Dread (2009). This lovely little flick sets the stage to be of the generic teen scream genre, occasionally enjoining an MTV feel, before finally throwing off its gloves and baring its teeth. What a jagged smile it has. The acting was top notch for the genre, with all performances exceeding expectations. The direction was solid for newcomer DiBlasi. Clive Barker's story was of course splendid, and this adaption works well for the silver screen. Even the camera occasionally caught the essence of its psychotic convulsion. And the ending, delightfully demented. Kudos for this After Dark Horrorfest entry.
