    good movie

    This is a pretty good movie with excellent acting, a fairly good twist at the end and some sharp dialogue. My only criticism is that I think there were too many sex scenes that slowed the movie down. I saw the movie on HBO and it is definitely one of the best of their straight to video selections.

    For low budget, it was one of the best films for your money.

    The acting was pretty good. The script was excellent and inventive with some classic lines. Even though it was low budget, you have to give the writer/producer credit here, he worked miracles with very little finance. The genre has been done many times before but not with such style and grace.

    scary movie

    This movie rocks. Dead by Dawn is beautifully photographed and is one of the most intelligent thrillers that I have seen on HBO. I highly recommend this movie. Shannon Tweed is a surprisingly good actress as is Cassandra Gava.

    Shannon Tweed gives her best performance

    Dead By Dawn is a neat little thriller. Shannon Tweed, the queen of B-movies, has probably never given a better performance than she does in this story of a basically good man duped into an insurance scheme and murder by his old high school buddy. This film has surprisingly excellent acting, including strong performances by Jodie Fisher and Cassandra Gava. There is loads of atmosphere and suspense and unlike most straight to video Shannon Tweed movies, Dead By Dawn is really a complex, tightly written thriller.

    A tense thriller that combines morality, cops, sex, and greed

    I think this is undoubtedly Shannon Tweed's best film performance. It's a serious role with real acting skill displayed. The other actors are less known but are cast well. The dialogue was especially interesting, combining moral themes and the genre of sex/cop thriller. Anybody who likes "Law & Order" or other tightly written TV series will enjoy seeing this film. It's probably pretty low budget, but compared to a lot of the slick, expensive, but meaningless stuff out there, it's a solid film.
