just before dawn be an excellent horror movie . it be atmospheric and fill with tension make of wonderful shot of wild nature and in which few young people meet their doom and in the shape of two crazed and fat bastard and who slaughter them . jeff lieberman be very talented and intelligent director and who be unfortunately underrated . he achieve to build tension and not with gore and but with show menace nature environment . lieberman succeed to build a tension in a very linear and simplistic way and which be also the best way and not to show to the viewer the gore and but to let him to imagine the bad thing that happen to character . just before dawn be always compare to texas chainsaw massacre and deliverance and hill have eye . it be as good look a deliverance and good than hill and i mean scary and well craft and and it be creepy a the texas chainsaw massacre . jbd be one of the best horror of past few decade and who finally live on dvd .
