The extended version of 'Just Before Dawn- is a novelty which reminded me of the extended version of the great, highly entertaining sci fi Alien rip off film 'Creature' in terms of its quality of the inserted scenes. Integral cuts are very hit and miss! 'Re-Animator' was a fine release however.<br /><br />By the way the theatrical version of Creature is a nice quality release and is fun to watch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566408705248423573.post-27796693004733532742021-11-30T23:51:49.940-05:002021-11-30T23:51:49.940-05:00Just Before Dawn was filmed in Oregon in 1980, rig...Just Before Dawn was filmed in Oregon in 1980, right around the time Mount Saint Helen's was erupting in Washington state. The Oregon scenery is gorgeous.<br /> This movie has effective music. The male characters in the movie act like cowardly children while the female character is the only one with courage to fight the killer. It's obviously influenced by Deliverance, as are many other wilderness movies, and to an extent, also influenced by Lord of the Flies. The wilderness is beautiful, but it's scary and dangerous, with its mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, scorpions, snakes, centipedes, intense cold, intense heat, lightning, bears, big cats, unclean, polluted water, and lakes and rivers which can drown a person. Movies such as Just Before Dawn focuses more on the danger from humans in the wilderness. It's saying that humans are the most dangerous and scariest things to encounter in the wilderness. It's a well made movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566408705248423573.post-41578696847485746962018-01-03T05:33:22.055-05:002018-01-03T05:33:22.055-05:00Yup, agreed.

Although I'd still recommend getting the Shriek Show DVD, which has much more compelling special features, and combine it with the blu for the ultimate special edition.John W McKelveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224424721208024907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566408705248423573.post-50630866928022861382018-01-01T16:48:58.078-05:002018-01-01T16:48:58.078-05:0088 films blu is probably the best release now due ...88 films blu is probably the best release now due to the special features.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115238924568283283noreply@blogger.com
