Frightfest UK: Hi-Res Stills From ‘Dread’ and ‘Giallo’!
We got a bunch of new hi-res still from two films playing at this August’s Frightfest UK in London. Inside you can get a new look at Anthony DiBlasi’s Dread, a Clive Barker adaptation that centers on three college students who study other people’s fears. As the study progresses, one of the students begins to seek salvation from his obsession by exploiting the terrors of his fellow participants. In addition to the trailer we brought you over the weekend, also check out a new look at Dario Argento’s Giallo, which takes place in Italy where an American woman fears her sister may have been kidnapped. Inspector Enzo Avolfi fears it’s worse. They team up to rescue her from a sadistic killer known only as Yellow.
