I haven't tried the other Dread game.
The other Dread game, Dread: The First Pandemonium and its standalone counterpart, Spite: The Second Pandemonium, are both critically acclaimed d12 dice pool based splatterpunk games (note: the two games are set in the same universe and can be tied together). When the creator left rpgs, he was kind enough to leave both games and the supplements available for free.
Dread: The Pandemonium: Demons have invaded our world. They began by slaughtering the inhabitants of a small town and then another. Now, they have infiltrated human society and are trying to bring about Armageddon. The front line against them are individuals down on their luck, who have hit or almost hit rock bottom and whom have survived a demon attack after being rescued by a mysterious figure. The players are some of these survivors granted supernatural powers with which to hunt down the demons. However, there is a twist and not everything is as it seems.
One reviewer described it as Tarantino filming Clive Barker
Spite: The Second Pandemonium: Angels have descended upon earth to cleanse it by instituting God's plan before it is time. They not only eliminate those guilty of sin, they kill the innocent sending them to heaven. The players are supernatural warriors granted powers to hunt down these angels. One reviewer described it as In Nomine if written by Clive Barker
