- A Loyola Phoenix review praises McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as a compelling two-hander with sharp chemistry and shifting power dynamics.
- The review credits Raimi’s seasoned collaborators and tonal control but criticizes some CGI, notably during the crash sequence.
- Send Help opened in US theaters on January 29 and is in cinemas now, with a UK release set for February 5.
