"Dead Before Dawn 3D" (2013) is a disappointing attempt at a horror-comedy that fails to deliver on its promise. Directed by April Mullen and written by Tim Doiron, the film follows the story of Casper Galloway (Devon Bostick), a college student who accidentally unleashes a curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, known as Zemons.
One of the major issues with "Dead Before Dawn 3D" is its lackluster script. The humor falls flat, with many jokes falling flat and failing to elicit genuine laughter. The characters are underdeveloped, with little depth or growth throughout the film. The action sequences are also poorly choreographed, with little tension or excitement.
The performances by the cast are mediocre at best. Devon Bostick, in particular, fails to bring any real energy or charisma to his role. The supporting cast, including Christopher Lloyd and Brittany Allen, also deliver lackluster performances.
The film's production values are also disappointing. The 3D format is poorly integrated, with little added value to the overall experience. The special effects are subpar, with the Zemons appearing unconvincing and unthreatening.
Overall, "Dead Before Dawn 3D" is a major disappointment. It fails to deliver on its promise of a fun horror-comedy, with a weak script, underdeveloped characters, and poor production values. Fans of the genre should look elsewhere for their entertainment.
Rating: 3/10.
