      Logan D After her father kills everyone in her family but her, a young woman joins a convent. Years later, she is still dealing with the demons that haunted him. Question, can someone entice 250 of their friends to submit positive ratings for their film on Rotten Tomatoes? You bet your popcorn they can! My wife tends to like films rated highly by the audience so we tried this one. Once it was over, she said, "what a waste of time." I told her she should've said something. I wouldn't have been offended. There are moments you think, okay, it's gonna get better, but it doesn't. And whomever the persons responsible for this film are they didn't have the slightest clue about the Catholic religion. Not recommended in the slightest. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Wahab B This is a honest review and I'm sorry if I might sound a bit harsh. The acting was awful & the storyline is disjointed. It was torture watching it and even though I watched it to the end, I guess I was just looking for a reason not to say that the movie isn't all that bad but it was. My eyes hurt from watching it. My heart bleeds from thinking I spent 1hr30mins watching it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Francois M Incredibly weak horror movie. The positive reviews here are inexplicable. It's the horror genre I love most, and delivers almost nothing. The vox/vocals sound is horrible. The music is well done though. Visually adequate, but not shot especially well. The concept is good, but the writing is the very worst part. In a word: avoid. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Cara B I had a difficult time finishing the movie. The acting was pretty terrible and the story didn't flow well. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/20/22 Full Review Alex There's no way in hell this movie is 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's some kind of mistake because literally every review on here is terrible. I wish I had read these reviews before watching! The movie doesn't make sense. I waited for the end hoping everything would be explained. The few sentences shown on the screen at the end just left me confused and frustrated. I should have known it wouldn't be a great movie when the very first lines of the movie had me thinking how bad the acting was. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/01/20 Full Review Audience Member The creators of this movie must have rigged it somehow to get a 93 percent review score. It is horrible. Boring as all get out. Do not watch this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/01/20 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Bobby LePire Film Threat The Dawn has a few flaws but is still one of the better and more engaging nun-centric horror films to be released recently. Rated: 7.5/10 Jan 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
