Utilizing authentic, scenic Oregon mountain settings, Jeff Lieberman's (Squirm, Blue Sunshine) rural slasher is a criminally underrated example of how to do a genre film right. That knit caps and aviators didn't become at least a quarter as iconic as a certain hockey mask is a shame.
Other than a ludicrous (yet still fantastic) denouement that squanders some of the tension, Just Before Dawn is an atmospheric slice of woodsy fun and perfect summertime viewing
