I've come to expect disappointment when it came to adaptations of Clive Barker's Books Of Blood short stories. So Dread was a surprisingly more pleasant experience than the others.
Three college students study the fear of others for a school project and it gets deadly serious and that's about it. The film begins to drag for a bit but it quickly picks up speed when it gets back on track with Barker's original intentions. A little miscast, poorly directed and all around bumpy, Dread isn't as awful as the other BOB films but it's not as great as it could be.
