Critic Reviews

  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

    By-the-numbers horror flick is about as welcome, and entertaining, as a real chain letter.

  • Dennis Harvey, Variety

    Chain Letter yields few surprises, compensating with de rigueur false scares, unmemorable deaths and the kind of improbably exaggerated gore.

  • Michael Ordoņa, Los Angeles Times

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

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...one of the most disastrously underwhelming and incompetent horror flicks to come around in quite some time...

  • R. L. Shaffer, IGN DVD

    A bland, sloppy, paint-by-numbers slasher that crams a half-baked anti-technology theme down your throat.

    Boo. I rented this because Netflix showed a three star rating, which is actually pretty decent for a horror flick. Therefore, I'm honestly confused by A) how that mess of a plot actually attracted some bigger names and B) why the hell people gave it such a good rating.… More

    Much like an actual chain letter...you should ignore this. I only picked it up because 3 things on the DVD case caught my eye: 'Brad Dourif', 'Betsy Russell' and 'gore'. Needless to say none of them are worth sitting through this half-baked mess.

    uhhh ... add this one to the list of yer films you later apologise for watching, as in: "i was w/a friend and they made me watch it" or how about "i thought it was another movie when i walked into it" or "i saw it for free so it was no sweat offa my… More

    Jesse: "Break the chain, lose a life." That's a little intense. Oh man, this was a movie alright. I need to hurry up and type this one out quickly, because I might literally forget what happened in it in the next few minutes. This was a horror film made as if plenty… More
