Pretty fun dark comedy-horror that features two solid performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. Some decent enough gore and a whole a good way to spend two hours. Not sure I'll revisit even on home video but still entertaining, nevertheless. **3.5/5**

Gushing with frenetic humor, two magnificently cutthroat performances, and some well-placed grimy moments of gore, Send Help blows snot, spurts blood, and gauges eyes the only way Sam Raimi knows how. Full review: https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/horror/send-help-review.html

Full review: https://movieswetextedabout.com/send-help-movie-review-rachel-mcadams-anchors-sam-raimis-return-to-his-visceral-roots/ Rating: B "Send Help asserts itself as a triumph of controlled chaos and a compelling return of Sam Raimi to an original story, balancing visceral horror with effective social satire. The technical mastery of his direction, allied with Danny Elfman‘s dynamic score and, primarily, the explosive chemistry between Rachel McAdams (MVP) and Dylan O’Brien, elevates …

Sam Raimi’s Send Help is a brilliant, twisted exploration of the thin veneer of civilization, anchored by two of the most compelling performances in recent horror-comedy. The story thrives on a deliciously dark "eat the rich" premise: Linda Liddle, a mousey and overworked employee, finds herself the sole protector of her arrogant, incompetent boss, Bradley Preston, after their jet crashes on a remote island. What begins as a survival thriller quickly evolves into a psychological power struggle. …

Raimi is a good director. He has directed a good movie starring and incredibly good actress with good humour. And what a good movie it is. Like, it's Rachel. She's hot! She's a nice girl! Ohh. She's not hot? Wow! What a challenging, funny film. One unfortunate thing about this good movie is that it's entirely stolen. I paid to go watch Triangle of Sadness x uhhh Oh, Hi! x uhhhh bunch of other movies. This movie existed before it existed. Its twists, turns and turbulence have all been done bef…

The spirit of “Nine to Five” (1980) is alive and well for “Linda” (Rachel McAdams) as she is constantly being passed over for promotion by golf-playing men who rely on her to do all the work. She hopes for change when new employer “Bradley” (Dylan O’Brien) takes over from his dad, but a combination of his best mate from university and her liking for tuna duly kiboshes that. She is, however, to embark on a team trip to Thailand for a merger meeting and it’s en route that a violent storm leaves he…

THIS IS NOT A BAD MOVIE. THE MAIN CHARACTER HAD A SAD AND LONELY LIFE. I REALLY FELT SORRY FOR HER. BUT WHEN THE PLANE CRASHED IN THE WATER, AND SHE MANAGED TO WASHED ASHORE ON AN ISLAND, SHE WAS NOT ALONE. HER BOSS HAPPENED TO HAVE WASHED TO THE ISLAND ALSO. HE WAS INJURED AND SHE HELPED HIM BACK TO HEALTH. SHE'S A SURVIVOR SERIES WATCHER AND SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD TO SURVIVE IN THEIR CONDITION. BUT ONE THING, SHE'S HAPPY TO BE THERE ON THE ISLAND. THERE WAS TWO CHANGES TO GET OFF THE ISL…

Islands are dangerous This is a fun movie. It has elements from several sorts of stories, is well acted, has stunning visuals, great direction and a fun plot. It is good to see Sam Raimi in such fine form for this. The cast is great, and it is hard to cast a movie with essentially two characters, but these actors have great chemistry, even if the twist emotionally at the end is a bit out of left field.
