Shudder today announced that they’ve acquired the lo-fi ’80s Midwest horror thriller Dead Mail from directors Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy.

Check out our review of Dead Mail here.

In the film, “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.

Dead Mail is set to premiere on Shudder on April 18, 2025.
