Plots(1)
In this powerful bout of plasma splashing cinema, a group of teenage vacationers opt for an ill-advised hike around the beautiful national forests of Oregon. But Lieberman is quick to show that backwoods baddies do not just exist in the American South - they can also be found preying on campers in the supposedly more liberal (and safe) West Coast too!!

The embodied average of all forest slashers from the last 40 years.

Just Before Dawn is definitely a film that doesn't deserve to be forgotten, even if it's not generally ranked among the most shocking and memorable slasher films made in the 1980s. Yet the film is made well and has to be given credit for that. The film manages to please with its redneck poetics, but there are some pretty good and dangerous people. A successful return to the 80s.
