The world is chock full of thriller films that miss the mark, fortunately for us, the viewers ever in search of our next thriller fix, Kin Dread does not miss.
This film, directed by Adrian Leon and written by he and Steven Clayton, is right on target to keep you putting the pieces of the puzzle together... only to find out in its final scenes that key pieces may have been overlooked early on.
From a technical perspective, the cinematography, lighting, and sound are spot on. All three aspects are well incorporated into scenes that may very well leave you as they did me... feeling like I've been in similar scenes in my own life experience. You may know it as well... that feeling you can only get at dusk in the desert, or in the middle of an awkward moment with another person where neither of you can immediately find the right words to redirect an unspoken, yet obvious misinterpretation.
The majority of the actors in Kin Dread turned in performances that made their characters believable, especially those of Winters (Ethan Smart), Alan (Patrick Cupo) , and Jane (Elinor Gunn). These actors didn't just have to "feel" the script, they had to communicate it, and they did it well.
Kin Dread is an Indie thriller worthy of your undivided attention.
