Also, here’s an article where Clive Barker talks about Dread. Along with the review posted below, anyone else seriously excited for this film?
During this second part of Bloody-Disgusting’s exclusive interview with Clive Barker, we got some updates on the next BOOKS OF BLOOD adaptations from Seraphim. We’ll start off with DREAD, which Barker tells us is in the final stages of editing. “I’ll see something close to a final cut very soon,” Barker tells Bloody-Disgusting. “This started as a spec script by Anthony DiBlasi who came in as an intern to Seraphim six years ago. We try our best to advance people to where they want to go and Anthony is, to me, the definitive success story. Here’s a guy who, six years on from joining the company, has written and directed his first movie. And he’s done a fucking brilliant job.”
“[DREAD] is about experimenting on other people by using their phobias and fears and seeing at what point they become mad,” says Barker. “It’s our dread of madness, our dread of enclosed spaces. It’s one of the few stories I ever wrote which has no supernatural content, but it is vicious.”
Vegans and health nuts may want to stay clear of DREAD, warns Barker: “A vegetarian girl is locked up in a room and the only thing she has to eat is a piece of mutton. There’s a piece of mutton in the middle of the floor, water and that’s it. She has the choice – she eats the mutton and lives or she doesn’t. Each day that time passes, the mutton gets [more and more] rotten and the flies get in there and it becomes a more difficult choice.”
Barker says he is quite pleased with DiBlasi’s translation of the material, particularly for his first project as both writer and director. “DiBlasi has done a superb job of mounting the tension into an eruption of incredible violence,” Barker tells BD.
