Ten Minutes to Midnight

What did I just watch? This movie didn't make any sense. Best as I can tell, a midnight disc jockey gets bitten by a bat and a bunch of weird stuff happens to her. I don't get it.

As the movie progressed the realization that there was a deeper meaning made this film unique . There were some frenzied moments that were put into perspective as the movie went on that I felt were crafted well .There are definitely some classic WTF moments that will linger with the viewer. I was able to watch this film @ A Drive In with the Lead actress Caroline Williams (Amy ) ,The Director Erik Bloomquist & Co-Writer Carson Bloomquist in attendance.

I will admit that I do enjoy bad films, and that's noteworthy for this review, because this film won me early on with the main character helping herself to a vampire tea bag, after taking a bite out of someone's hand.

I like the fact that there's a lot of question between is she turning into a vampire, or does she have rabies. It does get a bit "fever dreamish" but I like that take on it. Since being turned, or having rabies would be believable to cause.

Especially since with vampirism you literally die to get turned. So it was an interesting take on the idea.

The first ten minutes are good and promising. That's it.

I try hard not to intellectualize horror movies. They are either fun and scary, or they are not. This film was absolutely fun, jolted me a few times, offered a couple of gross out moments I won't soon forget.

"Ten Minutes to Midnight" blended body horror and supernatural elements in a claustrophobic setting that at times was surreal. At 73 minutes, it wastes no time moving the story foreward, propelled by the energy of legendary Caroline Williams as an unsuspecting victim of workplace ageism who experiences a transformaton you'll have to see for yourself.

I loved the films practical effects, and its supporting cast, but most of all that it kept me guessing, and gave me a fun time while doing it.
