Midnight Movie


....Low budget does NOT mean Shit....I saw saw this film tonight and it was freakin amazing... It was so damn good I almost crapped my pants. WOW!!!

Synopsis:
.
....At an old run-down movie theater in a sleepy little town, a group of friends buy ticket to the midnight screening of an old horror film. These unsuspecting teenagers are not aware that the star of the movie made a bloody escape from a mental institution five years earlier and may still be on the loose. A bloody massacre ensues...

It's great to see a new twist on an old idea, I like slasher flicks, always have but I have to admit I've been getting a little board of Hollywood with their big budget productions cranking out the same old shit. "Midnight Movie" proves you don't need alot of cash to land a winner, all ya need it a good idea and some talented people to see it through. The only negative aspect I could point out in this film would have to be the acting which at times could be a bit forced, if not down right amature. But that said with a limited budget and a short shooting schedule it's likely that most scenes were done in one or two takes so I'll give the cast the benefit of the doubt. Hats off to Jack Messitt (director) and his crew they certainly out did themselves, a fine piece of work. The movie cast is as follows... Rebekah Brandes (Bidget), Daniel Bonjour (Josh), Greg Cirunick (Mario), Mandell Maughan (Samantha) Jon Briddell (Detective Barrons), Michael Swan (Dr. Wayne) and Stan Ellsworth (Harley). If you like horror flicks and slasher flicks in particular this one is definitely worth your time, two thumbs up...
