The game cast commits to the lame-o material but it's a losing battle from the jump. Go to Full Review Chuck Wilson Village Voice 09/03/2013
Overlong but amusing ... Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 10/01/2013
For fans in the mood for a movie that proudly delivers silly humor, and some great direction, it's serviceable. Go to Full Review Matt Donato We Got This Covered 08/21/2013
5/10
Dead Before Dawn 3D is a fun concept that embraces the comedic side of horror, but relies too heavily on quirky silliness to actually balance the comedy and horror properly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Timothy R @RT70279466 Jul 29 Needs a SEIZURE WARNING. See more Jessica C @RT79182762 12/14/2024 This film is so bad my husband left his ex because of it. See more Oaklee D @ODie63 10/19/2024 I mean the clothing and way some of the characters talk instantly make this film dated and it could of done with a bit bigger of a budget but overall it is a serviceable horror comedy. See more 06/25/2021 Honestly i watched this movie when I was 13 and i have loved it forever and now I'm 15 still watching this movie 29 times cause of it's awesome humor and acting it's all very hilarious if you ask me but I love this movie no matter what anybody thinks. I hope they get to make a sequel of Dead Before Dawn and I hope it comes out soon. But honestly all the actors/characters are all deeply loved by my heart and if anyone asks me what my first favorite horror/Zombie movie is... it's this one See more 07/17/2019 So awkward to watch. Everything is bad in Dead Before Dawn, but the performances are so bad it stands out, even in something like this. See more 01/16/2017 A group of college students enter a witchcraft store, inadvertently breaking an item. They mock the idea of a curse, invoking a number of horror tropes. In doing so, they unleash zemons (zombie-demons) and several other terrors. A very funny film starring Kevin McDonald and Christopher Lloyd. See more Read all reviews
