''Chain Letter'' is a 2010 SlasherMovie about a SerialKiller who sends a chain letter to a group of individuals stating if they don't send the letter to five others, they'll die.
Not to confused with the trope ChainLetter, even though the film centers around them.
----
!!Distinct tropes of this film:
* BigNo: Michael, [[spoiler: when he fails to save Jessie]].
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted. [[spoiler: Michael turns out to be the [[FinalGirl Final Guy]]]].
* BlatantLies: The rule is that you're supposed to send the letter to five others, or you'll die in 24 hours. [[spoiler: So why is it that ''not even ten seconds'' after Neil deletes several messages sent to him, he gets killed?]]
* BrokenAesop: Technology is bad. Using too much of it and deleting chain letters means you'll die a horrible death. ...Wait, what?
* ChainPain: Chains are the primary weapon of the killer in this movie.
* CoversAlwaysLie: See the page image there? Yeah, that [[AvertedTrope actually happened]]. [[spoiler: To Jessie.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
** [[spoiler: Jessie]].
** Johnny. Both his arms and legs are broken by chains, and then the killer uses said chains to slowly ''slice his face open''.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: TheHeroDies, TheBadGuyWins]]. Nuff said.
* EyeScream: When Johnny gets killed, the killer tightens a set of chains over his eyes and slowly crushes them.
* {{Fingore}}: While [[spoiler: Jessie]] is being dragged down the driveway, she scraps her fingertips along the ground.
* {{Gorn}}
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Half of one victim's body is crushed by an engine. [[spoiler: Jessie]] gets torn in half after being chained to two moving vehicles.
* {{Hypocrite}}: The killers. Even though they believe that technology is bad, they apparently consider it acceptable to use technology to prove how bad it is.
* IdiotBall: Passed around quite a bit towards the end.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Nice job setting off a trap and [[KillItWithFire roasting Kevin Daniels alive]], Detective Crenshaw]].
* SpaceWhaleAesop: Remember: never drive and talk on your cell phone at the same time. [[spoiler: You may not notice that you're dragging your chained daughter down your driveway and are about to pull her apart with your car]].
* SpoilerOpening: The film starts out with a young girl being dragged down a driveaway and presumably getting pulled apart by two cars. The only difference between the beginning and ending is that [[spoiler: the ending confirms that the girl ''did'' die, and that [[TheHeroDies she was the protagonist]]]].
* TeethFlying: Johnny has two of his teeth knocked out after the killer bashes his head against a water fountain.
* TemptingFate: "Come and get me!"
