Review of Dread

Dread (2009)
7/10
Dark and twisted
4 July 2011
Not your average horror movie. I was happily surprised by this piece having seen its mixed reviews on here, but I am on a horror binge at the moment and well, this was better than most. So you can read the plot at the top so there is no need to go over it again, but what you'll find here is a great little movie that slowly turns the screws, rather than jumps in gore galore. After the first half hour or so you'll probably be wondering where its all going, as these "kids" do their "school project" and there is virtually no recognition of them being in school/college etc, but this is just the vehicle for Quaid's experiment in Dread, with a nice twisted ending. The effects are decent, acting is done really well, the story is pretty tight and pretty original too ... which for a horror movie is a major plus. I'd definitely give this a watch if you are after something with a bit more substance than the run of the mill "horror" tripe that comes out.
