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.

Steve Sikes 43m Sam Raimi is the master of the jump scare! Rachel McAdams was fantastic in her role. Support good movies in the theater and good directors like Raimi and go see this movie. See more William 1h I will recommend 👌 👍 See more Brian G 1h I really enjoyed this movie. It was unpredictable, funny, scary, and was a nice psychological journey with Rachel McAdams. Not sure about the ending... I mean, it was fine, I just thought it would end differently. Still, this movie is more creative than most movies these days. See more Stephanie A 1h Thriller and Comedy all in one! Great movie from start to finish! See more GREG ARCHER 1h Bonkers … in the best possible way. A delicious, sometimes campy romp that knows it’s in on the “joke”. McAdams shines in taught drama that will surprise you. See more Cheavor 1h Send Help was entertaining with surprising twists and turns, and a good amount of humor. But the wrong person won in the end, so I minus a star for that. See more Read all reviews
