College students accidentally break an evil urn, unleashing a curse that causes everyone who makes eye contact with them to kill themselves and turn into zombies.

The game cast commits to the lame-o material but it's a losing battle from the jump.

Rated: 2/5

For fans in the mood for a movie that proudly delivers silly humor, and some great direction, it's serviceable.

Dead Before Dawn 3D is a fun concept that embraces the comedic side of horror, but relies too heavily on quirky silliness to actually balance the comedy and horror properly.

Rated: 5/10

I mean the clothing and way some of the characters talk instantly make this film dated and it could of done with a bit bigger of a budget but overall it is a serviceable horror comedy.

Honestly i watched this movie when I was 13 and i have loved it forever and now I'm 15 still watching this movie 29 times cause of it's awesome humor and acting it's all very hilarious if you ask me but I love this movie no matter what anybody thinks. I hope they get to make a sequel of Dead Before Dawn and I hope it comes out soon. But honestly all the actors/characters are all deeply loved by my heart and if anyone asks me what my first favorite horror/Zombie movie is... it's this one

So awkward to watch. Everything is bad in Dead Before Dawn, but the performances are so bad it stands out, even in something like this.

A group of college students enter a witchcraft store, inadvertently breaking an item. They mock the idea of a curse, invoking a number of horror tropes. In doing so, they unleash zemons (zombie-demons) and several other terrors. A very funny film starring Kevin McDonald and Christopher Lloyd.
