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**...
Send Help
Two colleagues become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.
"Meet Linda Liddle... She's from strategy and planning. She's the boss now."

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 bo...
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.
