A rarely seen slasher flick gets a midnight screening at a run-down movie theater. The film's director was supposedly driven insane by it, but that doesn't deter horror fans, including Bridget (Rebekah Brandes) and her boyfriend, Josh (Daniel Bonjour), from attending the showing. When the lights dim and the movie starts, they'd better prepare themselves for the scare of their lives. That's because they're not just going to be watching this bloodbath -- they're going to be starring in it.

Exami P A slasher film that showcases something fresh within the subgenre. An incredibly powerful villain with a story that captivates from start to finish. A forgotten gem that deserves more recognition. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Jason W Interesting concept, some good kills and gore, but the execution fell short. The acting was on the borderline for me. Fun slasher to pass an hour and a bit. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Tristen M With a very novel concept, Midnight Movie is a clever slasher film that earns some points for innovation, originality and creativity. Horror fans will love it. I know i did. 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review steve d It didn't do anything new but was surprisingly creepy and effective. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Well made, bloody, and intense slasher that's a lot better than most, and definitely not forgettable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A lack of scares and reprehensible acting hold down this campy gorefest. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
