“Dead By Dawn” (*1/2 out of four) was a pretty dismal melodrama about a suicidal man (Kelcey Watson) in a remote cabin in the woods who gets a chance for personal and emotional redemption when he has to protect a runaway girl (Drew Lindsey Mitchell) from three attackers and tries to turn the tables on them. Promising opening soon leads nowhere, as film soon becomes sloppy and stupid. Cast of decent actors are let down by weak material and some terrible dialogue. Film doesn’t end so much as stop and final scene has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie. Watch “Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn” instead.
