Chain Letter Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
...one of the most disastrously underwhelming and incompetent horror flicks to come around in quite some time...

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

One M1ssed Call meets Final Destination in this formulaic but fun gore-fest. In case you are wondering, there are chains. And letters. [it] is about as subtle as a sledgehammer, but that works in this mushy, gushy milieu.

Looks it was prepped, shot, and cut in one drunken weekend.

I've watched hundreds of movies - no, make that thousands - on the big screen. 'Chain Letter' has the dubious distinction of being the only movie I've ever seen that had no recognizable ending.

It's not even a real movie.

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

Nothing screams hackneyed repurposing like using a Nietzschean citation as preface to very non-Nietzschean drivel.

Chain Letter yields few surprises, compensating with de rigueur false scares, unmemorable deaths and the kind of improbably exaggerated gore.
NewsBlaze
The Anti-Social Network, and a stylishly creepy invasion of privacy cyber-thriller, despite an overabundance of cheesy gore. As anti-online techie terrorists go about homicidally deleting digital junkies everywhere, with You've Got Mauled deranged glee.

A severely muddled, amateur offering, the film is a complete waste of time. There's almost pride in the manner the feature highlights Taylor as arguably the most inept director of 2010.

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