Movie Review
Damned by Dawn!
Director Brett Anstey's
Image Entertainment 2010
With it’s catchy title
and intriguing cover art, I was not expecting much
from this Aussie effort. I know that sounds backwards
but as I’ve come to know, slick packaging
often doesn’t truthfully represent it’s
promise to the perspective viewer. This little gem
did “not” disappoint !
Jam-packed with evil wraiths and
reapers, this film delivers the goods along with
some effective mythological mayhem. The appearance
of the wailing Banshee is truly eerie and atmospheric.
The CGI is used more to enhance it’s make
up effects and the cast both dead and undead make
a credible bunch.
I’m not saying James Cameron
has anything to worry about but if you are looking
for an updated, Evil-Deadish Fright Flick…you
will surely salivate through this one. It’s
fast paced, well shot and just plain fun. So grab
some popcorn and turn out the lights, this one will
creep up on you!
