Dread (2009)

'What is your strongest memory of feeling fear?'




Directed by Anthony DiBlasi

Starring Jackson Rathbone, Shaun Evans, Paloma Faith and Laura Donnelly 

Released 30th August 2009


Dread is a fantastic uncomfortable film, and the ending is both sickening and satisfactory. Another Clive Barker film this movie is psychological, but has the gore to keep you interested. It doesn't drag on with the details so much and gives you plenty of horror moments to keep you watching.

When Quaid was a child his parents were murdered by a guy with an axe. As you might expect this caused him some severe psychological damage. Seeing as how the homicides are his greatest fear he wishes to discover the fear of other for a school project, or so it seems...

With help from Stephen, another student who regrets how his brother died in a car accident and Cheryl, who was molested as a child and thus cannot eat meat due to her abusive father working in a meat factory.

Quaid then begins interviewing several people about their fears, and in turn begins to bring their fears to life...

As the movie progresses you really see Quaid become more and more unhinged, it seems like he takes a lot of enjoyment n the project and in turn the suffering he produces. 

Dread was released to mixed reviews but honestly if you like Midnight Meat Train, psychological horror and feeling uneasy Dread is the film for you.
It might make you feel a little sick to your stomach...steak anyone?
