Midnight's Child (1992)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This movie was part of a multi DVD set. It's a boring satin/cult nonsense about a foreign nanny who tries to sacrifice a little girl on her birthday. The only thing of interest was the beginning when the imposter nanny killed the first girl. Then the imposter nanny's father, who knew that this girl was evil tried to find her. Everything else from the family interaction, to the mother's work relations, was basically garbage.This film had no right to be made. The idea is stupid. It's been done before. And the execution of whatever ideas they had were just cheese. Do not waste your time. It's not even funny. I couldn't even laugh at the movie itself. It was just boring.Rating, F, for Failure, 1 star.

This movie is very is like The Omen but better. I will say that the original The Omen from 1976 is a pretty good movie. But this is better. The 2006 remake of The Omen was just overrated crap. This is a great movie is very scary. It is scarier then The Omen. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 4.8 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie movie. That 4.8 is underrating. I give this an 8. It is a great movie. You should see it, It really is a great horror movie. This is scarier then The silence of the lambs could ever be. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. See this movie it is one of the best horror movies of all time.

Parts of it were a little eerie but the action left a lot to be desired, the fight scene at the end and the car crash were a little awful and a bit laughable.I liked the flashes of the future in black and white though.And the explosion at the start looked pretty good, I think thats why it's disappointing, because the first five minuets were more entertaining than the rest of it put together.Personally I think my media class could have made something better, but it wasn't terrible, the mothers dislike of the nanny was believable.Okayish. It might have worked better as a spoof comedy.

This isn't a bad movie when you consider it was made for TV and probably did not have the biggest budget. It keeps you interested until you find out all the secrets, then you are kind of disappointed. Basically the plot is a mix of 'Hand That Rocks the Cradle' and 'Rosemary's Baby' so after a while you can see where things are going. With a better script and actors, this could have been pretty good; instead it is just an average TV movie.
