Midnight Movie (2009)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Memorable, crazy movie

A different way of telling a story

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

After watching a few big budget bombs, it's fun to watch a little movie that could.The plot is that an insane film director is shown his grind-house quality film in an insane asylum, but oddly enough, the entire staff of the asylum vanishes.Flash forward 5 years, and there is a midnight showing with some horny kids, a couple of bikers and a cop and doctor who are still on the case, hoping the director will show up at this showing. The film itself appears to be a low-budget film in the theme of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.The plot logic is the killer can pop in and out of the movie while it is playing and pick people off if they are afraid. It actually takes a few of the plot flaws of a film like this, such as why doesn't anyone call for help on their cell phones or why not just turn off the projector, and deals with them. Extra points for that.More imaginative and fun than other films of this genre.

Midnight Movie's got everything: a madhouse, blood, guts, gore and a weapon toting crazy to match. The villain of a movie entraps and menaces a group of teens with a corkscrew blade he drills deep into the guts and hearts of his victims. The slasher shots kept making me think of SAW. I wanted so badly to look away but the film kept me wide-eyed and jumping in my seat all through. The plot line's original, the filming creative and the graphics mad crazy. It's got a creepy, convincing villain and a gratifying ending. You may not have seen the original but the killer cut is amazing. Definitely worth watching. =) I can't wait to see it again.

Legit scary movie that I will be adding to my DVD collection! The killer attacks his victims in a movie theater (great scene setting) and senses them through the fear they expose when he is around. Different plot line from other horror/slasher movies and this one kept me entertained the whole time. Once you think it's game over, something else happens then adds another plot twist. I like twists in movies and this one definitely takes you for a ride. The actors are also attractive (bonus) and legit acting. Really great slasher. It was even voted top 100 scariest scores of all time by XM Radio/Cinemagic. The actresses Brea Grant (from Heroes) and Rebekah Brandes (starring in an upcoming summer flick) are also leading in this film. Scared the heebeejeebus out of me! Totally recommend to anyone looking to watch a horror/cult film/slasher/wet my pants movie. Especially during the midnight hours...

I caught a screener of Midnight Movie: the Killer Cut. I loved the retro horror style...really took me back to some old favorites. It had enough gore but not so much that it was pointless and it had some really fun characters, which is always a plus. Not to mention, with all these remakes and reboots, it was great to see a horror flick with a new original story line. The whole concept of a horror movie in the theater intertwining with the real world sounded weird to me at first and I wasn't sure how it would play out, but I actually enjoyed the way they handle in the movie and how they mesh the two worlds together. I really enjoyed the ending a lot, and I must say that's very important to me. If the ending falls short, I feel cheated, but I found myself pleasantly surprised in this case. Any old school horror fans out there would probably enjoy this movie, a good old fashioned setup of a group of people getting knocked off in a secluded location, but with some new interesting concepts.
