Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Emma Simmonds

Horror legend Sam Raimi is at the helm of this madcap survival thriller, in which an office dogsbody and her nasty new boss get stranded on a deserted island following a plane crash. Rachel McAdams plays the lonely and hardworking Linda, with Dylan O'Brien her nepo-baby nemesis, who refuses to give Linda the promotion promised to her by his father. However, once the pair wash up on the island the hyper-capable Linda seizes charge, with the spoilt, incompetent Bradley incensed at the role reversal. The film plays out like a gender-swapped version of Swept Away (both the 1974 Italian version and its disastrous 2002 remake), with some resemblance to Ruben Ostlund's 2022 Triangle of Sadness. It's not quite as satirically successful as the latter and McAdams as a frump is frankly absurd, but things get deliciously dark and there's a manic energy that's recognisably Raimi. The director gets great value from his leads, with McAdams and O'Brien absolutely launching themselves into their performances as they plumb the depths of human derangement.
