Red Letter Day

This one clearly had a small budget but I have a soft spot in my heart for indie horror movies. All things considered the effects were really cool and I was entertained during the entire runtime. Some of the supporting performances are not very strong but I really liked the lead family and the mom was good enough to carry the film. The story was really cool and I really liked the practical effects. Not a bad option for midnight viewing.

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

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.

The story of this movie is actually very interesting, and it would be a good movie if it was better done, very bad acting (except for Dawn Van de Schoot, she managed to look great which I guess was an extremely difficult task when everyone else around her did very badly). The movie looks very amateur, bad camera work, the fight scenes were hard to watch, like in a way when you are ashamed in behalf of the director.
