Red Letter Day

Disappointing. Trailer did its job and made this film appear far better than it was. The script was terrible, nonsensical and the acting poor. Zero chemistry between actors supposedly family.

This film appears to have been made by a couple of bored special make up FX guys and friends. The gore is lots of fun and actually makes it quite watchable despite the poor writing and puzzling actions of all the people who suddenly become Psychotic because received a Red Envelope ( supposedly addressed to each person although close up shots show nothing but a triangle on them) with a letter saying who they need to kill. Nonsense. But I ignored for the sake of the film......but that couldn't save it, or the fun gore.

I was really looking g forward to this film as well, it's been quite a while since I was this disappointed in a film.

The first third is ok-ish but it gets dumb and dumber. Who in his right mind tiuches a turning drill! Oh come on... stopped the movie in the middle. Too stupid...

Altho the plot sorta reminds me of a take off on Twilight Zone's 'Monsters on Maple Street' or of the more recent The Purge, it's not as well done, well acted, or well scripted. Disappointing overall and very mediocre even for a B Movie

I had zero expectations going into this and actually found it to be very entertaining. It was cool seeing one of these types of movies with a middle aged mother as the lead character kicking people's asses. I really liked the concept too but wish that they showed more of what was happening outside of the suburbs on the red letter day. It felt like it went by too quickly but I enjoyed the film overall.

Red Letter Day is a movie that should have been picked up by Blumhouse. The story was interesting enough for me to sit through, though the acting was absolutely terrible. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of low budget, badly written and poorly acted movies especially when it comes to the horror genre. But the entire time I found myself thinking about what could have been and who would have been cast in the roles. In all honesty it confuses me how this wasn't a Blumhouse production as it seems to be the exact thing they would normally release. With a better budget and a better cast (personally I was thinking Winona Ryder, Katherine Langford & Alex Wolff) this could have been another horror success but unfortunately this has been released instead
