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]

Not many filmmakers can pull off this kind of movie, and after many years of us wondering if he’d lost his way, Raimi proves he’s still a cinematic oddity — in the best sense of the term.

Equal parts hilarious, tense, and savage, Send Help is a wild ride that leaves the audience cheering, and maybe checking your own office politics.

It’s been a long wait, but Sam Raimi is finally back with Send Help, a horror-comedy penned by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift that I ate up like Christmas dinner.

Send Help embraces its own absurdity with blood-soaked enthusiasm, making it an easy win for longtime Raimi fans and a reminder of why his particular brand of cinematic madness remains so entertaining.

... a survival tale turned psychodrama with a wicked streak of dark humor under its satirical take on power and office politics in a world where the roles flip.

Send Help is a film that just sits there. There was probably a gnarly early draft of the screenplay that got neutered by studio notes to make it more palatable to a mainstream audience.

"Send Help" entertains in bursts, but by the end it feels stranded by its own dramaturgical thinness.

"Send Help" is a wickedly entertaining thriller full of the gore we expect from "Evil Dead" director Sam Raimi, and a marvelous, twisty performance from Rachel McAdams ("Mean Girls").

Sam Raimi's *Send Help!* combines several elements in a precarious balance. On the one hand, it's an over-the-top and at times ridiculous corporate drama, with a horror subplot that grows more complex as the story unfolds. [Full Review in Spanish]

Send Help is certainly worth answering, as Rachel McAdams might just be giving the performance of her career, or at least the most fetch. Sam Raimi is having a blast taking this film to some truly unexpected places.

Comes tantalizingly close to making good on its dark premise but the filmmakers can’t manage to get out of their own way leading to a gory and unearned conclusion.

By the time Send Help reaches its final moments, the film has fully transformed from an awkward workplace drama into something far darker and more unsettling.
