Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012) Review by last_in_line from United States
I saw the trailer for this and it looked like a decent movie. Thereview at UHM says that this movie is an example of a movie whosetrailer is better than the movie itself. The trailer did it's job forme. I watched the movie. The movie itself wasn't that great.
This movie is what a horror movie would be like if Nickelodeon madehorror movies. Not that the language and content are squeaky clean oranything but the overall tone is quite silly which makes it hard totake the movie seriously.
There were a couple of chuckle moments for me in the dialoguedepartment but the idea of the movie falls flat. The zombie demons, or"zemons" as they call them, aren't trying to kill anyone which prettymuch tells you all you need to know.
Parts of the movie seem like they were written as sketch comedy showsegments. Although entertaining, it just made this movie not for me.
I give this movie a 4 out of 10 due to the few chuckles I had andChristopher Lloyd. If you're looking for a horror comedy on par withShawn of the Dead, look elsewhere.

The plot: a group of kids unleash a horrible zombie-demon ("zemon")curse on a small town. Everyone who makes eye contact with the kidskills themselves and comes back as a zemon, bent on killing the kids bygiving them hickeys. And the kids must race against the clock to breakthe curse before sunrise. Starring Christopher Lloyd for a couple ofscenes, Kevin McDonald in another couple of shots, Jimmy Fallon'scollege-age clone, and some other people you might recognize as havingbeen in that one thing filmed in Canada.
So you have a band of 30 and 20 somethings, that are supposed to beteenagers, in a film that appears to be targeted at adolescents. Whatcould go wrong? Well, here's the problem: the movie wants to be a lighthearted zombie comedy, but it's simply not funny. Lloyd and McDonaldare woefully underused and most of the jokes simply fall flat. There-are- a couple of chuckles to be had, but simply not enough to make themovie worth watching as a comedy. As a horror film the movie similarlyfalls flat; the whole premise of "kids get to narrate how their cursed,and decide to come up with a plague of monsters whose name rhymes with'semen'" kinda' kills any chance of people taking the movie seriouslyenough for it to be a horror film. There -are- a couple of potentiallyscary shot though, reminiscent of an early David Cronenberg perhaps,but there's not enough for the movie to work as a horror film either.
As for the production values themselves... we're talking shots wherenot-Fallon is talking to Lloyd on the phone, and Lloyd appears in alittle bubble as he talks into the phone. Overall the movie is betterthan that, with hints of a small budget, but how a stinker of an idealike that made it to print is beyond me. I've seen better production ona tweeny Nickelodeon show, which seems to be the film's desired targetdemographic.
If it weren't for all the people killing themselves, and droolingblood, and getting hacked up, I imagine most parents would be fineleaving their tweens to watch it. Personally though, I'd rather my kidswatch films like Shaun of the Dead, Fido or even Wasting Away insteadif they need a zom-com fix, because this movie would likely just end upmaking them feel insulted. Heck, House of the Dead makes for a betterzom-com, and it wasn't meant to be a comedy.
On the other hand, Brittany Allen as a blonde cheerleader was kinda'hot. So the film has that going for it.
Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012) Review by Paul Magne Haakonsen from Denmark
Being the big zombie aficionado that I am, I had to watch this one aswell, even though I knew it was most likely not going to be a greatexperience. And true enough, it didn't really turn out to be anythinginteresting. Perhaps if you were a kid and watched this, you would findit to be interesting.
There is something very Nickelodeon to this movie, but then the moviedoes make use of some inappropriate language which had me at a losshere, because I thought this movie was meant to be for kids.
The acting performances were as to be expected from a movie of thissort. 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 didmake good use of effects without being gory and extreme. The zombies,well zemons (half zombies, half demons), as they call them, were morehilarious than then were scary.
This movie is a kids movie and doesn't offer much for an adultaudience. As for the 3D effects, well that is a subject better leftuntouched.
