Demons at Dawn

Demons At Dawn is a lot of fun. The cinematography and the sound design are tight. The dialogue and plot of the script is good. There were a few things I felt needed tightening, but overall, these issues are forgivable. Every actor did a fine job and you could see that they were all having a great time making the movie, which adds to the viewing enjoyment.

My favourite performance was from Chris Sanders (the screenwriter and producer) in his role as Levi Saracen. He is very convincing as a cool, cold-hearted mediator between the cult and the victims.

The build-up toward the supernatural, climactic ending worked well.

Although the film is dressed up as fictional entertainment about the supernatural, it addresses real worldwide criminal behaviour in a careful manner. So, it has the potential beyond its entertainment value to encourage dialogue and awareness among viewers.

I am strongly convinced that Chris Sanders, Randy Kent, and all of the team involved in this are talents to keep your eye on because they show promise for great things to come.

So, grab some popcorn, get Demons At Dawn loaded on your favourite streaming platform, don't be judgmental, and enjoy this film for what it is: an indie-horror fun-ride!!

Indie movies are so much fun. A few years back they were often grainy and amateurish. That has all changed in the last five years. Most are so well-filmed, edited, directed, and the acting is so good that they are often better than the productions coming out of the Hollywood movie machines. They are way more creative, and each actor is so invested that they are a joy to watch. I have one criticism of almost all current indie films. It is difficult to find a real story line. They are beautiful, well-acted scenes just hooked together. So that is what you end up watching. Demons at Dawn breaks away from that tunnel-vision trap. It is easy to see what is going on in a linear fashion so that It follows a real storyline. Five minutes into the film, I noticed how well-written it is. It is a most enjoyable film with many highly comic points and excellent effects as our protagonist, fraught with addictions and co dependencies, tries to cancel out his humongous gambling debt in one fell swoop..oh my..he gets a bit side-tracked by scary ?, ?, and ? Wonderful job by all involved! I am fond of many of the actors as I have watched them in other indie works. Good stuff! Entertaining!

Again, this is a movie that lives off its FEW reviews, hiking the numbers up. It is clearly not a 5.8 (at the time of writing) and will continue to go down.

It is a passable movie in all respect, but there are choices in directing, design and writing that puts it just under "ok".

You can tell that this was a passion project for many of those involved, but to call it a "masterpiece" is to give it too much credit.

Th effectwork is plugin-based and the makeup is... I mean, it is interesting, but certainly nothing to write home about.

You can safely give this one a miss, as it is nothing much.

Right, well I figured that I would be in for a horror movie, as I sat down to watch the 2022 movie "Demons at Dawn". Actually, I hadn't heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn't know what I was in for. But given the movie's cover and it's title, then I figured it would be a horror movie.

Turns out that I was in for a snoozefest of a movie, and there was actually nothing worthwhile to behold here. Needless to say that I didn't stick around to finish watching the movie. I just simply found no enjoyment in the storyline from writer Chris Sanders.

The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, when you take into consideration that the actors and actresses had very little to work with in terms of script, storyline, characters and dialogue. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. Nor can I can say that I was impressed with what I saw.

Visually then you're not in for anything grand here, should you opt to sit down and watch director Randy Kent's 2022 movie "Demons at Dawn".

My rating of "Demons at Dawn" lands on a generous two out ten stars.

Director Randy Kent (THE PERFECT HOUSE 2012) ,BLOOD TULIPS fails upon establishing anything that is entertaining nor suspenseful as the majority of the film basically has Sander and a lone female(rising British Scream Queen] Amber Doig Thorne (WINNIE THE POOH:BLOOD AND HONEY,FANGED UP,MINACIOUS) having lengthy talky scenes inside of a remote countryside side and nothing else more as it all leads to a grim finale that leaves the door open for a sequel(which is unlikely to ever happen) with the cast doing what they can to salvage this film, which is basically the celluloid version of a Pet Rock in terms of entertainment values. With a quick guest appearance by (modern British Scream Queen) Dani Thompson (AXE TO GRIND,MY BLOODY BANJO,VIDEO SHOP TALES OF TERROR). Crystal J. Huang (AMITYVILLE BIGFOOT,AMBER ROAD,BERMUDA ISLAND),and Amy DiLorenzi(PILLOW PARTY MASSACRE).
