Ostensibly, it's a story about university students who conduct a study of fear - but really it's a collection of poorly rendered images in the order of something vaguely gesturing towards a narrative.

It's yet another Saw or Hostel clone, where unlikable characters trap each other in rooms and commit violence upon one another, though it possesses the dubious distinction of being the most aggressively ugly and the least bound by plot than any other lowly imitator. Produced by Clive Barker and based on his short story "Dread," from "Books of Blood."ĭread is a contemptible film, one of the most ceaselessly putrid and repellent things to ever see release, a "motion picture" which begins with a young mother receiving what can only be described as an "axe-cam" to the face and features a climax solely constructed around watching a young woman starve to death.
