Midnighters

This is a movie that starts off with a pedestrian vs auto accident that starts a downward spiral. It is all about bad decisions and who you can trust. The story was really thin without a lot of depth or character development. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't impressive either.

Known for as a film editor, Julius Ramsay makes his directorial debut in this, his first full length film, following his only four TV series - two of which were Walking Dead episodes. And what an outstanding job he did in directing his cameras, and his cast.

He teams up with (his brother) Alston Ramsay's first ever role as writer, and together they create a wonderfully tense, low-budget film noir that benefits greatly from its perfect length, pace, tautness and lack of pretension.

By focusing more on suspense and tension with a perfect touch of gore, the Ramsay brothers have crafted an economical and effective alternative to the many disappointing big-budget entries into this genre.

The primarily novice C-list, and a few B-list actors were surprisingly impressive. The score was perfect. The cinematography on point.

Yes there were a few light plot issues, but still much better writing than some seasoned professional high-paid Hollywood writers.

Aside from that, this film was pretty much flawless - considering its a low budget and B-grade entry level film. Would I see it again and recommend it? Absolutely! A well deserved 8.5 rounded up up a 9/10

I'm a big fan of alex essoe (starry eyes) and she shines once again. i didn't like her husband or the sisters acting. the antagonist was ok.

good direction, script, and plot twists left me interested. however, the plot thins out towards the latter half of the movie and i had some definite eye-rolling moments.

this movie was a good, slightly higher than average movie

Most of the movie was the dark drive home after everyone said "Happy New Year" & in their dark garage when they got home. The scenes were too dark. I ended up with a headache from straining to see. Also, it was too confusing. Where did the money come from? Why did two guys go to their house? Why did the husband say that her sister wasn't on their side? What did she do wrong? I didn't get it.

Its actually pretty amazing, that this crew made a movie with this kind of cinematic quality, when they didnt give two sharts about the story or character development. Its a clusterfuck of medium-filmmaking, and poor writing - trying to corrolate the few good ideas they have. It could have been made in a day, and then edited into something else.

99% dark mushy out-of-focus scenes, "stolen" shots from other horror movie and classic, and the most unrealistic farfetched, stupid plot for a horror movie in a genre, that HAS to be realistic, to be scary.

English is not my first language, i dont care about grammar much. The only thing that mattered was counterattacking the stupid review from the crew. 9/10, my ass. NOTHING in this movie is remotely interesting and none of the character are believable in any way. Every situation leads to a slap in your own face, and you wonder if you should give up, or what the last 50 minutes.

DONT WAIT FOR THE GOOD ENDING, that saves most shitty horrors/thrillers. It is not there.
