good movie

This is a pretty good movie with excellent acting, a fairly good twist at the end and some sharp dialogue. My only criticism is that I think there were too many sex scenes that slowed the movie down. I saw the movie on HBO and it is definitely one of the best of their straight to video selections.

For low budget, it was one of the best films for your money.

The acting was pretty good. The script was excellent and inventive with some classic lines. Even though it was low budget, you have to give the writer/producer credit here, he worked miracles with very little finance. The genre has been done many times before but not with such style and grace.

would like to see a prequel/sequel

I would like to see a sequel showing how Don and Wendy are now living their lives with all the insurance money, they are most likely constantly making love in various places in the world.

Also how their affair started and how they plotted to have Kim killed and set up Tim in the process.

I think a sequel would be a good idea with flashbacks of everything that happened before this film.

Cos I must admit that this was a decent film for a drama thriller and one of Shannon Tweed's most well acted work since ever, and at this age Shannon still looks very hot for her age so I would like to see what is happening in the characters' lives now and also how it all started.

Well wrought morality tale

I expected an entertaining "B" movie, and got much more -- believable characters, down-to-earth dialogue, and a plot twist that genuinely caught me off guard. I find refreshing any film with an atypical hero -- in this case, an ordinary nice guy who could be your next door neighbor, His insecurities and temptations feel familiar and understandable. It's no wonder critics quibbled pointlessly over whether "Dead by Dawn" borrowed from "Consenting Adults." A more honest response might arouse uncomfortably close-to-home feelings about how any one of us, at any time, could face temptations more dangerous than we realize. As a morality tale, this film is far more effective than most I've seen (e.g., by comparison, the not-very-believable "Unfaithful.")

last of a dying breed

Why don't they make movies like this anymore? What happened to B-movies, to erotic thrillers? Dead by Dawn is not a great movie, but it is a competently made, low budget thriller that Hollywood used to make and doesn't anymore.

There is a scene in this movie that is so beautifully photographed and so evocative of film noir that I was blown away. It is the scene, shot at night by the pool, where the main character sneaks into a house via the pool area to have sex with a woman he has wanted for a long time. This is classic stuff. The main character looks a little like Robert Mitchum, and the nighttime shot is lit expertly and beautifully.

Another writer has said that this movie is a ripoff of Consenting Adults with Kevin Kline. There are obvious parallels, but it is far from a rip off.

Trivia
In the scene where Shannon Tweed is making love on the counter, the rear view is a body double. There's a mole on the person's right hip that's not visible in any shots showing a rear view of Shannon Tweed .
