- MashedKetchum1d agoSeeing Rachel McAdams as a character that is a little bit "hoo hoo" gave me life itself. I am out here cheering her on. This movie brings everything I love about Thrillers to one movie. I would absolutely recommend a watch, if you don't get too angry at the start while they give you background into each character... because they are just repugnant
- Mike ShulmanFebruary 5, 2026Sam Raimi is back with Send Help to remind us all why he is the all time MVP of dark disgusting twisted f@cked up horror. This movie was nearly perfect. Rachel McAdams is amazing as the submissive nerdy "so we think" employee and Dylan O'Brien as well as the douchebag CEO who inherited everything from daddy and never worked a day in his life. Inevitably after not promoting her the two are the only survivors of a work related plane crash and wash up on a small island in the middle of the ocean. From here Linda who spends her spare time reading survivalist books and auditioning for... You guessed it Survivor is now in her element. She's now the boss and goes out of her way to demonstrate this to Bradley... Multiple times showing him why he needs her... But she's also got a more sinister motivation... As does he... One thing is clear... Both Linda and Bradley are flawed people. Welcome to a Sam Raimi movie.... We're not getting clear cut good vs evil characters. And as you can guess in true Raimi fashion the last hour gets really f@cked up... We get some trademark Evil Dead throwback action. Ultra violence, bodily fluids, laugh out loud moments and WTF moments. And you won't know what's what until the very end. The amount of satisfaction you get from the ending might depend on how depraved your mind is. That's why for me it's awesome. Send Help 9/10
- EdmondZippo5d agoLike Shyamalan's Trap a few years ago, it's structurally sound, entertaining, and just a great three and a half star movie, the kind that people have been begging Hollywood for since the streaming wars took a toll on the quality and the kind of movies that made it to theaters. This one has strong similarities to Triangle of Sadness, yet doesn't necessarily play for the same audience. Where Triangle is dead-set on putting our face in its analysis of our society's power structures with strong tonal cynicism, Send Help never forgets to have fun. Its smaller cast makes it easier to develop the characters. While nothing's new, Preston and Linda are as much flesh and blood as they are avatars of the corporate world, where the undeserving fail upwards and the strongest elements of the chain are made to carry everyone else's weight. What I appreciated most here is what I perceive to be a bit of the subversion of the she's actually beautiful trope that's been denounced for a while, now. Her aesthetic transformation does not happen through the perspective of another person who appears in her life to reveal her own beauty to herself. She transforms because she does what she is meant to be doing. Which means, if we're to take this movie logic to the real world, that there would be many more hot people out there if their soul wasn't crushed by economic precarity and lack of recognition. But then, you look at Elon and all the other ghouls, and... Yeah, no, might have to think through that again. Anyway. Good movie.
- klit75April 23, 2026My honest thought is maybe more of a preference. People are comparing this story to "Misery". I think that's unfair to Misery which was a great movie. Personally I LOVED the idea. Rachel McAdams has aged like fine wine both in her beauty and acting skills. I just didn't want the comedic aspect. I wanted this one played straight. A few moments were kind of Naked Gun'ish. Let the anti-hero become the psycho who she is under pressure. Trying to make her funny softens her. The laughs just weren't strong enough to make this a really good movie.
