New on DVD: Upset the office power dynamic in 'Send Help'
Published in Entertainment News
Genre master Sam Raimi's return to horror comedy tops the DVD releases for the week of April 21.
"Send Help": Following a plane crash, mousy corporate cog (Rachel McAdams) is stranded on an island with her boss (Dylan O'Brien), where the power dynamic instantly flips as they fight for survival.
"The poster for 'Send Help' advertises the film as, 'from the director of "The Evil Dead" and "Drag Me to Hell"' — notably not 'Spider-Man' (or its two sequels)," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "No, the kind of Sam Raimi film you’re getting here is irreverent, silly and very bloody; a character study that also features incredibly goofy scares. Written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, 'Send Help' is a gonzo survivalist riff that works as well as it does because it features two incredibly game actors that surf the wave of Raimi’s tonal madness with a blend of absolute glee and carefully honed skill."
