Come aboard for more bad behavior from Sam Raimi’s latest.
SEND HELP debuts today on digital platforms (including Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home) and April 21 on physical media (4K UHD + Blu-ray + digital code in the U.S. and on-line only; DVD in the U.S. and Canada). Raimi directed from a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, with Rachel McAdams, Dylan O’Brien, Edyll Ismail, Dennis Haysbert, Xavier Samuel and Chris Pang starring. The synopsis: “When two business colleagues become stranded on a deserted island as the only survivors of a plane crash, they must overcome past grievances and work together to stay alive. But they’re not in the office anymore, and an unsettling, wryly humorous battle of wills and wits begins in this original, darkly comedic psychological thriller.” (See our review here.)
