After Midnight

So IMDb erased a very long review once again because they don't have a save draft feature like almost all writing sites have these days.

So this will be a very brief summary in replace of my normal reviews.

This movie is more of a study of a relationship between 2 Florida people. A woman who is not happy with the current state of her life. And a man who is somewhat happy with just living with her in the place they are at.

In between flashback scenes of this story unfolding we have a few moments here and there where the man is antagonized by some creature who comes calling to his Home just about each and every night After Midnight.

*1 Big STAR for when the creature comes calling on the Wine & Karaoke Party!!! LOL

And that was the end!!!!

6/10

If you read all the bad reviews it becomes clear that they missed half the movie and the other half blew right over the heads. If you miss a key part then you wont understand parts later on. Also I believe that people going into this expecting a horror may have felt they were tricked. It really was not a bad movie...

I originally rated this a 4.9 but after a re-watch moved it up to a 5.9 The last scene is brilliant and I had missed a couple things during the first watch.

5.9

Lots of negative reviews here but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some opinions are, however, wrong.

If you liked The Endless or Spring then you'll like this one, too. The characters are flawed but you care for them anyway. There is horror, drama, and a few genuine laughs to be had. Loved the ending! Definitely worth a look.

This movie is just a quirky mash up of S##t. Is it horror? Comedy? Drama? Romance? Or Science fiction? Answer, all of the above. It is by no means great but I found it rather entertaining. Not for everyone but I liked it.

The bad reviews make me laugh. I get it because I definitely go against the grain of what's liked and disliked in the film world. There are perfectly good examples of movies with good ratings I definitely could not finish. But to each their own. It's probably obvious but Jeremy Gardner both directed and played the main character in this film. Which, fair , sometimes if you want something done a specific way you might as well do it yourself.

Someone made a comment that it looked like it was filmed on an iPhone camera. I'll have to disagree on that one. I've had a limited experience with film equipment but just enough to let you know that if something was filmed on a cellphone device , you'd know What I look for when picking a movie is whether or not it shows any originality and to me this did. I watched the trailer beforehand and it seemed intriguing enough.

This wasn't the best movie I've seen but nowhere near the worst. I don't want those minutes of my life back that I spent so in my opinion its a 7 or in the very least a 6.5 I think it's just the story of two guys who got drunk one night and said let's make a monster flick and that's what they did. Kudos.

Extra points for that Lisa Loeb song at the end. 90's teens only will appreciate what you did there.
