Dead Mail (2025)
A deranged psycho kidnaps a man and locks him in his basement. The victim manages to drop a message in a nearby mailbox.
The film takes place in the 80s (and it certainly feels like it); I loved the dreamy synth score and stylish old-school direction.
The best part is watching the postal worker’s investigative process when dealing with lost letters.
It’s on Shudder.

Movie TV Tech Geeks #MovieFeatures #ZachCregger #DeadMail #Horror The Director of 'Weapons' Raved About This 2024 Shudder Horror Movie You Need to Watch http://dlvr.it/TNb0Jb
Anybody here watch Dead Mail? Wasn't expecting to get pulled into a movie during one of my s/o's horror movie marathons (wouldn't exactly call this a horror movie, but that's what she thought she was getting into lol) due to vintage synthesizer content, but that's what happened, and it ended up being really good.
If you're into synthesizers, while that's more of the set & setting than what the movie's about, I can say that you may very well appreciate the score. The use of wonky, off-kilter synthesizer during moments of tension or foreboding is great on its own, but even moreso combined with the subject matter. There's also some classical music, which I can't pretend to be super knowledgable about, but for the most part it's pretty standard stuff most people have definitely heard at some point.
It's a worthwhile watch that doesn't cheapen itself by leaning too heavily on tropes. Everyone involved (me, my s/o, and our mutual bff) left equally impressed.
Oh and there's also a little something something for the postal service nerds (like the USPS, not the music duo); it really is a wild story, tbh.
