Dread: This one was pretty good. It was based on Clive Barker's short story "Dread". It's a little slow but I think that it works for this movie. The story line is interesting and the casting/acting was pretty good as well. I think they gave good backgrounds on all of the characters so you felt for them. This is a little more of a psychological thriller than horror but it works. I think the movie really picks up towards the end with a little bit of a twist. There are even a few scenes that make me cringe. All and all I give this one an 8. The outcast cinema student, Stephen Grace, does not drive cars due to the trauma of losing his brother in a car accident. He befriends, Quaid, who since the age of 6 has experienced dreadful nightmares and daydreams about the death of his parents. Quaid proposes they research about each one's innermost fear. Stephen sees the chance of developing an original thesis for college and invites his friend, Cheryl, to work with them. Among the interviewees, Stephen talks to his colleague, Abby who works with him in the library. Abby has a complex about the way she looks. When the work is almost complete, Quaid has an outburst at one interviewee's and ends up destroying the camera and editing equipment. Stephen begins to re-evaluate the situation. Quaid end's up finishing the study in his own way.
