Taking its cue from The Purge (2013) and Assassination Nation (2018), this grimly allegorises a country all too easily polarised against itself, street by bloody street. For once those letters have arrived, everyone goes postal.

The familial dynamic... is so strong that many of the story's obvious faults can be forgiven just by virtue of the fact we enjoy watching these people fight for their lives.

Even in its runtime, the movie disappoints by the sheer laziness of never pushing the screenplay to a possibly climactic finale. Instead, we get weak family non-drama and a series of uninteresting horror moments relying way more on blood than guts.

Red Letter Day has an idea, but neither the means to execute nor the vision to deliver a tooth-and-nail struggle against societal breakdowns.

Despite its initial slow start, Red Letter Day turns into a satisfying horror comedy that cleverly makes a sleepy little neighbourhood wake up and as the violence, horror and the black comedy laughs ensue...

3/5

In many ways Red Letter Day is a humour heavy, daylight spin on The Purge, one which works well, but could benefit from a longer run time.

Why couldn’t this concept/idea have gotten into the hands of a good director and some good actors 😫😫 . This could have been so good . There is nothing worse than when acting is so poor it ruins a great idea . 1.7. When you figure it out ...... it was so painfully obvious .

Concept had potential however the script was idiotic. It's one of those movies that completely annoys you as it strives for drama but only succeeds in questioning your intelligence. This movie will lower your I.Q. if viewed more than once.

One of the worst movies (impressively) I've seen in a while. Horrible acting. awkward dialogue, nonsensical plot. It was such hot garbage. I wanted to think the film was just being an ironic parody of cliche horror, but I think that's giving too much credit to the director. Pretty sure there's no subtext here.

"I don't believe this. I don't believe any of this," said one character. I don't either. The premise has nothing to hold it up. Motivation=getting a letter. That is supposed to make you go kill someone? Beyond stupid. They give people money to make this garbage.
