Send Help Movie on Digital, Prime, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home

When two business colleagues become stranded on a deserted island as the only survivors of a plane crash, they must overcome past grievances and work together to stay alive. But they’re not in the office anymore, and an unsettling, wryly humorous battle of wills and wits begins in this original, darkly comedic psychological thriller.

ABOUT SEND HELP:

Sam Raimi describes Send Help as a darkly comedic reversal of power: “What if a woman was cheated by the boys’ club at work, held down by corporate management and a terrible, mean boss who treats her unfairly? And what if they crash-landed on an island and the roles were reversed?” That premise erupts onscreen through the explosive performances of Rachel McAdams (“Linda Liddle”) and Dylan O’Brien (“Bradley Preston”), whose ferocious clash for survival delivers both brutal tension and bursts of unexpected humor.

My thoughts:

I love the gore and guts in movies and this movie delivered just that. This movie is not full of full on scares but nuanced ones at just the right time. Raimi in his movies love to disgust his audiences and Send Help does just that. Eyeballs being gouged, gruesome deaths, horrific plane crash scene, vomit, and more are just some of the things in this movie. However, one thing that stuck out to me is truly how fun this movie is! If you can stomach it, it can be a real delight. However, without saying too much, you want to keep watching as I feel the second half of the movie is where it really took off.

I give Send Help 4.5/5 stars!
