Review of Damned by Dawn (2009) by Joe A — 28 Dec 2010
A few spooky moments early on but, Austrailian horror is far too derivative of Raimi's Evil Dead films and far too obvious with it's cinematic touches too be taken as the serious horror it wants to be.
The CGI spooks are more laughable then scary and makes one ask the question why today's breed of filmamakers feel the need to do everything CGI when live effects would give a better result. Director Anstey must have also missed the class about Raimi pacing as Dawn moves very slowly for a flick under 90 minutes.
Even the climax is ho hum and silly.
