Audience Member Kelcey Watson is the only actor in this that isn't unbearable. Dead by Dawn has got a pretty interesting (though not 100% original) concept to start from, but not the budget to execute it in an engaging way. Low- and no-budget films can still be great, but they have a much harder fight to struggle through to get to that point, and Dead by Dawn lost that fight. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It was really well done for a lower budgeted horror/thriller. Editing was tight and once the bad guys got into the house it was edge of your seat stuff. I would recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review steve d Surprisingly well acted (at least by the leads) and effectively emotional. The script lets down its actors as it struggles to build tension or do anything new with it's well worn subject. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member "Dead By Dawn" is a strong low budget thriller with plenty of suspense and thrills. The film starts off dark and with blunt force. It never really relinquishes. There is only a few moments where the story pauses for some character building, but soon the violence begins again. The acting is better than I expected. The cast seem to understand the characters and feel fully committed. There are a few scenes that waver close to amateurish, but it never really dampens the film's flow. Plus there is a strong female lead that impressively embraces the final girl banner. The horror is mostly built on dark circumstances, chilling atmosphere, and impending danger. There are some violent, bloody moments that sweeten the horror level. Still, "Dead By Dawn" manages to hold your attention purely on the relatable horrors of domestic violence, home invasion and some true psycho killers. I enjoyed this little indie film more than I thought I would. Check it out. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Is it ethical to rate a movie 5 stars because you're co-starring in it? No. Do I care? Also no. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Although you would expect some kind of a zombie movie, its just a "lets rape a girl, let her run away and fortify themselves in a strangers home" thing. The fighting and blood scene were poorly executed, the actors were incredibly cringy and annoying besides the savior guy. All in all was a watchable movie but can't really recommend it, seen worse though. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
