🎥 Movie Reviews — Here’s what we watched:
🏝️ Send Help — A savage, darkly funny survival thriller from Sam Raimi where two coworkers survive a plane crash… and immediately become each other’s biggest problem. Workplace grudges, power struggles, and island horror collide in brutal, unpredictable ways.
🌊 Shelter — A tense, stripped-down action thriller about a former assassin pulled back into violence after rescuing a young girl from a deadly storm. Quiet, grim, and driven by survival, guilt, and reluctant redemption.
