Usually, the movies brought to us by afterdarkhorrorfest are quite lame. Mostly low budget and independent, it is rare to find a decent movie among the eight proposals. This is why i was so impressed when i saw Dread. First, the story hasn't got much to it, now that i think about it. Just a bunch of college students that make a project about something that has to do with fear and trauma, and then one of them goes insane. Usual stuff. But then there's a twist. The dude is so freaky and twisted that ends up hurting everybody else (especially his friend's girlfriend). And the ending is fuckin' unexpected. I was shocked with that ending (obviously not going to spoil you the pleasure of watching the movie).
Have to admit i haven't payed that much attention to the soundtrack, but if i remember, it was normal. Average sounds for movies lioke this. And then there's the acting item. Which wasn't bad at all. Matter of fact, i was quite impressed, since i only know the dude who plays Stephen and he's in (guess what?) Twilight.
Overall, the movie has a few boring periods, but they saved all the good parts to the end.
