Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Michael Ledo As a child Quaid (Shaun Evans) witnessed his parents murdered with an ax as a child. He has nightmares and hallucinations about it. In college he gets together with two other students, Steven (Jackson Rathbone) and Cheryl (Hanne Steen) to do a study about fear and dread. Once the interview stage is complete, Quaid wants to take his study to the next level by making people face their fears.The film has all the elements of a good horror slasher: decent build-up, characters, nudity, cute ending, and some originality. For some reason it didn't grab me like it should have. Perhaps it was the non-likeability of Quaid, or the softness of Steven's character.F-bomb, sex, nudity (Erin Gavin, Laura Donnelly + others)

Spikeopath Dread is a deliciously spiteful British/American produced horror adapted from a Clive Barker short story. Plot has three college students meeting up and working together on a documentary about the nature of people's fears. As things progress it becomes apparent that one of them has an ulterior motive.Director and screenplay writer Anthony DiBlasi spends a considerable portion of the film establishing the psychological make-ups of the principal players, which is a key component to making the film work. Theo Green's music trundles away menacingly during this portion of pic, while Sam McCurdy's photography is on the money, with unnerving shades of green, reds and blues stripped back for a perfect troubled world feel.Once the worm turns, and motives and mental anguishes show themselves, Dread reveals a cruel hand of such psychological force that the impact is troubling. Yet this is no torture porn picture, the gore is minimum and this for sure is not a slasher type of film either. It's a slice of mental cruelty mixed with a damaged seed, two bad aspects of human nature crashing together to assault those interested in the psychologically based splinter of horror.Oh and the ending is a cracker-jack, guaranteed to jolt you, for better or worse! 7.5/10

baserock_love Yet another dip in the brainless gross out horror pond. I generally despise this genre but this is a bad movie even for that. Without going into too much detail this movie sinks even lower with trying to gross out the viewer by showing somebody eat maggot infested meat, that's pretty much a new low in using cop out tactics that require absolutely no good writing or screenplay or atmosphere or anything that makes a horror actually scary or unnerving. Instead it resorts to self mutilation, torture and absolutely pedestrian tactics like what i mentioned above to attempt to gross out the viewer. This movie isn't smart at all, it's one of the dumbest horror movies I've ever seen to need to rely on such cheap gross out fare.Speaking of writing and screenplay, it's fairly awful in this with characters not behaving in an even remotely credible way. One guy can meet somebody, have him forcibly remove his watch, smash it in front of his face for no reason other than to be a jerk nearly causing a brawl only to basically have forgotten it happened in the next scene and crash at said guys house and be all buddy buddy. That's just one example, from start to finish I was rolling my eyes at the completely irrational ways the characters acted solely for the purpose of plot convenience.This is just another example of why horror movies have sucked on average since the 80's. Avoid this one.

Meroujan Oundjian I watched this film really not knowing what to expect. i saw Clive Barker's name at the beginning under producers/based on his story as well as a woman named Lauri Apelian under producers, which i can only assume is an Armenian name. So i was to say the least very happy!I understand why some people are complaining about this film not being full on horror but what is more terrifying than the content of the story?the mood gradually changes throughout the film and nothing is as predictable as some might think. And even if their are some smart asses who spend their time trying to predict a film instead of watching it, I honestly think no one can admit to not being at least intrigued and fully engrossed in what is going on during the film. I can admit that their are maybe 2 slow parts within this gem but... If your going to pick out the faults like a scab, at least let the bloody brilliance shine through. Best horror film I have seen in a long time and I practically feed off them.JUST WATCH IT 10/10
