Dawn of the Beast

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

Didn't like it.

At last, from all the dross cheap horror comes a fun, well-acted, well-scripted horror film. It is probably 1 out of every 20 of these cheap independent films worth watching. This is a good, fun romp. It has good characters, gory practical effects, fun moments, people you like, and a beginning, middle and a good end(someone survives) and no attempt to push a sequel.

I liked it, which I thought I wouldn't but glad I kept watching. Well worth the watch.

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.
