Three college students set out to document what other people dread the most. However, one of the three turns out to secretly be a sadistic psychopath who uses this knowledge to gruesomely torture the subjects.
In this twisted psychological thriller two college students – outcast Steve and charming, mysterious Quaid – embark on a college project to record and study people’s innermost fears. Enlisting the help of fellow student Abby, they advertise for interviewees and set the camera rolling as their subjects begin to reveal the demons that haunt them. As the project gains momentum, however, it becomes apparent that the three must now face up to the traumatic events of their own pasts and finally confront their darkest fears.
Based on an original short story by horror icon Clive Barker.
“Dread was an atmospheric fear ride through human horror that gives the genre another modern classic. A must see for fans of independent films and Horror films alike.” – Blood Brothers
“If this movie doesn’t end up in my top 5 for the year, then by default 2009 would have to be the best year for horror movies ever.” – Horror Movie A Day
“Dread is a superbly crafted tale of the very roots of fear and manages to be both disturbing and utterly compelling. Hinged largely on the excellent performances of its cast, it also has a fantastic soundtrack, some genuinely shocking moments and a plausible script written by DiBlasi. The pacing is near perfect as it never slows down to a crawl but still allows its characters room to breathe whilst ramping up some serious tension. It’s a standout piece that’s miles away from the usual fare that centres around college students. Do yourself a favour and watch it.” – Gore Press
