The Dawn

Recipe for The Dawn, 2019:

Take lackluster to downright outrageously poor acting (across an entire cast), toss in a highly mediocre script and badly conceived plot, and season liberally with a soundtrack that is supposed to make everything feel epic, but only serves to make it comical. Mix in a few overdone horror tropes, but be sure to do them badly. Ta-da! Serve cold and don't expect a tip. One of the worst horror movies in the religion horror genre ever made. (And this is coming from someone who enjoys B horror movies, especially when they feature a creepy nun or evil church theme.) The only saving grace in this movie was a few scenes with the ageless and beautiful Stacy Dash (she still looks 25 - now THERE'S a story worth telling!). Skip this movie and watch literally ANYTHING else. By the way, the positive reviews here are shills.

Terrible acting, hard to follow plot, large sections of nothing happening. At the beginning of the movie I literally thought to myself "this must be some B movie footage that the characters in the real movie are watching. They'll cut to the actual movie soon" ...but the cut never came. The movie remained bad for another 90 minutes. I'd avoid this one

I don't know what you guys were watching but this was just horrible. I watch indie movies constantly and this is one of the worst I've ever seen. Awful script, wooden performances and slow as F. Just skip this one, seriously.

Wish the end was the beginning so no one would have to watch this badly written movie with laughable acting and pointless scenes! Should have guessed anything with B movie Stacey dash would be horrible!!!

2/10 🌠🌠 = SACRIFICE From the start hearing the cheesy opening music over the credits and the first scenes audio sounding like the actors were speaking into a bottle was enough for me to cringe and realize I wouldn't be watching the totality of this film, Combined with the lack of Sfx and the horrible acting skills of the guy who plays the psychotic father with PTSD in the first 10 mins. was just too overwhelming to overcome. Stacey Dash or not this one is a hard pass.
