Dawning Movie Trailer

"Dawning" takes place at a Northern Minnesota lake cabin where a brother and sister visit their father and step-mom. As the first night unfolds with uncomfortable small-talk and tension, tragedy strikes as the beloved family dog is found mortally wounded. Almost immediately a stranger, potentially under the spell of some un-seen "presence", appears in the cabin and tells the family that he has come to save them...but from what?

The man's arrival upsets what at best was only a tentative balance and the pretense at civility begins to crumble. Soon, their lack of trust in each other and their inability to cope with any new pressure exposes their weaknesses and what the stranger has started, whatever is waiting in the dark may finish.

REVIEW from Will Colby, Editor of Killingboxx.com:

"'Dawning', from director Gregg Holtgrewe, is fresh air in a genre often stuck in a cloying repetitive cycle. Why think of something original? It is much easier to up the ante on tried and true formulaic staples. But Holtgrewe avoids this path and created something unique.

'Dawning' is a beast of imagination that forges ahead, swimming up stream, avoiding the waters of redundancy. This my friends is a film that exemplifies all that is great in independent cinema. When every element aligns perfectly, the end result is a product that easily stands up to anything Hollywood is offering. Gregg Holtgrewe has managed to compete with the "big boys" by utilizing every resource available to its maximum potential.

There are ways around not having any funds to work with and this gentleman seems to have perfected that formula. 'Dawning' is a textbook example of valuable insight into what can be achieved if you have the drive to work hard enough. Knowing his limitations and utilizing a professional cast Holtgrewe has elevated the bar for potential within the independent community."

Worst movie I've ever seen in my life!!! WTF is this movie about? This isnt even a movie...what the hell is this crap? The plot makes no sense at all? the audio editing is the terrible! No way in hell those awards are real. Lets make up some awards and put it on our trailer. Can someone please tell me what the hell was suppose to be killing them?

@theflawless00 : Before you make statement which have no backing, i.e. "No way in hell those awards are real" you should do some homework and actually look at the festivals. Thanks for watching and have a good Christmas.

@wholecrueproductions Im sorry but any person or "festival" willing to give positive feedback on this movie is either being way to nice or is fraud themselves. I'm a film student myself and I know I could do a way better job than this. Nothing personal, but I hardly would even call this a movie.

@theflawless00 Thanks for your opinion and good luck with your future after film school. Sorry you didn't like the film, but it's unfortunate that a film school student like yourself doesn't know about the film festival circuit, distribution, etc...but that's okay because I've already signed a contract to do another film so obviously something must be going right. Again, good luck in the future.

This movie was so hilarious me and my cousins were just laughing at the sucky camera angles it looked like there was no room for the crew lol and at one point the girls voice echoed randomly. Ugh it was also frustrating its like a bunch of random clipsmofmpeople dyeing and all the explanaitions were cut out. 0/10 stars for horror 10/10 stars for comedy. Btw were only 14 and we still can tell it was a terrible movie

WORST MOVIE EVER. JUST SEEN IT ON NETFLIX WASTED AND HOUR AND 40 MINS. im tight

[theflawless00]

@theflawless00 Forgive me for my harsh criticism. I wasnt expecting to get a response from the actual producers of this film. And technically im actually an animation student, but film comes with it. But since im talking to the producer himself why dont you explain what exactly is going on in this movie.

[blchnick]

@wholecrueproductions well he does have a point. This movie is fucking terrible.
