Campfire Dead by Dawn

This film should be burned. There is not 1 redeeming factor. Bad script. Bad lighting. Terrible acting. Bad sound. The list goes on. I understand this is at night but so dark. They did not make any of the characters likable so i really did not care when any of them died. The music gave me a headache. The acting is some of the worse i have ever seen. It boggles the mind how easy it is for some of this slop to make it to places like tubi. I love tubi. Ii was super sad when they no longer show four in a bed but it is awesome. You just need to be careful because they have some truly awesome movies... to this.

Lets start off with the brilliant writing on this film! Its terrifying just imagine to yourself in those woods alone with a mask killer that doesn't stop! The story keeps going none stop that had my heart. Pumping from beginning to end. I love independent horror movies and commercial. But this one i will recommend horror fans to see and put on their watchlist for sure. (Devon) is an awesome writer far as i can see with his. Previous films. This is a real campfire tale of horror with unforgettable characters that we will care about for sure. I wonder when will the book come out on this? I see it says based upon a short story in the beginning credits.

Terror Vision Pictures have been releasing the best horror in the indie scene! And campfire dead by Dawn is a great film for sure. Devon Commons as the writer and director of these films is such a great writer and hope for more horror films from this studio terror Vision Pictures. 'my house' was based on Ed Kemper story and I thought that movie was okay in terms of the music in it and some actors killed it but some didn't. Woods fever the first film (Devon Commons) produce was a dark suspense horror with great characters in development for sure. I recommend this writer/producer to anyone that loves great horror like myself for sure .

You'd think one who would take the time to produce and invest the money into making a feature-length movie would at least have the wherewithal to realize they are shooting the movie in Log mode, which produces a white filmy layer over the footage in order to color correct the movie with one single click of the mouse ... but yeah, no.. this filmmaker apparently does not even know what Log mode is, the mode he shot it in, nor that all the footage can be dramatically, vastly improved literally, with a single click of mouse.

This film is terrible, and neatly summarizes many of the young independent filmmakers that we have today who are producing this really, really awful stuff for streaming platforms, platforms that do not even care what it is they are streaming to people, at all. This movie and literally almost every independent horror movie today is sanitized, ultra-formulaic, juvenile, banal, poorly conceived and written and of very low quality.

I mean.. to shoot an entire movie in a mode that is designed for "one-click" color correction, and not even know it? Wow. Hard to believe, actually. Independent movies have never, ever been as bad as this stuff they are making today. Never. It's an all-time low. Add to this the fact that they are all ignoring what they audience actually wants, and what we have today a big soupy mess of horrifically bad, filmmaking drivel.

I don't know who the other two reviewers are, but I have my suspicions that they are friends, family or actors in the film. The first thing I noticed was a rather good-sized dirt spot on the lens in the beginning of the film, and it re-appeared again during the ending scenes in the field. I'm just surprised the cameraman didn't notice it and clean it.

They tried to give this film a soundtrack. The chosen music was a blend (to me, at least) of new age and light rock. Audio levels varied all over the place.

The script itself might have been workable, but there were some serious gaps in continuity as some real wooden acting as well.

To be fair, the film had some good scenes and gore effects as well, but all-in-all, I would recommend that it be re-edited, maybe some scenes re-shot and the audio/music fixed.
