Deon Taylor’s nihilistic slasher flick CHAIN LETTER is one I had the opportunity to see a couple of months back (stay tuned for a review shortly), so it comes with extra alacrity to say we have a newly minted trailer for the joint at the bottom of the page. C’mon…a bespectacled Nikki Reed? Please…
What I particularly dig about the new trailer (and something I noted in my review), is how the villain in the movie, almost with superhuman Jason Voorhees force, bursts through windows and walls like a shred of paper-mache. Comedy, if nothing else.
Written by Taylor, Diana Erwin and Michael J. Pagan – CHAIN LETTER centers on:
Six friends who receive a mysterious chain letter via text messaging and in their email accounts from a maniac who’s hunting down teenagers who fail to forward his online chain letter. Who knew they should take the threats in the chain letter seriously? Or that chain letters using the teens’ favorite technologies to track them can kill? This maniacal game pits friend against friend as they race to beat rules that seem impossible to escape. Break the chain, lose a life. Do you pass it on? Does friendship mean anything?
Brad Dourif, Keith David, Betsey Russell, Noah Segan, Bai Ling, Clifton Powell, Cherilyn Wilson, Matt Cohen and Michael Bailey Smith also star in the flick.
Open CHAIN LETTER October 1st.
Nikki Reed!
