Rachel McAdams, best known for playing Regina George in the 2004 romcom Mean Girls, takes on a gritty new role in the survival horror film Send Help. The movie, directed by Sam Raimi of The Evil Dead and Spider-Man fame, follows two colleagues stranded on a remote island after a plane crash.
McAdams plays Linda Liddle, an underestimated employee who must survive alongside her insufferable and sexist boss, Bradley Preston, played by Dylan O'Brien. The film explores their tense dynamic as they fight for survival, with plenty of blood and gore along the way.
Send Help is Raimi's first original, non-franchise film in over 15 years. In an interview with Radio Times, he said he enjoyed using his trademark gore to show what Linda has to endure. 'It was fun tossing the blood again!' he remarked.
The film hit UK cinemas on February 5 and has received rave reviews, boasting a 93% critics' score and an 87% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One viewer described it as 'a corporate take on Lord of the Flies,' while another praised its blend of horror, comedy, and gore.
Send Help is now showing in UK cinemas.
