(HORROR) Chain Letter - 2010 ***

Now this is an interesting horror film, because despite it's typical huge amounts of gore/nudity shots that seem almost a staple diet of horror films nowadays it does actually in my opinion have an interesting storyline. Well no, actually it's not the story that's interesting, more the hidden meaning. The story is simply a maniac going around killing high schools students because they don't pass on a chain letter that they recieve. That's fair enough, but the meaning I understand from the film is that technology can be a very dangerous and destructive thing. The students are totally reliant on their phones, and in one scene, the technology teacher demonsrates being able to disconnect every mobile in the room with the simple flick of a switch. The students appear almost distraught without these objects, and I guess it shows just how bizarre and obsessive people have become as regards to technology over the last few years. As the technology teacher says 'there is no privacy anymore, nowadays people can contact you at any minute of the day, you have no private time.'

So as regards to that I have rated this movie one star more than I usually would just a run of the mill horror movie because it actually has a message attached to it.
