Dead by Dawn

For a lower budgeted movie it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Half the time I'm left wondering what the heck is going on. And why they had the actors doing some of the things they were.

For a low budget film this is excellent: Some strong writing and excellent performances especially from Jamie Bernadette and Bo Burroughs - two actors to watch out for in other up and coming movies. There is some subtle comic relief skillfully provided by Timothy Muskatell.

The filming location is in a beautiful area of California called Pine Mountain, which provides a fantastic backdrop to the story.

Music by Mario Salvucci is an added bonus for this film with excellent sound and editing.

Horror movies are not my preferred genre, but ones that have some intelligence and psychological basis in the writing make for dramatic content. The unnerving underlying theme of The Little Red Ridiing Hood, the lead character played by Drew Lindsey Mitchell, provides the horror of an innocent nursery story character thrown into a world of adult male perverseness and cruelty. To survive she has to learn to be the wolf.

Good action drama worth watching. Don't watch it alone - the wolf might be at the door:)

A valiant attempt at a gripping thriller despite the obvious low budget.

Badly-acted film with over-acting and childish script. Pathetic characters with terrible filming that is low-quality and it is typical of under-budget wanna-be actors who are clueless about having a clue about anything. Either the actors funded this effort themselves and whoever wasn't in the scene did the filming, or they got their kids to 'chip in'.

It's a little on the low budget side, but I liked it. Acting was good especially the bad guys. It was creepy enough to keep my attention. Worth a watch.
