The Dawn

The movie wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. I Mean i went in thinking it was going to be the worst thing ever but the cast was pretty entertaining. It was just so damn boring and there was nothing scary about it. It could have been such a better movie if they didn't do anything but talk and scream the whole damn time. And you never quite know what they are screaming about! They didn't even show how anyone died. And the ending....so what exactly happened to Carmen? Are we supposed to guess? I can't believe i even watched it to the end. I seriously fast forwarded through the scenes to actually see where it was going and it seemed like i was fast forwarding through the same thing over and over. All they did was scream and shout which was pretty annoying! And the lesbians were driving me nuts! They kept touching each other.It was so annoying. I mean don't get me wrong i have nothing against lesbians since i myself am bi, but you don't have to be touching your girlfriend every 5 secs. And it wasn't even like sexual or anything. Plus one of the girls Spanish was so thick you could hardly understand her. Not to mention the only time they didn't touch was when you wanted them to! It was a waste of time but it just irks me that this had potential if you actually had a plot.

If you are like me, you have bee to Blockbuster or any other video rental and have seen movies such as this on the shelf numerous times. These movies are terrible, but we keep renting 'no name' horror movies for whatever our own reasons maybe. My own reason for renting these types of movies, is hoping that maybe there will be one movie in the mix that will surprise me and actually be decent. To my surprise and liking I find a gem every now and then. This was not one of those times. Do I blame the makers of these films? No i do not, nor do I think anyone else should blame them for us spending our money.These films have very small budgets ,I would imagine. So lets not be so judge mental on these guys that don't have 30,50,or $100 million dollar budgets; instead lets hope that one day these guys will be somebody and be able to make good movies. I'm sure these filmmakers don't want to make bad moves but they don't have the money to make what they would like. Thank You

I'm not big on reviews, but, for a horror movie it wasn't all that bad, from the beginning, to the end, I got a sense that college students were studying indigenous cultures, and wanted, to get a little more involved, with the class and went, to a farm out, of town nothing wrong with the plot, could've went through the scenes slower, and built in a little more suspense, it seemed like the scenes were rushed through, need to use the five senses going through the scenes, would've made the scenes seen more believable, besides that a tipikle low budget horror movie with actors, in their first movie roll. Good luck!

'The Dawn' didn't have an awful lot to go for it, other than the cool and creepy-looking cover. Being not completely grabbed by the concept and not being a fan of the style of camera-work employed in the film, a feeling made worse when officially diagnosed as an epileptic six years ago. Watched it anyway as someone out of curiosity and who is oddly intrigued by low budget horror and didn't want to watch it with any bias. Have seen a lot of rubbish ones for a while now, but there are those that do overcome their budget limitations and are watchable films.

It is sad to say that 'The Dawn' is not one of those. Don't be fooled by the creepiness of the cover, this is a dreadful film in every way in my opinion. Saw no redeeming qualities at all and the flaws were more terrible than bad. Of the low budget horrors and film seen recently, 'The Dawn' is a strong contender for the worst. It is among the worst films of its type. It is also down there as one of the worst films overall again recently seen, as well as ever. Have seen some awful films in my life but there are not many of those that made me wonder what was going on the entire duration of the film or wonder whether there is even any kind of plot. Felt both of those things watching 'The Dawn', which is one of the worst examples for both.

Hard to know where to begin criticising 'The Dawn'. The camera work is nauseating throughout and completely lacks slickness, often it makes what is going on on screen very confusing and sometimes incomprehensible. Am not a fan of rap, which has never felt like music to me, and 'The Dawn' did nothing to make me change my mind, actually found myself hating it even more after the film finished.

Cannot say much better about the script. Consider it one of the worst assets actually, being one of the most non-existent and incoherently structured scripts known to mankind and that is when you can actually hear it. Detected very little story here in 'The Dawn' and felt misled when reading the concept in the summary here. The film is just so uneventful and the pace is deadly dull throughout, due to having pointless scenes going on for too long. It felt like the film was being made up on the spot, except everyone involved had no experience in it and executed it terribly.

Did not find myself investing in the characters at all, very little personality and another thing that distracted me throughout was the way the characters behaved in either decision making or towards each other, made them near-detestable. The chemistry between them is very stilted and the acting gave off the vibe that the actors were picked up from the street and co-erced into doing the film. Yet not knowing what to do and constantly forgetting lines.

Overall, dreadful in every way. 1/10

To be fair, I only watched an hour of this flick. To really be fair, whoever made this piece of camcorder crap should refund my money I paid Blockbuster. I should charge them for having to sit through an hour of this "horror movie".....

Well, in the hour I did see......there was a scene in a classroom, with all of the students being 20 something Z list actors. The dialogue was laughable.....then there was a scene where they find a dead body in the school (everyone screams and then walks away).....then they decide to go to the teachers house so they can perform a sacrifice (?)...they get to the house....the lesbians get undressed and lay around on their bed.....one gets dream raped by the teacher (?)....two go into the woods to smoke pot....that was about it for me......Just a bunch of crappy dialogue you cannot hear half of the time and crappy rap music with mexicans screaming/chanting over it........

Maybe the last 15 minutes or so that I did not see were kick ass.......Seriously doubt it.....AVOID AVOID AVOID......makes the acting in Children of the Living Dead seem like Oscar worthy performances.
