Based on a short story in Clive Barker's Books of Blood collection, Dread marks the directorial debut of producer Anthony DiBlasi, who had previously worked with other Barker adaptations such as The Midnight Meat Train and Book of Blood. I went in expecting very little from the film, and despite its many flaws it kept my interest.

Legion is a film that I've been greatly anticipating since I read the premise years ago, and the 5-minute restricted trailer only fueled my anticipation. With promises of action, badass characters and a possible epic battle between angels -- how could it go wrong? Hmm... Well, how 'bout the script? Although Legion isn't exactly a movie you see for the story, when you're thrown several plot-holes and a lack of character development, it becomes clear early on that the filmmakers were trying way too hard to make a badass movie and totally forgot about having any sort of proper storyline to go along with it.

The premise couldn't get any simpler -- God has lost faith in humankind and decides to just wipe everyone out. Instead of doin' the ol' flood thing again, he decides to send forth an army of angels to do the dirty work. Amidst the chaos a pregnant woman is close to giving birth to a child whom will somehow be the "savior of mankind". Thus, legions of angels set forth to kill the woman, but have to go through the Archangel Michael and his arsenal of weapons first.

This is a film that I've been curious about for a while now, as I've always been a fan of the classic Edgar Allan Poe story. The flick adds a modern-day twist to the tale, which sadly didn't really amount to much, as it turned out to be a fairly mediocre movie in the end.
