A low-budget film noir that benefits greatly from its tautness and lack of pretension. Go to Full Review

2/5
Midnighters leaves you with the taste of something more complex - truly, there's quite a lot happening - but it all folds together with such homogenized doughiness. Go to Full Review
Josh Goller Spectrum Culture 07/20/2019
2/5
A stilted, cringe-inducing script dooms a promising if relatively well-worn premise in a caper that telegraphs its twists from a mile away. Go to Full Review

Stoner J @Stoner Apr 21 COMPLETELY UNDERRATED criminal coverup thriller with definite horror undertones. The acting is great, the story is suspenseful, as hell, and just gets more intense as a suspicious cop enters the picture acting like a perfectly suspicious and borderline nosy cop who pretty much has this normal couple pegged as first time amateurs at hiding a murders. Great movie trust me and see this one. See more 12/26/2021 Had the ingredients 2.6 See more 01/27/2021 A twisty thriller that gets a little too twisty for its own good. The first half of Midnighters was really gripping - setting itself up to be cover up mystery, but it slowly devolves into a murder by number over some cash. It's alright but certainly not noteworthy after the first 40 minutes. See more 10/06/2020 well written and well done. Suspenseful turns, savage. See more 08/17/2020 All four people in this movie we're pretty horrible people. They all should have died, but unfortunately one of them made it See more 04/07/2019 This was an ok/watchable thriller (it's not a horror). It follows too many genre conventions to be special or surprising. It's about a young couple and the wife's sister who make increasingly bad decisions, leading to more and more peril. It's a bit easy to figure out where this heading, but there a plot twist that's unexpected. The acting is ok, nothing great or special, even including Alex Essoe from Starry Eyes fame. If you're bored and looking for something to pass the time this may work for you. But other than that I wouldn't really recommend it. See more Read all reviews
