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.

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.

"Send Help" entertains in bursts, but by the end it feels stranded by its own dramaturgical thinness.

"Send Help" is a wickedly entertaining thriller full of the gore we expect from "Evil Dead" director Sam Raimi, and a marvelous, twisty performance from Rachel McAdams ("Mean Girls").

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.
