Super Early Art for Chain Letter
31 March 2009 11:17 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
You know what? I'm super excited about Deon Taylor's upcoming flick under the Twisted Pictures banner, Chain Letter, and not just because the movie has a great cast and is rumored to have some insane kills.
I'm excited because of Taylor himself! Why? Because of his anthology Nite Tales (review here). That little low budget flick had every right to completely suck, but it didn't. True, Flava Flav almost killed it, but he's not in Chain Letter and that's a bonus right there! Taylor's energy and enthusiasm to make a good horror movie won me over. I expect the same from his latest effort.
Chain Letter stars Michael Bailey Smith, Nikki Reed, Noah Segan, Keith David, Betsy Russell, Matthew Cohen, Cody Kasch, Michael J. Pagan, Cherilyn Wilson, and Clifton Powell and tells the tale of a maniac who targets teens when they fail to forward chain mail. Still no word on a release date. …
