...if you go in prepared for its exploitative excesses and can check your expectations of such conceits as "logic," "character consistency" and "coherence" at the door, you might be in for a blast. Just don't expect any of it to make a lick of sense.

"The Midnight After" is a very interesting production that manages to work both as a quirky/surreal dystopian film and as a comment regarding the current and future situation of Hong Kong.

Dumb… poor attempt at dark humour, or horror

The only reason this embarrassment to Hong Kong films is getting half a star is because the system wouldn't accept a zero. Being a political metaphor doesn't excuse you to make a completely nonsensical film with an idiotic script. A true waste of everyone's time. One of the worst films I've watched, ever.

Discombobulating, but everything makes sense from a metaphorical perspective. Think pergatory.

The TV show Lost should have ended like this.

Thrilling, creative and hilarious, but it contains awful car stunts, and the plot was incomplete, leaving a lot of questions for the audience to ask, e.g. why the rain was red in colour? why Yuki often becomes so scary? Why he Japanese said they would save them, but at last crashed them with cars? And the biggest question is, why would Hong Kong people disappear?

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
