Red Letter Day

source: 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.

Point blank dont waste your time. I can not put into words how bad this movie is. The worst story line, actors and by the end of this horrible movie I was so mad that movies like this are still being made.

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.

I'm usually a scaredy cat and can't watch thrillers. I can fall asleep to this movie. The budget for this film was probably $7 and some stale Doritos someone found in the back of their '95 Ford pickup. I wish I could give this no stars. The best part is that it was so short. And that my husband and I got a few good laughs, once we got past the lengths of unnecessary dialogue. Don't quit your day job, Cameron.

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

Really enjoyed this realistic gory movie. Original, though similar ilk to the Purge, but better and something anyone in real life could copy - unlike the fantasy behind the Purge. Well acted, amazing actually. Very fine details, such as bandaged and painkillers that other movies ignore. I would definitely watch this movie again.

7th grade school project? There should be a law prohibiting making garbage like this. This movie is laughable but not funny, nor is it scary. It's crappy as can be. Everything about this movie is bad, the acting, script, direction, editing... A terrible attempt at making a film. Extremely low budget. The high scores are as usual from wanker friends of cast and crew!

The concept sounded vaguely interesting but the execution was so awful that... never mind. I had a whole bilious review in my head but it doesn't deserve even that- this is bad and the people who made it should feel bad. I gave it two stars only because at ~70 minutes it was blessedly short.

In the first 15 mins of the film, i thought its suppose to be fun like zombieland. Halfway through i realized its not funny and the things that characters do in the film are downright ridiculous. The mom has got 2 really dumb kids, its tragic. The son is like a young adult but sat on the floor and cry when neighbour comes attacking. Didnt even attempt to defend himself. The daughter ran away quietly instead of helping the brother to fend off attacker. Mom tried to save the daughter while the bad bf busy talking to the webcam... she snuck into the room in standing position instead of lunging at the bad guy who is just 1 feet away. Really? She really thinks she could untie the daughter without anyone realizing? The more i watch it, the more i wanna smash the TV. Cmon... if you wanna make a movie, at least put more thought on characters acting realistically in situations.
