Just Before Dawn

Movie • 1981 • Horror  

Report
Five campers arrive in the mountains to examine some property they have bought, but are warned by the forest ranger Roy McLean that a huge machete-wielding maniac has been terrorising the area. Ignoring the warnings, they set up camp, and start disappearing one by one. If that sounds too run-of-the-mill, there's a genuinely shocking plot twist half-way through...

Then she realizes her boyfriend is already on the shore...

Two characters decide to feign cheating to make a third jealous, and it seems like there’s some real chemistry there...but they’re interrupted before anything happens
