Critics Consensus

Adding dashes of horror to a noir premise, Midnighters is a genre-bending chiller that delights as often as it scares.

Hollywood Reporter

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

Cinema Crazed

The character study this becomes is the most interesting part of the film paired with the thriller aspect that creates a captivating watch.

Rated: 3.5/5

Flickering Myth

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.

Rated: 2/5

Josh Goller

Spectrum Culture

A stilted, cringe-inducing script dooms a promising if relatively well-worn premise in a caper that telegraphs its twists from a mile away.

Rated: 2/5

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.

This film illustrates everyone is inadvertently evil when threatened with jail time or when money is dangled in front of your face

All four people in this movie we're pretty horrible people. They all should have died, but unfortunately one of them made it

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
