Horror legend Sam Raimi (Evil Dead) returns to his gonzo grizzly roots as Rachel McAdams and Dylen O’Brien fight for survival in tropical Hell.
This deliciously slice of corporate satire sees McAdams as Linda Liddle, a tragic fusspot who brings stinky tuna sandwiches to the office. She is also a dedicated, decisive, diligent – the one who is keeping her corporate accounting firm afloat by actually doing the work.
Her new boss, Bradley Preston (O’Brien), is a jackal with an immaculately trimmed beard whose first order of business is to tell Linda to her face that she should not expect a promised promotion any time soon. Luckily for Linda, their business trip is cut short when the private jet crashes, and the two of them are stranded on a deserted island. As an avid survivalist, Julia takes control of the situation and the tables turn; she is now the boss.
Gnarly, gross and delightfully unconventional, this is exactly the kind of Raimi film his fans have been waiting for. Carried by a committed, no-holds-barred McAdams performance, Send Help is a raucous, rambunctious romp through the jungle.
