I think chainletter is goin to be a good movie the synopsis is good. It comes out on May 21 in theaters near you
Why is Chain Letter going to be good? You have not made a convincing argument. To say something is "good" is not enough. -Mike
This is not an argument whether or not the movie will be 'good' or not, as I leave comment for conclusion, but I do have this to add:
The movie intrigues me in several aspects. First, Michael B. Smith who plays the villain got injured on set while lifting a real person and throwing them, tore a muscle, and continued to film, unknowning to the staff. That's determination.
The movie displays the talent of Brad Dourif who is a longstanding hero of mine in respects to playing very mysterious and difficult-to-execute characters. His participation in various other horror films always brought something exciting to the movie.
It has been talked about the deaths employed in this film are 'creative'. Personally enjoying the aspects of sadism in villains (or heroes) in horror films, the idea of death being a creative force driving the unusual filming of mortality's conclusion brings me an interest to view anything that claims to defy the entertainment industry's standards.
But that's not a ploy for this movie to be good, perhaps only enough to raise an eyebrow. Like I said before, we can critique the hell out of it once it hits theaters.
I am a fan of Brad Dourif, as well. I am not familiar with Michael B. Smith. Although, I have seen "The Hills Have Eyes."
Death is fascinating and if the film is creative rather than the usual, I will keep my ears peeled. Good to see that Deon Taylor's film will reach theaters. A wider showing means a wider audience. In the end fans of the genre will decide if Chain Letter has a lasting affect/effect.
Leave it to these indie film companies to surprise you. They're not bound by a large expecting audience, therefore they will defy norms to thrill audiences. I've got my eye on a lot more independent film companies these days. The technology to make a visually appealing movie is commonplace, now it's more a matter of grabbing the viewer's attention and keeping it through plot, character development, and good ol' synchronized dying!
Very well done website by the way. Enjoy it greatly!
Thanks for that last comment. I feel less like I am shouting into the darkness, nowadays. -Mike
