Coinciding with its world premiere at SXSW this weekend, a poster and teaser trailer have arrived online for writer-directors Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy’s mystery horror Dead Mail.
The 1980s-set film follows Jasper, a dead letter investigator as he sets over to uncover the mystery behind a blood-stained plea-for-help message which found its way onto his desk at the county post office. Watch the trailer below…
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 county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives. When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…
Dead Mail stars Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman.
