SYNOPSIS

Red-hot young star Jackson Rathbone, fresh from the smash film TWILIGHT and the upcoming S. DARKO, stars in the stylish horror/thriller CLIVE BARKER’S DREAD, based on the story that inspired the SAW franchise. Stephen (RATHBONE) and Cheryl (Hanne Steen) are college students making a documentary about what people dread in life. But they have no idea that their partner Quaid (Shaun Evans, BOY A, TELSTAR), witnessed his parents being murdered by an axe-wielding lunatic and wants to make others experience his own personal horror. The three set out to document people revealing their life’s most terrifying moments. But Quaid quickly grows bored with mere interviews and decides to take the study to a much more visceral level, causing all three to become vulnerable as they reveal their fears in front of the camera. Just as Stephen and Cheryl realize they have partnered with a madman, they also find themselves subjects of the hideous experiment they brought to life… learning more about fear and dread than any human mind can stand. From HELLRAISER to CANDYMAN, Clive Barker is the godfather of modern horror/fantasy. His protégé Anthony DiBlasi, co-producer of the upcoming HELLRAISER and executive producer on BOOK OF BLOOD and MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, masterfully directs CLIVE BARKER’S DREAD, the second film in the terrifying BOOK OF BLOOD franchise, with mind-blowing special effects from Artem (TROY, TOMB RAIDER 2). For millions of horror fans worldwide, there will be no greater dread than missing this landmark of terror.
