Roberto Giacomelli
Le film, écrit par Damian Shannon et Mark Swift (vous souvenez-vous de Freddy vs Jason ?), pourrait sembler sur le papier une parabole sociale sur les dynamiques du travail, sur les différences de genre ou sur la compétition toxique dans les équipes d'entreprise. Et en partie, il l'est. Mais Raimi s'intéresse à quelque chose de plus universel et, d'une certaine manière, de plus cruel : le pouvoir est toujours relatif. Celui qui commande dans une situation peut devenir immédiatement inutile dans une autre. Le monde est rempli de lions et d'agneaux, mais il suffit de changer de scénario pour que les rôles s'inversent. Linda est un agneau au bureau, mais dans la jungle, elle devient le prédateur. Et Bradley, si sûr de lui en costume et cravate, se découvre soudainement fragile, dépendant, perdu. Mais Send Help ne serait pas un film de Sam Raimi s'il se limitait à cela. En fait, c'est précisément lorsque la situation devient plus désespérée que sa poésie émerge avec force. Le film glisse progressivement vers le grotesque, dans une escalade de violence, de splatter et de situations au bord de l'absurde, où le drame et la comédie finissent par se fondre en quelque chose qui ressemble à un dessin animé en chair et en os. Exactement comme cela se passait dans Drag Me to Hell, sauf qu'ici, il n'y a pas de surnaturel : l'horreur naît entièrement des corps, de la faim, de la soif, de la peur et, surtout, du désespoir des personnes. Raimi, ensuite, s'amuse ouvertement à s'autociter, transformant le film en une sorte de somme de son imaginaire. La protagoniste s'appelle Linda, comme la petite amie d'Ash dans La Maison 2. Bruce Campbell apparaît dans son caméo habituel, délicieux, dans le rôle du (défunt) père de Bradley Preston : attention aux murs de son bureau. Le pendentif que Linda porte rappelle beaucoup celui qu'Ash offrait à sa Linda. Dans une séquence onirique apparaît une créature qui rappelle clairement les démons kandariens, et il ne manque pas non plus la célèbre subjective qui fonce entre les arbres. C'est un jeu cinéphile qui ne pèse jamais le film, mais l'enrichit, offrant au spectateur passionné une série de clins d'œil irrésistibles. Du côté du casting, Rachel McAdams est tout simplement parfaite. Elle construit une Linda complexe, crédible, qui passe de victime silencieuse à leader impitoyable sans jamais perdre son humanité. Dylan O'Brien, de son côté, interprète un personnage volontairement antipathique, prévisible dans ses égoïsmes et ses mesquineries, mais il le fait avec beaucoup de professionnalisme et un timing comique qui fonctionne. Bien sûr, tout n'est pas impeccable : parfois, le film semble trop s'indulger gratuitement dans son goût pour l'excès (la scène de vomi, par exemple), et il y a constamment (peut-être volontairement) une sensation de "faux" dans l'air, peu crédible. Mais ce sont des péchés véniels dans une œuvre qui a le grand mérite de ramener à l'écran un Sam Raimi enfin libre, amusé et amusant, sauvage et grotesque comme aux beaux jours. Send Help est, en définitive, un retour aux sources qui ne sent pas l'opération nostalgie, mais un plaisir authentique de faire du cinéma. Et il nous rappelle, encore une fois, pourquoi au moins deux générations de spectateurs ont grandi dans le mythe du cinéma de Sam Raimi.

Pretty fun dark comedy-horror that features two solid performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. Some decent enough gore and a whole a good way to spend two hours. Not sure I'll revisit even on home video but still entertaining, nevertheless. 3.5/5

Gushing with frenetic humor, two magnificently cutthroat performances, and some well-placed grimy moments of gore, Send Help blows snot, spurts blood, and gauges eyes the only way Sam Raimi knows how.

Rating: B

"Send Help asserts itself as a triumph of controlled chaos and a compelling return of Sam Raimi to an original story, balancing visceral horror with effective social satire. The technical mastery of his direction, allied with Danny Elfman‘s dynamic score and, primarily, the explosive chemistry between Rachel McAdams (MVP) and Dylan O’Brien, elevates the material far beyond simple genre cinema. It’s a movie that dissects the incompetence of power with a sadistic smile, reminding us that when social conventions collapse, true human nature reveals itself in the bloodiest and most honest way possible."

Sam Raimi’s Send Help is a brilliant, twisted exploration of the thin veneer of civilization, anchored by two of the most compelling performances in recent horror-comedy. The story thrives on a deliciously dark "eat the rich" premise: Linda Liddle, a mousey and overworked employee, finds herself the sole protector of her arrogant, incompetent boss, Bradley Preston, after their jet crashes on a remote island. What begins as a survival thriller quickly evolves into a psychological power struggle. The narrative shift from saving the boss to surviving the boss—and eventually subjugating the boss—is handled with a brutal, cynical wit that keeps you guessing until the final frame.

The performances are what truly elevate the film to that 9/10 status. Rachel McAdams delivers a career-defining turn; she masterfully navigates Linda’s descent from a timid office worker into a primal, slightly unhinged survivalist. Watching her switch from a look of genuine fear to a cold, calculating stare is chilling. Opposite her, Dylan O’Brien is fantastic as the entitled nepo-baby Bradley. He manages to be loathsome enough that you root for his suffering, yet vulnerable enough to make the island’s cruelty feel visceral. Together, they turn a simple survival story into a high-stakes character study that proves the most dangerous thing on a deserted island isn't the wildlife—it’s the person holding the water bottle.

Raimi is a good director. He has directed a good movie starring and incredibly good actress with good humour. And what a good movie it is. Like, it's Rachel. She's hot! She's a nice girl! Ohh. She's not hot? Wow! What a challenging, funny film.

One unfortunate thing about this good movie is that it's entirely stolen. I paid to go watch Triangle of Sadness x uhhh Oh, Hi! x uhhhh bunch of other movies. This movie existed before it existed. Its twists, turns and turbulence have all been done before and that is a shame. It's done well, though. I believe you will enjoy it.

I didn't remember to look for the car.

The spirit of “Nine to Five” (1980) is alive and well for “Linda” (Rachel McAdams) as she is constantly being passed over for promotion by golf-playing men who rely on her to do all the work. She hopes for change when new employer “Bradley” (Dylan O’Brien) takes over from his dad, but a combination of his best mate from university and her liking for tuna duly kiboshes that. She is, however, to embark on a team trip to Thailand for a merger meeting and it’s en route that a violent storm leaves her and her hapless boss stranded on a tropical island. It turns out that she is a woman well equipped to survive whilst the injured "Brad" hasn’t a clue, so yet again she appears to be doing all the donkey work whilst he lies under a palm frond expecting to be waited on hand and foot. Exasperated, “Linda” decides she can get by without this obnoxious parasite and so leaves him to languish in the sun in the hope that he will come to realise his failings and her value. Now with new lines slowly being drawn between them, what chance they will be rescued and are either of them being remotely honest with the other? Whilst this isn’t really scary at all, there is still quite a fun “Robinson Crusoe” dynamic between McAdams and O’Brien as their battle of the sexes ebbs and flows. They finesse the arts of boar hunting and berry eating; he learns to appreciate the eye-watering dangers of toxic fish and for most of the film it’s an enjoyably pithy and well-written joust between these two, clearly unevenly matched, characters. I didn’t really like the last twenty minutes so much. They felt rushed, unnecessarily violent and though there is a juicy degree of vindication about it, it didn’t quite top off what is an otherwise entertaining drama that mercifully keeps romance at bay throughout as it shouts clearly the benefits of a meritocracy.

THIS IS NOT A BAD MOVIE. THE MAIN CHARACTER HAD A SAD AND LONELY LIFE. I REALLY FELT SORRY FOR HER. BUT WHEN THE PLANE CRASHED IN THE WATER, AND SHE MANAGED TO WASHED ASHORE ON AN ISLAND, SHE WAS NOT ALONE. HER BOSS HAPPENED TO HAVE WASHED TO THE ISLAND ALSO. HE WAS INJURED AND SHE HELPED HIM BACK TO HEALTH. SHE'S A SURVIVOR SERIES WATCHER AND SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD TO SURVIVE IN THEIR CONDITION. BUT ONE THING, SHE'S HAPPY TO BE THERE ON THE ISLAND. THERE WAS TWO CHANGES TO GET OFF THE ISLAND. SHE DECIDED THAT SHE WANTS TO STAY THERE WITH HER BOSS ON THE ISLAND. SHE EVEN COMMITTED MURDER. THAT'S WHEN I DIDN'T LIKE HER. IT WAS WRONG ON WHAT SHE HAS DONE. I DON'T BLAME HIM FOR TRYING TO GET BACK AT HER. I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING.
