TL;DR

Sam Raimi returns with Send Help, a desert-island survival story that pits Linda Liddle against a spoiled CEO after a plane crash; the setup is sharp and satirical, and Rachel McAdams delivers a solid performance, but the film veers into gratuitous gore that undercuts believability and derails some of the satire, leaving the latter half feel derivative despite the strong opener. Release dates: Australia Jan 29, US Jan 30, UK Feb 5.
