You may recall a few weeks back we showed you a clip from something called “5 or Die”, which was sent to us without any real information backing it up as to what the hell it was.

Good news! Now we know; “5 or Die” is the latest from Tom Holland, director of Child’s Play and Fright Night, to name a few. It’s a short film that will appear on StrikeTV, a project launched during the recent writer’s strike to give creative people an outlet outside of the Hollywood system.

“5 or Die” is about three friends who become the victim of a chain e-mail, the instructions of which they have to follow within 5 minutes or die horribly. After watching one of their own brutally slashed by a mysterious man in black, the remaining two struggle to find a way to avoid the same fate.

You can learn more about “5 or Die” on it’s official MySpace page, and more on the rest of the shorts set to premiere on StrikeTV at its official site. Keep it here for more updates on “5 or Die” soon, as well!
