Did you see Send Help in theaters? If not, shame on you, because a Sam Raimi film in the theaters is a must-watch event. However, there’s a good way to make up for that, and that’s by watching it on physical media. You can rent Send Help on digital on March 24th, but we all know the best possible way to watch a movie at home is on disc. It arrives on 4K UHD and DVD on April 21st.
Sam Raimi describes SEND HELP as a darkly comedic reversal of power: “What if a woman was cheated by the boys’ club at work, held down by corporate management and a terrible, mean boss who treats her unfairly? And what if they crash-landed on an island and the roles were reversed?” That premise erupts onscreen through the explosive performances of Rachel McAdams (“Linda Liddle”) and Dylan O’Brien (“Bradley Preston”), whose ferocious clash for survival delivers both brutal tension and bursts of unexpected humor.
Here’s 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.
