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.

It's something more direct and honest: an exercise in playful cruelty that understands entertainment as a form of catharsis. [Full review in Spanish]

Not many filmmakers can pull off this kind of movie, and after many years of us wondering if he’d lost his way, Raimi proves he’s still a cinematic oddity — in the best sense of the term.

Equal parts hilarious, tense, and savage, Send Help is a wild ride that leaves the audience cheering, and maybe checking your own office politics.

I found this movie entertaining. It was funny mixed in with some horror and loved the actors. However the story didn’t need the exaggerated gross scenes in my opinion, but it’s a Sam Raimi film, so I get it.
