Dead Mail Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Dennis Harvey
An effective, twisty thriller with a singular edge of off-kilter black comedy.
Fangoria
Jordan Hoffman
There's some nice packaging to this low-budget project, but the box is a little empty.
RogerEbert.com
Katie Rife
Great care is given to aesthetics, and period detail; what's accomplished visually on (one assumes) a limited budget is remarkable.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[O]nce the filmmakers dismiss the most persuasive part of their story, the movie becomes an uphill battle to try to be anywhere near as effective.
Collider
Luna Guthrie
Dead Mail is a rock-solid crime thriller horror, the exact kind Shudder is such a great advocate for, and one I hope we will see much more of.
IGN Movies
Emma Stefansky
The movie plays its fun, spooky premise as straight as possible, while winking at the absurdity of its analog aesthetic.
Paste Magazine
Jim Vorel
To think of Dead Mail primarily as a "horror movie" is doing a disservice to its deep, abiding weirdness. There are flashes of nail-biting suspense in this utterly unique feature, but for every sharp intake of breath there's as much unexpected tenderness.
Not That Rob Thomas (Substack)
Rob Thomas
Audacious in its narrative structure, thrilling in its execution of shocks, and unexpectedly poignant in its rich characterizations, it's a gangbusters debut.
Horror Press
Sharai Bohannon
They seemingly set out to create a dead letter investigator and maybe show that they are heavily influenced by the work of the Coen brothers.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
An intriguingly offbeat thriller that feels like it was unearthed from the depths of the 1980s, complete with a synthesizer-heavy score and a distinctly retro aesthetic.
Screen Slate
Elissa Suh
Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy's tactile, lo-fi thriller weaves disarming melancholy into this Misery-framework, infusing unwarranted empathy.
In Review Online
Chris Cassingham
An expectedly thrilling, and unexpectedly moving, ode to public servants.
The Blogging Banshee
Molly Henery
Dead Mail is a textural 80's throwback that gives an intimate, even empathetic view of the drastic measures one man will take to avoid loneliness.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
It's hard to ignore this charming tale of kidnapping and death. By the end, you'll see a vision of human darkness with few peers.
The Film Stage
John Fink
Dead Mail marries the aesthetic of a cold institutional documentary with a slasher flick and, in its best moments, is one of the most exciting horror films of the year.
Dread Central
Mary Beth McAndrews
'Dead Mail' takes contemporary ideas about the 1980s and nostalgia and twist them into a neo-Fargo narrative about being in the wrong place and the wrong time, small-town violence, and trying to just find a friend.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Everything here looks grimy, as if the film itself had been lying around in poor conditions for years, and colours and patterns are artfully mismatched.
Rue Morgue Magazine
Michael Gingold
Part of the fun of DEAD MAIL, after the intense introductory bit and a shocking development about a half hour in, lies in watching the story unfold, surprising us and keeping us in suspense as it lays out its puzzle pieces and snaps them into place.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
Dead Mail is a riveting thriller from start to end. DeBoer and McConaghy manage to authentically capture the period setting both in the production design and filmmaking style.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
A reinvention of the '80s aesthetic, a deft genre blend, and intimate empathy afforded to all of its unique characters make this retro form experiment a fascinating watch.
