Dead Before Dawn 3D

Dead Before Dawn turned out to be a good Zombie film. The movie tries to be real cute pointing out how stupid some horror plots can be by coming up with a real stupid one. Although technically a good Zombie movie does not need an explanation to why Zombies exist, especially if you have a good gang of characters in the movie which this one does. I noticed a Former Power Ranger playing the best friend of the main character. Christopher Lloyd is in the picture for a small while giving a decent comedic performance. I guest the best part of the movie is that it gave us the Zemon, a half Demon half Zombie hybrid. I doubt it's going to be a contender for the next big horror movie monster, but it was a funny idea. Dead before Dawn is nothing to write home to your mother about but it was a fun 90mins for me. I almost wish I lived in Canada so I could have seen it in 3D.

This movie is very silly, which is not a compliment. Silly in the context of comedy is great for a zany slapstick spoof, but this movie is apparently trying (and mostly failing) to be a more restrained tongue-in-cheek sendup. The intended tone is evidently more Zombieland than Scary Movie, but the execution is more Scooby Doo than either. The goofiness of the presentation, together with some too-convenient script shortcuts, quickly becomes tedious. Even the great Christopher Lloyd gives a gratingly cartoonish performance. I also can't imagine what about this movie would warrant seeing its lackluster action and effects in 3D.

"Everything we said at the shop is actually happening! Whoever we make eye contact with is gonna kill themselves, then come back as zemons and kill us...via hickeys" Casper Galloway (Bostick) is a teenager who is very shy and jumpy due to what happened to him as a kid. When his grandfather (Lloyd) asks him to watch his store he is very afraid. After a group of kids from school show up Casper tries to kick them out until an urn breaks, thinking the warnings are a joke they begin to come up with ideas of what a curse would be. Then they realize its not a joke at all. This is a very very funny movie, but it is mainly stupid humor. I really liked it and laughed a lot but I don't think everyone will find it as funny as I did. For example the plot of the movie involves being killed by getting a hickey from a half zombie-half demon. The writing is funny and the acting is good for a movie like this. There really isn't much else to say about this other then if you like movies with humor like Anchorman and Shaun Of The Dead then you will like this as well. Overall, very funny but not for everyone...also hearing Christopher Lloyd say "Great Scott" was amazing. I give it a B.

A bunch of college kids accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, also known as Zemons! Apparently this received mixed and negatives reviews from the critics, even the regular horror folks (Dread Central and Bloody Disgusting). I have to say I liked it more than they did, and while it may not have had much originality, it had some good jokes -- did no one appreciate the "Wicker Man" joke? And, of course, just having Christopher Lloyd in such a prominent role makes this worth watching, in my opinion. He was great, probably the best comedy role he has had in many years.

First ~ this movie is ridiculous, like, not even slap stick humor. It's silly and gross and knows it. It was almost as fun as Zombieland... but not quite... but almost. If you can handle the deliberate campiness, it's fun. I laughed all the way through. Each character played their part quite well. The creators knew what this was and rolled with it and I think pulled it off. A bunch of fun.
