Dead Before Dawn 3D

Being the big zombie aficionado that I am, I had to watch this one as well, even though I knew it was most likely not going to be a great experience. And true enough, it didn't really turn out to be anything interesting. Perhaps if you were a kid and watched this, you would find it to be interesting.

There is something very Nickelodeon to this movie, but then the movie does make use of some inappropriate language which had me at a loss here, because I thought this movie was meant to be for kids.

The acting performances were as to be expected from a movie of this sort. Most memorable in my opinion was, without a doubt of course, Christopher Lloyd, despite only having a small role in the movie.

It should be said that for a movie of this type, then the movie did make good use of effects without being gory and extreme. The zombies, well zemons (half zombies, half demons), as they call them, were more hilarious than then were scary.

This movie is a kids movie and doesn't offer much for an adult audience. As for the 3D effects, well that is a subject better left untouched.

After accidentally unleashing a strange curse, a group of friends find their small college town overrun by a swarm of vicious, demon-possessed zombies and must try to fend off the creatures before the true nature of the curse reveals itself threatening all of humanity.

This was a surprising amount of fun and really had a lot of great points about it. One of the best points of this one is that it manages to introduce a rather novel concept here for not only getting the group set up but also unleashing the curse. The opening here going around offering a fine introduction to their plight while in college offering up the trouble with their classes and assignments while also looking to continue engaging in clandestine romantic engagements serves as a great way to get to know who they are. This works well enough as a lighter teen-comedy to then introduce the horror in the form of the possession angle by featuring the curse causing everyone around them to commit suicide before becoming among the horde of ravenous undead. Also, it changes around several big cues in their behavior according to this new concept of fueling their ranks which makes for a pretty fun time throughout as this manages a few pretty original and rather inventive concepts. These not only give the film a rather nice amount of action throughout but also give some rather impressive comedic chops here that are wholly welcome in this so it's got a rather funny air about it at times. Even without the comedy, though, there's enough action here to be truly enjoyable and still maintains that kind of silly tone to where the jokes and physical humor can work with the more serious themes which is well handled with the ability to keep the creatures as threats throughout so they're still something to be feared instead of a joke that doesn't warrant the kind of extreme behavior they undergo in trying to keep themselves out of harm's way. These are generally quite fun with the first scenes involving the group discovering the curse has taken place with encounters involving the friends at the football game, the realization that the mother has been caught up in everything, and a confrontation while trying to escape in a motorhome out of the city. Given that these manage to mix together a kind of comedic failing-upwards slacker mentality consistent with the tone and rest of the action featured but also keep them still keeps things interesting as the quest-like storyline structure to find a curse makes everything feel tense throughout, these all go a long way to make the film effective. For all the fun it has, there are still some problems with this one. The main drawback to the film is the fact that it features the utterly annoying trope of having the finale make everything completely useless and renders the film a complete wash. It had already done fine with the original ending presented here, yet the fact that it adds on another makes for quite a frustrating ending since it comes off as a total cliché on its own right before the fact that it tacks on needless bits on the running time. Also, some of the jokes and attempts at re-writing the zombie rule book that it presents here do cause this to come off as a little amateurish when it really shouldn't be, not offering enough to make the changes worthwhile, and getting in select humor that might not appeal to all. These here aren't up to knock off the positives so it makes for a rather fun time all around.

Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

This movie is very silly, which is not a compliment. Silly in the context of comedy is great for a zany slapstick spoof, but this movie is apparently trying (and mostly failing) to be a more restrained tongue-in-cheek sendup. The intended tone is evidently more Zombieland than Scary Movie, but the execution is more Scooby Doo than either. The goofiness of the presentation, together with some too-convenient script shortcuts, quickly becomes tedious. Even the great Christopher Lloyd gives a gratingly cartoonish performance. I also can't imagine what about this movie would warrant seeing its lackluster action and effects in 3D.

I didn't not expect that at all, I found this movie very funny a bit to funny and I laughing number of times this movie, yes some of it seem silly at times but very funny.

I loved the plots of the movie, great idea spoof Zombie and Demon

The plot: a group of kids unleash a horrible zombie-demon ("zemon") curse on a small town. Everyone who makes eye contact with the kids kills themselves and comes back as a zemon, bent on killing the kids by giving them hickeys

It; was really fun and very enjoyable fast moving movie and really enjoyed how come people kill them self in this movie before they turn into Zemons.

Some of kills scenes is movie were very funny in this movie and there few splatters moment in this movie as well but I think could done more gory deaths thought then they were.

The acting was really decent, It hard to tell if they pretend to play dump in some scene.

I wasn't really happy how the movie came to a end, it kind of feel bit cheated by and in the last scene of the movie is very predicable

I enjoyed most of the movie before the 10 minutes I may I rated higher but it still get decent 6 out of 10

"Everything we said at the shop is actually happening! Whoever we make eye contact with is gonna kill themselves, then come back as zemons and kill us...via hickeys" Casper Galloway (Bostick) is a teenager who is very shy and jumpy due to what happened to him as a kid. When his grandfather (Lloyd) asks him to watch his store he is very afraid. After a group of kids from school show up Casper tries to kick them out until an urn breaks, thinking the warnings are a joke they begin to come up with ideas of what a curse would be. Then they realize its not a joke at all. This is a very very funny movie, but it is mainly stupid humor. I really liked it and laughed a lot but I don't think everyone will find it as funny as I did. For example the plot of the movie involves being killed by getting a hickey from a half zombie-half demon. The writing is funny and the acting is good for a movie like this. There really isn't much else to say about this other then if you like movies with humor like Anchorman and Shaun Of The Dead then you will like this as well. Overall, very funny but not for everyone...also hearing Christopher Lloyd say "Great Scott" was amazing. I give it a B.
