Chain Letter (2010)
1/10
Quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen

Just awful. Having read the description of this film (but not the reviews) I decided to give it a watch. Well, it was a waste of 90 minutes. The premise of the film, although not fantastic, could still have worked had it not have been for the lack of plot, a terrible script, a nonsensical ending and some truly awful characters. At no point in the film do you grow to like or hate any of the characters which is a must in any film. It made no sense.

So you receive a chain letter which says you will die if you do not pass it on to 5 friends. Fair enough. Those who do, live. Those who don't, die. Almost every character is finished by some unknown person who likes chains (get it...). He likes them a lot. Some gruesome deaths, lots of blood and gore but as it jumps from one person to another you really don't care about who is being killed. You'd be lucky if you could name them as they are popped off one by one.

The ending is non-existent - it finishes how it ends. The same girl being killed, in the same way. And, just in case you had forgotten the first 5 minutes of the film you are shown it all over again 80 minutes later.

You are only ever given a small clue as to who is behind all of this. Apparently it'll be the technophobes who have bar code tattoos. You are shown who 2 of these are but, after seeing that the killer is a rather muscly, almost hulk like, man you know that neither of these people committed the killings. So, who did? I have no idea. And neither will you. Nor will you care.
