June 22, 2014It is easy to get tired of all the slasher films of the late 70s/early 80s that featured kids in the woods having sex and getting killed, but this movie stands out from the pack as something special. 'Just Before Dawn' follows a group of college kids driving up a mountain to get to a property one of them inherited. George Kennedy plays the foreboding harbinger/forest ranger whose warnings to turn back are willfully ignored by the kids. Once they get as far up the mountain as they can drive, they set up camp and start to realize that they are not the only ones up there. With a fantastic atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat and begging for more, 'Just Before Dawn' is a movie that shouldn't be missed. It is a shame that it isn't well known, but it does have somewhat of a cult following, apparently.
