Send Help parents' guide: ages 15+
Parents need to know that this Sam Raimi survival thriller is bloody and intense, with a deadly plane crash, graphic injuries, and pervasive strong language, wrapped in dark comedy.
- Violence & scariness: Intense — Strong, bloody survival violence: a plane crash kills most passengers, characters nearly drown and fall from great heights, two plunge to their deaths, a woman fights a wild boar in a bloody struggle, and poisonings cause vomiting and collapse.
- Sex, romance & nudity: A little — Minimal — a few brief, incidental sexual references; no explicit content or lingering nudity.
- Language: Intense — Pervasive strong profanity throughout, including frequent 'f--k' and other harsh language.
- Drinking, drugs & smoking: Some — Characters brew improvised 'toilet wine' and deliberately get drunk while stranded.
- Products & purchases: None
