Helen I was drawn in by the fact it was filmed in Yorkshire, but didn't have high hopes but I really, really liked this. It starts slowly, which serves as a stark contrast to the violence to come, and gets very intense, very quickly. Tho not big budget the production values are outstanding, and it looks beautiful. The music is haunting, the cast is small and keeping the set/location small gives the house a claustrophobic feel. I'm not sure why people are saying it's "not really a zombie movie, it's a drama". Can there only be one kind of zombie movie? And there is enough zombie carnage in this for most people, surely. I have seen EVERY zombie film there is (ok most, not all) and this is very good - I found the undead rather unnerving, and the characters were flawed, sympathetic and believable. It required a bit more of the audience perhaps, but that is not a bad thing. It stayed with me long after it was over. Highly recommended.
alistairc_2000 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.
Jumpa1967 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¢
ihearthorrorfilm Before Dawn is about an estranged couple who go on a vacation to save their troubled relationship, but things goes awry when they find themselves under attack from the walking dead. The first half of this film is literally all mama/papa drama. I kept pulling up the movie on IMDb to make sure it was a horror movie and not a drama. After about 35 minutes of boring relationship drama, we see out first zombie. Once the scene with the zombie is over, it's back to more drama. The last 20 or so minutes of the film start to get a little interesting, but not enough to make up for the hour of boringness! Before Dawn is not really a horror at all, it's a full-blown drama with a couple zombies thrown in for substance. I think if you watched it going in, knowing that it was a drama and not expecting a horror, and then it would probably be pretty good. But since I only watch horror, I found it to be boring. Although the ending was kinda cool and the zombies were the spaz-iest zombies I've ever seen, still not enough to give this movie anything higher than a 4.Please like me on Facebook!
