Top 10 of 2025: 6. Dead Mail


★★★★★--This was a movie my friends and I were watching trailers for movie night, noncommittal on what we wanted to watch when we came across this. Everyone was instantly enthralled. Goes back to the 1980s Peoria, Illinois to tell a story with high creep factor (actor John Fleck is always unsettling) and loads of suspense involving physical mail and one of the effortlessly coolest characters I’ve ever seen, Jasper, played by Tomas Boykin. Co-directed Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy, if you have some nostalgia for video store finds from childhood, genre fans so of course you are, this is the perfect Saturday night flick with other cinephiles.
