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

Slant Magazine

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

Rated: 1.5/4

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

Sure, it's an increasingly silly, nonsensical film... but with plentiful gore and brutal kills, Chain Letter is no less entertaining than a movie like See No Evil.

Rated: 2.7/5

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

Rated: .5/4

Director Deon Taylor loves the horror genre and still knows how to have fun but keep things gritty and intense at the same time.

Rated: 3.5/5
