Film Threat Online Review:
The direction here is fantastic. Jonathan London manages to hit the right notes without milking the one-liners, and his style shows that there is a legitimate and talented filmmaker at work here. He manages to get top notch performances from his actors, all of whom nail the naïve, arrogant redneck demeanor without playing their typical stereotypes.
"Gay By Dawn" is equal parts "South Park," "Friday the 13th," and "Mad Magazine." Its humor is irreverent without being offensive. Its jokes belittle the rednecks, not "gays." And that, if nothing else, is a testament to London's skill. -Filmthreat Online
