Moviegoers are saying
Sam Raimi's triumphant return to original R-rated horror delivers a twisted island thriller that completely subverts expectations, with Rachel McAdams stealing the show as a psychotic 'mean girl' who transforms from caregiver to cold-blooded killer. Audiences are praising the unpredictable twists and Raimi's signature style, though some found the dialogue cringe-worthy and the ending divisive.

A true rarity, Send Help feels fresh and unique — so much, in fact, it’s hard to decide whether you want Raimi (or anybody else, for that matter) to make more movies like it, or let it alone, thriving on a far-off island where no one can compromise its singular, idiosyncratic perfection.

Send Help is pure Raimi: a survival thriller that disguises itself as corporate satire before mutating into something far nastier and more fun. It’s ridiculous by design, walking a razor’s edge between menace and mockery, and it thrives in that instability.

It’s been told with enough wit and viscera to outpace many of its competitors.
