It’s been a long, winding road for CHAIN LETTER – our first hint of the flick came back in November of 2007 – but the slasher flick is finally read to come home. After a very, very brief theatrical run this past October, the Deon Taylor-directed film will be hitting DVD and Blu-ray in February courtesy of Image Entertainment. You can peep the cover art to the right.
The special features have not been revealed yet, but the “unrated version” – available only on DVD – contains new footage not seen in the theatrical release. (Although since no one saw the theatrical release, it’ll all basically be new to you.)
Nikki Reed (Twilight, New Moon) stars as Jessie, a high-school student addicted to her laptop and cell phone – to every mode of cyber-speech. But suddenly this communication turns from amusement to menace. She and six of her friends become the subjects of a chain letter that is much more than the usual combination of annoyance and guilt. Arriving through e-mail and text message, the letter carries a threat: that if it is not passed on, the party to blame faces an unexpected, horrible death.
Unstoppable and barely believable…this is a message that cannot be deleted. But to forward this message on would ensure the death of a friend – does one save or be saved? As time runs out, the lethal letter’s instructions become more challenging – it is up to the survivors to find who is behind these deadly dispatches: before they are dispatched themselves.
arring Nikki Reed, Noah Segan, Keith David, Brad Dourif, and Betsy Russell, CHAIN LETTER hits DVD and Blu-ray on FEBRUARY 1st. Pre-order the DVD right HERE or the Blu-ray right HERE.
