Megan D Watch this if you love the 80s, thrillers or psychological horror! This is a MUST SEE Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review David S Incredibly well written with many sides of a story developing from different points of view that all tie together with a twist. Masterpiece 👍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Hugo S A man is kidnapped and held hostage by his demented business partner. The victim eventually manages to send a bloodied note to the local post office, pleading for help. The letter is handled by a skilled worker specialized in tracking down lost mail. The chain of events triggers unforeseen impacts on the lives of these three men. Set in the 1980s, "Dead Mail" is an unconventional thriller that explores extreme isolation and obsession in the context of a friendship that becomes increasingly toxic. A slow-burn story that requires patience and appreciation for its nostalgic throwback. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Judson E Really well done movie, I wish more films were produced like this, particularly the gritty feel it has. Gritty camera work, great acting and really good story, no character in this movie is wasted. Although you can kinda see where everything is going with the plot but its a really well made film, so it's fun to watch. Again the acting is great, the antagonist is intense and crazy. Watch it on shudder. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/25 Full Review Claudio C Dead Mail (2024) Another Great Movie by Shudder (11,715 –24 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In the 80’s, an Afro-American man crawls to a mailbox in an isolated area to put a message inside asking for help. In one Mail Distribution Center in Illinois, Ann (Micki Jackson) and Bess (Susan Priver) check the dead mail, correcting Zip codes and other minor mistakes. When Ann finds the note, she delivers it to Jasper (Tomas Boykin), an expert in charge of finding addresses and other difficult tasks, despite the objections of the obnoxious Brooks (Sean Heyman). They do not know that Jasper contacts his friend, the computer hacker Renée (Nick Heyman), to help him with the research. On the next morning, Jasper is attacked and murdered while talking to Renée by a man looking for the note. A few weeks ago, the man that killed Jasper named Trent (John Fleck) is a computer engineer that meets the brilliant keyboard technician Josh (Sterling Macer Jr.), who is the man who posted the note, in an exposition and invites him for a partnership. Josh develops a new keyboard, and a Japanese company invites him to move to Japan and works with them. When Trent, who is a psychopath obsessed by synthesizers, finds that Josh will leave USA to go to Japan, he abducts and chains the man inside the house. Meanwhile, Renée, Ann and Besse are investigating who murdered their friend Josh since they do not accept the police version that Books killed Jasper. “Dead Mail” (2024) is another great movie by Shudder, with a mysterious and suspenseful fictional story. The production is very careful since the story takes place in the 80’s, using analogical equipment and shot in slightly faded color with grainy texture. The non-chronological screenplay keeps the mystery to the viewer until the ending, and the fate of each character in the credits gives the sensation of a true story, but it is not. My vote is seven.

It’s fine. Story leaves a lot to be desired, but the 80’s aesthetics and feel is really wonderful. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
