Red Letter Day

1. Thought it was at first some ritual,to be part of that housing community. Nope!

2. A week version of the purge? Nope! As people are told,who to kill by letter.

3. Why tell people who to kill,if they end of hurting others? Seemed to go from the premise.

4. Why did the cops tell mom,they will send help after 6? Did the letters give a time letter expires? Was cop(s) part of it? A bit dumb in plots holes.

5. If these letters got sent everywhere why was there not more mayhem on the streets,etc.

6. Will people be arrested if they killed anyone,even if claiming self defense?

Acting,actors & cinematography average but not overly low quality.

Worth a watch but don't expect a masterpiece.

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.

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 just can't take a film seriously with such stupid characters. Someone sends letters out saying kill your neighbour or they will kill you. The police don't take it seriously, so the neighbours start killing each other lol. The stupid main characters don't just drive out of town or to the police station.... speaking of, where are the cops? The plot is just too dumb to even suspend belief and try to enjoy it, as there is nothing here to enjoy.

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
