Dawn of the Beast

I enjoyed the film.

The "other" creatures people talk about are also Wendigo. If you missed that, you weren't paying attention. The story was well done, as it explained everything, didn't leave any loose ends. Dialogue could have been improved, but wasn't bad, just very typical of character archetypes.

Anyone rating this under a 7 probably hasn't watched many low budget movies. This is extremely well done for no budget.

The start feels rough with bad acting/unbelievable characters but I felt like it ultimately payed off so hang in there. Sure there are alot of missed opportunities to be funny or scary, perhaps from the low budget, but its still unique and fun. Worth a watch, good cinematography. Acting got better as it went on. I enjoyed it as a fun B movie, alot better than most of what passes for horror these days!!

Very, very basic horror movie with too much ideas and ambitions and not enough money nor competence. There is too many different monsters which make the result very messy. They probably had not enough money so they shot most of the movie indoors or in the woods, especially in the woods in the night. The result is not scary, just very messy and somehow bizarre. The movie could be way better if the authors focused on just one storyline, instead of trying to build multiple lines that even do not connect at times. It feels more like a mashup of at least two different movies, maybe even three movies at the same time. As a whole this simply does not work, because it jumps here and there. In the end it is confusing but not scary.

I didn't find the movie exactly terrible. And it was better than the generic paint-by-numbers cheap horror movies that get put out. But it was missing something that could have turned it into a cult classic.

Just too many things were smashed into the plot, but without it ever becoming a mash-up. There's a fight at the climax that shows that maybe someone WANTED to do that; be a bit of a horror-comedy genre-bending romp. Perhaps the next flick from this writer will hit that mark.

Camerawork was all right, but kinda distracting. The acting was mediocre. The only character I liked died, but at least the character who lived had a progression arc.

The movie is subpar, in my opinion, but it's also still mostly watchable. Ostensibly about the Sasquatch, it brings in the Wendigo, and I enjoy that the movie touched on other mythologies.

It kills time well enough, and could be fun as a party/drinking movie.

Low budget (which is legit) but it was not coherent all the way.

Didn't like it.
