What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review

It’s enjoyably lurid stuff, and McAdams is a blast. It’s just a pity that a third-act twist seems a little too familiar. Go to Full Review

SEND HELP felt like the movie Misery except on an island, with a lot more dark comedy and tons of Raimi-style gross-out gore… I really enjoyed it! Go to Full Review
Josiah Teal Battle Royale With Cheese 1d
The film plays on a few familiar tropes, but through the sharp storytelling of Sam Raimi and the seamless performances of the leads, Send Help shines in all its survival-horror glory. Go to Full Review
Terence Johnson Le Noir Auteur 2d
It’s a nasty piece of work if you can watch it. Send Help, the latest Sam Raimi film, contains a wickedly vindictive spirit and showmanship that certainly will warm the heart of moviegoers this winter. Go to Full Review
