Review of Dread

Dread (2009)
1/10
Veneer, polish, shine but absolutely nothing beneath the surface
22 December 2009
Starting out with Goth, shadows, back-lit silhouettes, lots of them to the point I started to develop a head ache and all I wanted to do was find a way to up the contrast and add a little brightness just to the screen mind you; it was obvious from the start that there would be no brightness to the story or the tone. The goal was to frighten the crap out of the viewer but since the movie commits the Cardinal Sin of horror by showing the monster or the monstrosities very early on, there was absolutely no way to top the opening gore.

Think Saw, Hostel, typical torture porn made all the more torturous with freshman level 6 Buds and a Bong philosophizing about touching The Beast, Dread If you can't pirate this movie do not spend money on it.
