I love this movie so much

Thanks for the memories!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

In a mental institution a doctor decides to treat one of his patients by showing him a movie the patient made years ago. It's a horror movie were allegedly people were really killed by the director who's now the patient. He obsesses over this movie. When he sees it, he starts hurting himself. When the doctor goes in the room he sees lots of blood and then is attacked. Later everyone has vanished in the facility but there is blood everywhere.Some years later this very movie is about to be shown in some small theater. We meet the kids who work there. Some of them and their friends decide to watch the movie. It's allegedly a cult movie but only two more people attend to see it--a biker and his girl. A cop and a surviving doctor from the facility also show up, expecting the killer to make an appearance.The movie which was made ages ago actually takes place in the 60s yet is black and white. It shows three hippies on a road trip when they get a flat tire. The driver goes wondering around looking for help and ends up in the house of the killer. But something strange happens. When one of the theater kids goes to the a storage room, he's attacked by the killer...and it's shown on screen. The audience doesn't know any better. Then another kids from the audience goes to the restroom and is similarly killed and it's also shown on screen. Eventually the remaining audience realizes that the killer somehow ended up in the theater and is going after them. They confront him, escape, some are killed. They notice that the movie has something to do with everything so they try to stop the projection. They also realize that the killer preys on their fears and figure the solution is to pray and not be afraid. When the hero girl is attacked she ends up in limbo where all the other victims are--dead yet alive.Midnight movie has a lame setting, a dull cast, an unconvincing killer with a weapon that couldn't possibly do what it shows to do. Supernatural horror is usually unsatisfying, even more so when no explanation is offered. How come the movie here has such a magical power to teleport the killer? We never find out. The killer is some tall skinny guy with a limp who wears a partial skull mask. His weapon a cone-shaped corkscrew thing that when inserted in a chest yank's out the victim's heart somehow. Despite that, many killings aren't explicit but focus on the victim's face instead. At least Rebekah Brandes is lovely and the biker guy is entertaining.Midnight movie had potential had it had a more charismatic villain, a better cast, a variety of setting instead of some movie theater, and if it had been more violent.

Midnight Movie's got everything: a madhouse, blood, guts, gore and a weapon toting crazy to match. The villain of a movie entraps and menaces a group of teens with a corkscrew blade he drills deep into the guts and hearts of his victims. The slasher shots kept making me think of SAW. I wanted so badly to look away but the film kept me wide-eyed and jumping in my seat all through. The plot line's original, the filming creative and the graphics mad crazy. It's got a creepy, convincing villain and a gratifying ending. You may not have seen the original but the killer cut is amazing. Definitely worth watching. =) I can't wait to see it again.

I caught a screener of Midnight Movie: the Killer Cut. I loved the retro horror style...really took me back to some old favorites. It had enough gore but not so much that it was pointless and it had some really fun characters, which is always a plus. Not to mention, with all these remakes and reboots, it was great to see a horror flick with a new original story line. The whole concept of a horror movie in the theater intertwining with the real world sounded weird to me at first and I wasn't sure how it would play out, but I actually enjoyed the way they handle in the movie and how they mesh the two worlds together. I really enjoyed the ending a lot, and I must say that's very important to me. If the ending falls short, I feel cheated, but I found myself pleasantly surprised in this case. Any old school horror fans out there would probably enjoy this movie, a good old fashioned setup of a group of people getting knocked off in a secluded location, but with some new interesting concepts.

I am really not a fan of horror films usually. A friend actually had me watch this movie and I can't say I regret it at all. For a B-movie horror film, I thought it was done really well. The plot wasn't too complex, but it was still fun. The acting from the main characters was a lot better than what I expected, and the suspense kept you on the edge of your seat. Somehow the smaller abandoned theatre seemed to expand whenever the characters were running away from the killer, but maybe that was because you also had the world of the film to escape into every now and then. Overall, I thought this movie was pretty awesome. I don't know how many more horror films I want to watch, but I'd definitely follow Jack Messitt and the other actors to see what they're doing.
