Raimi's *Send Help!* combines several elements in a precarious balance. On the one hand, it's an over-the-top and at times ridiculous corporate drama, with a horror subplot that grows more complex as the story unfolds. [Full Review in Spanish]

Send Help is a workplace drama with meeting notes pulled straight from the Necronomicon.

Send Help is certainly worth answering, as Rachel McAdams might just be giving the performance of her career, or at least the most fetch. Sam Raimi is having a blast taking this film to some truly unexpected places.

This movie was a bit uneven. The lovely Rachel McAdams plays against her type as the office pariah. She shines in her role. There's some gotcha moments. Amazing that this movie got made as it is not a paper cutter offering. Do yourself a favor and see this.

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