Pretty fun dark comedy-horror that features two solid performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. Some decent enough gore and a whole a good way to spend two hours. Not sure I'll revisit even on home video but still entertaining, nevertheless. **3.5/5**...

Gushing with frenetic humor, two magnificently cutthroat performances, and some well-placed grimy moments of gore, Send Help blows snot, spurts blood, and gauges eyes the only way Sam Raimi knows how.

It’s a movie that dissects the incompetence of po...

What begins as a survival thriller quickly evolves into a psychological power struggle. The narrative shift from saving the boss to surviving the boss—and eventually subjugating the bo...

Raimi is a good director. He has directed a good movie starring and incredibly good actress with good humour. And what a good movie it is. Like, it's Rachel. She's hot! She's a nice girl! Ohh. She's not hot? Wow! What a challenging, funny film.
One unfortunate thing about this good movie is that it's entirely stolen. I paid to go watch Triangle of Sadness x uhhh Oh, Hi! x uhhhh bunch of other movies. This movie existed before it existed. Its twists, turns and turbulence have all been done before and that is a shame. It's done well, though. I believe you will enjoy it.
