Director Rose McGowan has a keen directorial sense, delivering one truly dark and vicious short film that is made even more gut wrenching thanks to the eerie performances by the entire cast.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDawn\u201d is set during a more simple time of the fifties where we meet Dawn. Tara Lynn Barr gives a brutally excellent performance as Dawn, a gorgeous young girl who is turned in to a shut in by her parents. One day while at a pit stop she meets Charlie, a gas station attendant and soon her life begins to change. \u201cDawn\u201d is breathtaking in the way that it builds up to its ultimate ending by introducing a set of shut ins and how they experience life through one another. Dawn is a well meaning enough child who is perhaps too shut in and this makes her na\u00efve.<\/p>\n<p>McGowan warns of the dangers of exploration, while also discovering the harm of sheltering a child too much, making Dawn one woefully unaware of what the three people around her are, and what they\u2019re planning in the long run. I loved Reiley McClendon\u2019s performance as the multi-layered Charlie, who seems like Dawn\u2019s perfect dream boat upon first glance. McClendon lends the film a real sense of unease that make the character of Charlie unpredictable, and ultimately haunting. \u201cDawn\u201d is a great debut for Rose McGowan, a powerful drama and thriller, and one that makes me anxious to see what else she has for us up the pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDawn\u201d debuts on Youtube this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDawn\u201d is an absolutely devastating film which is belied by its unbelievably vivid visual style of its innocent decade.
