Review by LeSchroeck ★★½
Hier wird ein Unterkiefer gespalten. Per Hammer, mit dem man eigentlich Schnitzel platt kloppt. Und es sieht wirklich saftig fies aus. Genau wie alle anderen handgemachten Effekte in Verbindung mit Gewalt. Allerdings ist die Idee dieser Vorort-Menschenjagd, die an "Assassination Nation" oder "The Purge" erinnert, dann doch etwas besser als der dazugehörige Film, den ich gern noch mal als "Black Mirror"-Folge sehen würde. Tatsächlich sieht er für eine Low Budget-Produktion aber auch deutlich besser aus, als man es erwarten könnte. Er braucht nur etwas, bis er in Fahrt kommt. Und die Zeit bis dahin wird nicht nur mit zugespitzten Momenten oder spitzen Dialogen gefüllt. Sie wird auch mit alten Familienstories gedehnt. Oder mit müden Klischee-Merkmalen bestückt, die der vermeintlichen Ursache als Hintergrund dienen. Funktioniert aufm Festival bestimmt anständig, - Nachtrag - aber vermutlich auch nur dort.

Review by 🦃🍂🏈 NotAnnaFaris 🏈🍂🦃 ★★
"Welcome to Red Letter Day. Your instructions are as follows: kill this person before they kill you."
This Canadian mini-Purge on a micro-budget shines brightest in basic dialogue construction, camerawork, & practical effects, but unfortunately the premise has WAY more potential than is realized in its actual plot.
Probably leaked outta all them plotholes...Even so, I had to fight off an impulse to rate this slightly higher, simply bc it looked so good for how little [I imagine] it cost to make.
But ultimately the acting put a hard stop on 2/5.I'll never look at a meat tenderizer the same again tho 🙌🏻

Review by Zay ★★½ 2
Kind've like a lower budget side story in The Purge series. Set in the Aspen Ridge suburb. Only there's no time limit or certain day to kill. Everyone receives red letters in the mail instructing them to kill one particular person before that person kills them.
Its cheesy with characters you never really care about. Most of them you hope die gory deaths in fact. The main familial trio(mother, son, daughter) are barely likable but the mom(Dawn Van de Schoot) was pretty badass. There's some decent bloodletting and a quick 75 min runtime so it never really drags.
Free on Amazon Prime so give it a go!
5.5 out of 10

Review by Boxhamster ★★½
Gesichtet wurde die TV-Ausstrahlung vom 10.02.2023 auf Tele 5.
Bei einer alleinerziehenden Mutter und ihren beiden Teeniekindern flattern drei Briefe ins Haus, in denen je eine Person aus der Nachbarschaft aufgeführt ist, die sie töten sollen, bevor sie selbst von diesen ermordet werden. In der ganzen Gegend sind solche Schriftstücke mit Killpaarungen zugestellt worden, was die Lebensqualität mindert.
Die Idee von der gezielten Nachbarschafts-"Purge" hört sich interessant an und der Film beginnt auch so. Die Mutter und ihre Kinder werden mit ihren Nicklichkeiten untereinander sympathisch aufgebaut.
Im weiteren Verlauf geht der guten Ausgangslage jedoch die Luft aus, denn mit dem konstruierten Streit mit einem befreundeten Pärchen, dem Angriff eines Nachbarn auf den Sohn und der Befreiung der gefangenen Tochter ist… -
Review by cameron j. ★★
Kind of like The Purge? Except like, more personalized? I guess. The concept is interesting for sure, and makes Red Letter Daya pretty fun, gory, quick watch. It’s labeled a comedy, and it can be a little comical and I felt that hurt it a bit in my eyes, by just making it a little too cheesy at times. That and the fairly lackluster acting drags it down that most I think. Because I like I said, the concept is cool. And I thought they oddly were pretty accurate on how people would take this kind of thing. Especially these days; you have people joking, making memes, not really minding it whatsoever, then you have the weirded out people; the…

Review by Björn ★★
There is this ridiculously long monologue during a moment of pure urgency that isn't quite helpful in creating tension and that scene kinda characterizes the whole movie. It does only bring some slight tension at best, except for the finale, which was pretty great and definitely the highlight of the movie. In the beginning character dynamics are actually quite solidly done, but this palpable chemistry fades once the action gets going. I am not even sure if the comedy was intentional or not but having to guess is never a good sign and I take that as a bad thing. The purge-like story had some fascinating aspects, and it's especially the mysterious organisation and the social media hysteria that are…

Review by B E R T ★★★ 1
Not a bad little horror comedy. It’s small in scope, just a hand full of actors and obviously filmed in the neighbourhood down the road and up the corner. It had shades of that Nic Cage movie Mom & Dad mixed with something like a suburban Battle Royale/ Hunger Games type plot. If it had a bigger budget it could’ve become really great but as it is it’s a fun little flick, I enjoyed the 70 minutes I spent watching it.

Review by Martin Kostenzer 🎞️ ★
Red Letter Day, oder - wenn man The Purge auf Wish bestellt!
Die Prämisse des Films klang eigentlich recht interessant, oder zumindest nach einem sehr unterhaltsamen Splatter-Spaß:
In einem Vorort bekommt jeder Bewohner einen Brief mit dem Namen einer Person, die sie töten sollen, da der jeweils andere genau so einen bekommen hat!
Wie gesagt, hätte diese Grundidee definitiv das Potential zu einem brutalen Spaß zu werden, jedoch hapert es komplett bei der Umsetzung.
Ja, die paar handgemachten Splatter-Effekte sehen echt gut aus und generell wirkt die Optik für einen Low-Budget-Film gar nicht mal so schlecht.
Dafür aber alles andere!
Die Schauspieler agieren genauso hölzern wie die Dialoge geschrieben sind und auch die deutsche Synchro trägt nicht zur Qualität des… -

Fantasy Film Fest 2019: Film #29
Hooptober 2019: Bonus film #38This is just the boat scene from The Dark Knight stretched out to feature length with half-assed splatter comedy and obnoxious nerd pandering. Fortunately it's barely feature length.
