(1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1   D- "Cain has turned the Mormons into baby-eatin' Nazis to suit his argument, parading around these black-clad, chin-bearded, testicle-slicing gunslingers without any thoughtful consideration."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf C- "The director's overreaching attempts at social commentary with hackneyed devices weaken the veracity of the source material and leave the film open to interpretation as propaganda."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 1/5 "Cain has co-written and directed a film that only the most bigoted of Mormom detractors could enjoy. Most viewers, if any are willing to part with their money or time, will simply laugh derisively."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger "Less verifiable than implied, 'September Dawn' nevertheless does raise relevant questions of intolerance, fanaticism and individual responsibility."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit D "An asinine chunk of Mormonsploitation that mixes historical fact with fictional romance and bald-faced anti-Mormon prejudice."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D- "Has serious problems in historical terms. But in this case they're exacerbated by the simple ineptitude of the filmmaking."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "Earnest but misguided attempt to generate political allegory from the horrific Mountain Meadows Massacre of 9/11/1857 would have benefited from a more straightforward retelling."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 1/5 "Drama may benefit from attention to history, but history doesn’t always make for good drama."   Film Threat   Matthew Sorrento 2/4 "Contriving a faux Romeo and Juliet romance as a point of entry for the audience shows how unimaginative the filmmakers are, and how blandly and uninvolving it plays shows how fairly clueless they are in going about their game plan."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 1/4 "Forget Grindhouse. September Dawn is the year's first honest-to-goodness exploitation flick."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/4 "What could have been a galvanizing and all-too timely account of religious fanaticism turning violent has instead been reduced to the banal level of an Romeo and Juliet-type love story."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1
