Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 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. Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Joey Keogh Wicked Horror 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. Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Adam Mock Film Inquiry 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. Nov 1, 2019 Full Review Matt Donato Flickering Myth 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. Rated: 1/5 Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese 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... Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Kat Hughes THN 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Emilliano Jr S Entertaining with a few solid laughs. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 . Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/20 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review Audience Member "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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review jane p So fun! It really pulls back the mask on suburbia! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
