Movie Reviews of Just Before Dawn
Movie Review: WOW!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never heard of this movie until last friday. After stumbling across it here on amazon, and reading the reviews, I bought it and watched it on Friday after work. I wanna say thanks to the reviewers who gave it a positive rating. This movie is a hidden gem!! I have to say it is now a favorite of mine. The acting WASN'T over the top, cheesy, or lame and the suspense was awesome. I recognized quite a few of the actors right off the bat. Alot of em have been in other movies and are really great actors in their roles.
Now I know where "Wrong Turn" (actually a good flick for nowadays horror crap) got some ideas from. This movie is pretty tense and the music is awesome. The location is excellent because a dark forest at night has got to be one of the scariest things I know. Sitting around a campfire where you can't see what's hiding in the woods but "they" can sure as hell see you! The skinny dip pond scene is pretty cool. Watch for the "shape" in the waterfall behind the half naked chick! I agree with some of the reviewers when they tell people to quit griping about the dvd. I thought it looked great! And I actually like a little bit grainy of a picture on these movies. It ads a little bit of creepiness to the flick.
I just can't believe (being a horror movie fanatic) that I missed this movie back when. It must of slipped thru the cracks at my local movie store back in the 80's. I swear I rented everything they had available in the horror section then. The only bad thing about watching this movie is now I wanna see more of the same. I wish they made more movies like this. I get so sick of the new horror crap these days.........oops did I say new? I meant I get so sick of the horror "remakes" these days, and the unoriginal PG13 so called horror they puke up, that I want the 70's and 80's blood , guts, and that thing called sex and nudity that all the horror flicks had.
Oh well, I guess i will watch this once a month and pray to the horror gods that someone will make some ORIGINAL crazy ass horror again. My definition of a great horror movie (if you disagree i'm cool with that) is when you watch it and go "holy $h*t that could really happen. A movie that sucks you in and makes you think about it for weeks after you see it. A scary movie doesn't have to always happen at night with thunder and lightning. How about someone coming home from work at 5 in the afternon, open their front door, and standing in the middle of their living room is some freak of nature ready to tear their ass up for no apparent reason. Could happen, probably has happened, scary sh*t in my book.
Anyways, this movie is definatley great for the collection and could be viewed forever in my opinion. Thanks again fellow reviewers for pointing me towards this awesome movie.
Summary of Just Before Dawn
Five youths set out for a weekend camping excursion, to drink, frolic and skinny-dip on an isolated piece of land one of them has inherited. Despite ominous warnings of local forest Rangers, strange backwoods families and a hollering drunken hunter claiming to have witnessed his friends? evisceration by the hands of "DEMONS", they trek farther into the foliage. Beautifully shot, extremely eerie, featuring the most demented murderer since Jason Voorhees, and a horrifying twist that will make you wonder...Will any of them survive those dark hours JUST BEFORE DAWN?Similar DVD Movies
