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

A genuine crowdpleaser, Send Help boasts a clever, sharp script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Freddy vs Jason), which satirises contemporary corporate culture, while also playing out like a power fantasy for the people who fall victim to it. Go to Full Review

McAdams and O'Brien, both of them stellar, do enough heavy lifting to ensure “Send Help” reaches dry land. Go to Full Review
