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.

No matter where you think "Send Help" is going, you’re probably wrong. Thankfully, that’s a huge part of its appeal.

3.5/4

The moral to the story? Don’t disrespect, ridicule, or look down on the Linda Liddle’s of the world. They’ll only take so much and, when they finally decide to fight back, there will be justified hell to pay.

faint praise*

Oct 15, 2026

The film falters by the end in its conclusions about both characters by trying to straddle too many story beats at once. It dulls what should be a satisfying ending, and undoes much of the narrative work that got them to where they end up.

It's something more direct and honest: an exercise in playful cruelty that understands entertainment as a form of catharsis. [Full review in Spanish]
