check it out...
Death, evil and fear surround the secret history of chain letters, a few of which have stayed alive across time and generations with terrible warnings that force recipients to ask: If I break the chain, will something bad really happen? Consider the 1978 case of Corey Davis, a prep athlete who laughed when he tossed a chain letter away - until authorities found him dead at the bottom of Lake Tolulemme wrapped in chains like a failed Houdini wannabe, the soggy remains of an ominous chain letter stuffed in his gaping mouth. The crime never was solved. Or what about 17-year-old Talia Curtis, whose face was ripped off when a giant chain fell from a tree as she hurried though a New Jersey park in 1992 sobbing, a forgotten chain letter still tucked in her pocket? Police say the incident left her best friend in the Napa Institution for the Mentally Insane, where she sits all day murmuring, "The letter, the letter�." Some say the most menacing of these letters are descendants of the First Letter, a chain letter passed from Lucifer himself to a Dark Angel in an attempt to forward his Evil to everyone who fails to believe. Fast forward to 2008, and a group of six friends from Carlson High School who receive a mysterious chain letter that moves from their email accounts and text messaging to a creepy little icon that begins haunting their My Space pages. Who knew they should take the threats of these messages seriously? Or that chain letters can kill? As the friends battle the curse or a perpetrator targeting them - how can they know for sure??? - friendships are tested once the ominous message begins killing them in the more gruesome ways imaginable, turning one friend against another, with "rules" that seem impossible to escape: The chain letter must be passed to the person you know best and have seen over the past 24 hours. That person must open the letter. Break the chain and a horrible death awaits you. Beat it and you just might live. Do you pass it on? Does friendship mean anything?

Seems like a lame plot. Might be some good killings in it tho.

Look he has bloody chains... and it's a chain letter movie! Get it?;)
This film looks terrible. I recieve script querries about chain letters at least once a month. I reject every one of them. It is a lowest-common-denominator concept that could only be scary to someone under 12 years-old.
It's like Bigfoot scripts or Shroud of Turin scripts - there are thousands of them circulating around Holllywood at any given time and all of the writers thing thier take is really original.
The problem with Chain Letter films is that NO ONE writes letters anymore and NO ONE believes in supernaturla power of a chain letter, so the entire concept is lame.
If it's email, then it is even worse... what could be less threatening than an email? Or a tweet? Or a myspace message?

its a movie for pete's sake...of course its not going to scare people over 12 years old. IMO im more interested in how the director uses his skills in making the movie

I think this movie looks more professional than most other indie movies I've seen.

New Films has picked up worldwide rights to Deon Taylor's horror pic "Chain Letter" and will release the film in the U.S. next year.
Pic, which is being screened for international buyers at the American Film Market, stars Nikki Reed ("Twilight," "Twilight Saga: The New Moon"), Betsy Russell ("Saw" franchise) and Brad Dourif ("Child's Play").
Storyline follows a serial killer who preys on teenagers. His target: Teens who fail to forward a chain letter.
As part of the deal, New Films also is handling international sales for Taylor's comedy "The Hustle."
New Films considers "Chain Letter" a pic with franchise possibilities, according to Taylor and the firm's prexy Nesim Hason.
Todd Slater produced "Chain Letter" through his Slater Brothers Entertainment shingle.

Agreed. You all down-talk it for looking cliche or cheesy, but it's got a concept that although might be popular in scripts has never been in theatres. So we'll see how it goes. If you don't want to see it, don't have to . But ive got an extensive moviewatching schedule this year and this movie is on it.

Doesn't sound very exciting or scary.
Haven't really thought about it since it was first spammed on here.

Saw a commercial for the other day didnt really seem to be that good, saw onhttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chain_letter_2010/ that its going to be a limited release . Chain Letter seems like a movie that ive already seen before, I prefer movies with more plot and originality.

Saw Chain Letter on saturday, the movie was hands down the best horror movie ive seen this year. It actually had a storyline and a plot, unlike most other horror movies where it all about the kill scenes and not about the acting. Nikki Reed was great in Chain Letter, this movie was sooo good I might go and see it again.:D

Haha what can I say I like comedies, and yes ive seen other movies. I just feel like Chain Letter was one of the best this year, mainly because it has great plot and cast which is rare in a horror movie these days.
A friend of mine downloaded this movie and Machete. Watched both...and they were OK. Wasn't crazy about either of them, but they were OK to watch with a six pack.
