Dennis Harvey

Yields few surprises, compensating with de rigueur false scares, unmemorable deaths and the kind of improbably exaggerated gore. Read full review

Michael Ordona

Chain Letter is a nonsensical, bloody mess that, well, is missing a few links. Read full review

Despite of all the bad reviews that I have been reading, Chain Letter isn't the worst movie that I have seen. There were a few cheesy lines here and there, but they delivered gore in the movie pretty well. I am a huge fan of gore, so it worked out for me.

This is another horror movie that should never have been shot because it's really bad.

Whole story is based on the most perennial urban myth: an e-mail chain that kills when it's not forwarded by the recipient. If the idea is absurd and unbelievable for a normal person, make this real in a movie, even if it's just a horror motto, is surreal. Didn't they have a better idea or excuse to make a movie with teenagers being shredded? The film is full of gore and macabre murders, but this is not enough to make a good movie because there is no real plot behind, giving coherence to all work. What saves the film from being total crap is the cast's almost decent performance. The actors strive to do a good job, but it's almost impossible, given the bad stuff they have to work with. I respect that effort, but it's simply not enough to make the movie worth-watching.… Expand

A gruesome, bloody, disgusting, unrealistic disaster of a film. Since there is no sane way of looking at this film intelligently might as well laugh when someone dies since the characters are so irritating.

This is the ugliest most twisted thing ever. How can anyone enjoy something that is so sickly to watch. This is so terrible and gruesome. This should not be allowed to be seen. Just ewwww.
