Review of Midnight Movie (2008) by Ted P — 06 Mar 2009

Midnight Movies? Whats this? These are sleazy/bloody-trash-films shown after the regular screenings - definitely not made for kids. These films, Quentin Tarantino was really mad about in his youth. And this is exactly how this special Midnight Movie starts: An old cinema somewhere in a suburb, some bored teenagers, some violence-addicted freaks and, well, literally lots of blood. So far, so well known. But this Midnight Movie is not from the 70ies. Proving lots of intelligence this film really plays with your fears: What if the Killers suddenly appears right next to you? What if you leave the screening-room and you just can't get rid of him? What if he is not only in your nightmares? In this movie, not only girls are supposed to have these fears ? it really crosses the thin line between fiction and reality. .

And like with all horror films, you need you remind yourself this is just a film. But in this case, not resisting the fear, is deadly.
