Before Dawn (2013)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Memorable, crazy movie

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Dominic Brunt's "Before Dawn" is a very different Zombie film. I can see many traditional Zombie fans being very disappointed with this little movie, but if something different is what you want, than Before Dawn is worth having a look at.It is a lower budget film, which has limited characters and very limited Zombies. This would have been a problem if the movie's main focus was Zombies, but it isn't. Its more of a human drama about broken relationships and the strain that outside influences can have on us. Brunt allows us as viewers, to invest time in these likable and realistic characters. The fact that there are only two or three zombies in the film isn't a negative, because it allows us to use our imagination when thinking of how big the Zombie epidemic is. That to me, is far more frightening than seeing it first hand. When the Zombie action happens, there is plenty of gore and brutality, so it is worth the wait. Just don't expect copious amounts of blood.Now, with all that aside. The real strength of the film comes from the phenomenal but grim ending. The very last picture of the film while the credits are rolling, will last with you for a long time. Just a truly haunting conclusion to what was a very impressive little British Horror film!

This is definitely worth a watch for anyone who enjoys the horror genre but finds mindless non stop action a bit tiring and monotonous. The film offers violence in a very cleverly measured way and ensures that its attention remains weighted to the story of the two main characters rather than getting carried away with the action and special effects (which are believable). This film does not disappoint in terms of gore if that's what you're after in horror, but it draws you into the characters' lives more than normal zombie films by keeping both the location and number of cast small, sticking to a storyline out with the apocalyptic plot and casting actors that can act. This all results in everything seeming more believable and in turn more horrifying.The original music score is very well suited to the film and each scene is assisted by a style of music which enhances the mood of the characters, scenes and film. I really enjoyed the good artistic blend of cinematography and music. Don't be put off by bad reviews. Give this film a shot and make up your own mind, just hit play with expectations of a solid story which has some zombies :-)

I had read the reviews absolutely trashing this movie on IMDb. Though I like low budget British horror films. So I thought I would watch this.Basically an estranged couple go for a weekend break. They decide to get away from it all.This movie is edgily shot. With bleak shots through out. The music is great. The characters are good. The lead male Brunt is a likable guy who is out of sorts with life. His estranged wife is this socially aloof woman who is more concerned with her position that being kind to her partner.As the movie develops the zombies attack. This is not World War Z so do not expect a 200 million dollar budget. There is plenty of gore. The movie is not without its problems but it rises above them. This makes it an original take on a crowded scene and for that it is recommended.

This movie is pretty good it. It starts out kinda slow as we get to know Alex and Meg and their marital problems. So they decide to go on a vacation or "Holiday" as we do not call it here in America As they try to sort out their troubles.Very little did they know that their troubles were miniscule in comparison to what awaits them in their very near future. I thought this was a nice & scary movie It does linger a bit in the beginning as it builds up to the first zombie encounter but it seems to do it perfectly making you sit on the edge of your seat waiting for it because you know it has to be coming soon , this approach is captivating and well executedThese zombies do not disappoint either. I can not figure out why it got a 3.6 rating on here It deserves so much more thats just off "BIG TIME" This movie should be an easy 7 Star rating. These are also the super fast zombies not the slow easy to kill lethargic ones.I can only hope for a part 2 this could be a very good series if done properly . So if you like scary zombie movies opposed to the comic relief ones This one will not disappoint you Thanks for reading my very first review ever !Just my 2¢
