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 embraces its own absurdity with blood-soaked enthusiasm, making it an easy win for longtime Raimi fans and a reminder of why his particular brand of cinematic madness remains so entertaining.

... a survival tale turned psychodrama with a wicked streak of dark humor under its satirical take on power and office politics in a world where the roles flip.

2/5

Send Help is a film that just sits there. There was probably a gnarly early draft of the screenplay that got neutered by studio notes to make it more palatable to a mainstream audience.
