Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter By-the-numbers horror flick is about as welcome, and entertaining, as a real chain letter. Oct 5, 2010 Full Review Diego Semerene Slant Magazine Nothing screams hackneyed repurposing like using a Nietzschean citation as preface to very non-Nietzschean drivel. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 3, 2010 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Chain Letter yields few surprises, compensating with de rigueur false scares, unmemorable deaths and the kind of improbably exaggerated gore. Oct 2, 2010 Full Review Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies 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 Jan 9, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...one of the most disastrously underwhelming and incompetent horror flicks to come around in quite some time... Rated: .5/4 Jun 16, 2012 Full Review Heather Wixson Dread Central 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 Aug 10, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
