Well folks this weekend holds the release of four, count em’ four new genre flicks. I can’t remember the last time an event such as this happened. First up we’ve got the widely released and acclaimed remake LET ME IN, which is basically the selling point of the whole bunch. That’s joined by the limited released unrated Adam Green slasher HATCHET 2, the long-awaited-and-now-dumped CASE 39 and the very limited release of Deon Taylor’s slasher flick CHAIN LETTER. All the projects are looking decent enough in their own ways but today I’m here to give you all the latest update on the latter.
So what CHAIN LETTER goods could I possibly have for you the day after it’s release? A bunch of new stills, that’s what! While most of the new shots aren’t anything special there are a couple gems mixed in. And when I say ‘gems,’ I mean blood-covered ones! To check out the whole batch you’re going to want to scroll above and below. Enjoy!
We’ve also got a look at a new music video that’s been splashed with scenes of CHAIN LETTER. The video is for the song “Don’t Be Afraid” by Eddie The Gun. Pretty fitting, huh? I’ve gone ahead and tossed the video up below but you can also head on over to our videos section to check that bad boy out.
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?
Playing now in theaters, though good luck finding it, is Deon Taylor’s CHAIN LETTER which stars a genre-heavy cast that includes Nikki Reed, Brad Dourif, Betsey Russell, Noah Segan, Bai Ling (below), Clifton Powell, Cherilyn Wilson, Matt Cohen, Michael Bailey Smith and Keith David.
