Midnighters

Actually I am not entirely sure what the title is supposed to mean ... maybe I missed something the title was supposed to tell me. Having said that, the movie has quite a few good moments. And I really like/love/adore Alex Essoe ... but that does not help with certain issues the movie has - be it pacing wise or character wise.

Maybe you don't care about things going up and down and just enjoy the twists - although some of them are not as surprising as the movie might like them to be. Still overall a decent thriller with tension from start to finish, even if it leaves you unsatisfied at times.

I watched this movie without knowing anything about it. I wasn't expecting much as it is a free movie on Youtube. However, when it finished I realised how engrossed I was in it. In fact, I would go as far as to say this is a damned good movie.

The plot is pretty good, too. It begins as a few other other horror movies do - driving home at night and then...BANG...they hit something with their car. This is where it takes an exciting turn away from other films. I really loved the story and the various turns and twists. And they are really well done. In some films, the story seems to be written to accommodate the twists, but in this movie you don't see the twists coming and they blend in so well with the story that they are entirely believable.

I highly recommend this movie to those who want something a little different from their horror / thriller movies.

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.

Dont listen to the bad reviews, this was a decent thriller, held my attention throughout..ending a lil,meh....but understandable...

Saw the movie on Hulu and thought I'd give it a shot. And I must say, the movie is pretty good for the directors first feature. But it's not perfect. The acting can get a bit iffy at times but overall it's decent. All the characters are pretty much unlikable, I don't know if this was on purpose but it was impossible for me to root for a single one of them. Overall, it's a decent thriller.
