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
It looks like someone got a camera for Christmas and decided to make a film. I always give independent horror movies a chance and too often I'm dealt a mess like this. Some effort in the editing room might have helped but this thing has so many issues that it wouldn't have helped much. Better luck next time.
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!!!
I have no issues if the actors are armature/unknown and the movie is low budget. But when the movie has no meaning and has no plot and when the actors perform so badly and when the movie is boring and dragging until the end, what more can I say.. Sadly I wasted 90 minutes of my life and can never get it back.
