Chain Letter, Stop Irritating Me!

Chain Letter, a slasher flick released in 2010, is a low budget film with only one notable actor, Keith David.

Slasher flicks are about a "troubled" individual who kills many people, who tend to be rather innocent, usually in a gruesome fashion. There's not a lot of opportunity to reveal an inner truth or make a profound statement. In fact the important variaitions tend to be the killer, the motivation, and the deaths. So I don't expect a lot when I watch a slasher flick, but it is hard to dissappoint me too; I know what I'm getting into.

Chain Letter fails in both motivation and deaths. There is a gruesome/interesting death of a jock, and a glossed over gruesome/interesting death of some chick. The other deaths are boring. One girl is slapped in the head by a chain...just the once, really hard so it indents her skull. Another guy is impaled and lifted by a hook, until dead. Just so boring. There might be other deaths...but they must be unmemorable.
As for the motivation...some Luddite nonsense. They argue that a Luddite might use the weapons of technology against technological users...um, I don't know. Using the weapons of the enemy against them?...I guess. Anyway the Luddite is clearly far more technologically advanced then anyone else in the movie. Oh, I'm just assuming that the killer is part of some old violent Luddite cult that disappeared after Y2K amounted to nothing. It's never truly established....just hinted at, rather heavily, in extensive "flashbacks."

Which brings me to the most irritating aspect of this film! The "flashbacks"! I get that you can kinda show someone's thought process by using flashbacks from previous scenes: "Oh remember Moment A, and Moment B and Moment C? Well, that's how I came to this revelation!" But there are too many and they are too long. And worst yet, they don't even reveal all that much useful information. The film is only 1 hour and 23 min. (without credits), but, since the "flashbacks" take about 15 min. and the first scene is mostly repeated at the end (another 10 min.), the film is barely an hour long.

IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1148200/) lists the budget at an estimated 5 million dollars. The gross of the film $143,000.
I am flabbergasted. I could make a better (more coherent, more gruesome, more interesting) slasher flick for $143,000.
