From the producers of Barbarian and Late Night with the Devil, open the trailer for Dead Mail below.
Written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy, the ’80s-set thriller streams April 18 on Shudder.
On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him.
The note makes its way to the desk of Jasper, a seasoned ‘dead letter’ investigator at a 1980s midwestern post office. As he begins to piece together the letter’s origins, it leads him down a violent, unforeseen path to a kidnapped keyboard engineer and his eccentric business associate.
Sterling Macer Jr., John Fleck, Susan Piver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star.
Zachary Weil and Brett Arndt produce, with Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Adam Goldworm, and Susan Priver serving as executive producers.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of SXSW, “Dead Mail builds to a deeply satisfying conclusion, with supporting players Susan Priver and Micki Jackson driving up the intensity in a final confrontation when the stakes are at their most dire. Its horror components are light, but for genre fans looking for something off the beaten path with an impressive craft on display and challenging ideas, Dead Mail is worth opening.”
