Midnight Movie [Blu-ray]
F**G
worth the 2 bucks, bit of a spoiler
It's a good premise that feels like it's been done before but this movie executes it pretty well. The kills are gory and one of the kills was actually unexpected. The way most of the characters react is realistic enough but I was left confuse as to the reason why it's happening. But I guess you don't need them to go into full detail for the movie to be enjoyable. Would rewatch again.

Midnight Movies
Midnight Movie is a great film. I thought the acting was very good for today standards, considering all teen actors today seem to just swear and smoke pot in horror films. The killer looked like a smaller, weaker version of Batman villian Bane. The kills in this film were plain and only one i'd consider gory. The plot was simple with a few holes in it. The ending did leave room for a sequel in the near future but I hope they dont make anther film, this was perfect and was only an hour and twenty minutes. Cook up a bag of popcorn and enjoy this well done horror flick.I love horror films that take place in the theaters and if you enjoyed this film, then i'd highly recommend the film Popcorn but thats out of print and might cost alot.

"Psycho" Meets "The Purple Rose of Cairo"
This film is one of the most creative horror movies I have seen generated since A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream. Granted, it is a lower-budget/independent film, but the acting is palatable and will keep you entertained. And it will not disappoint fans who favor gore. The killer is pretty standard, and the mother character smacks of Psycho, but there is enough tension from these two to keep you on your toes. Additionally, the theme of victims and villains popping in and out of the film within a film is highly original. And well-executed here. Another horror film that tries this is Popcorn , but I don't remember that being too engaging of a flick. Try this one if you are tired of standard slasher fare and want something with a few twists and turns.

Fantastic Horror B flick !!!
Movie comes packaged in standard bluray case. Extras are ok. Great cover art.Seller sent in good packaging and timely!Just like any horror movie, things go from bad to worse as our characters figure out what’s going on. Skully appears and disappears at the drop of a hat which keeps the characters on their toes. As people are getting bumped off, they do try to get out of the theater but there’s some sort of “magic” at play and none of the doors will open. They try and stop the film (which was a thought I had) but things don’t quite work out like they planned. And as for the ending, things get really weird in a cool way!!

Doing the best with what they have
I love Amazon because they will deliver movies that fly under the radar and this one deserves a look if you're a horror fanatic. Midnight Movie proves that you don't need a big budget if you have people involved who give their all to their craft both on and off the screen. Don't ever change Amazon and continue to bring us shows and movies we can't get anywhere else and you will have a subscriber for life.

A slasher film with brains and balls
At first glance, Midnight Movie might not seem like much, but each time I see it (this being the third time), it keeps getting better. The supernatural element of the film does give the villain all the advantage, but there are enough characters to make us care about them, thus making the body count all the more intense. The use of the black-and-white "film-within-the-film" is also cleverly done and we get some good hard rock songs.

I like it
I saw this when i was home from work mad late at night and i knew i had to sleep cuz if i didnt id be screwed the next day at work. So i stayed up and watched it,i gotta say i love the originality of this story. I really think it was done well,all the way from the acting of all the characters the gore,the sub-plot and weird story. The killers weapon i think is sick as hell,i liked that alot. I found alot of dark humor throughout the movie. Go check it out.

Piece of garbage
I had read several reviews all over the place about how great this movie was so I rented the original version on Netflix..the Killer Cut is not available there. I was severely disappointed with it but kept telling myself that the Killer Cut would improve on this because all of these people can't be wrong. So once I found out that Amazon had the Killer Cut for streaming, I jumped on it right away....well, after watching it, I'm still disappointed. This movie is a piece of garbage with some of the worst acting I have ever seen. The Killer Cut boasted improved special effects but the only thing that I could tell was that any time the killer appeared or disappeared, there is now a flame effect that has been added. I understand that this is a low budget direct to dvd movie so I am not expecting the production value to be outstanding, but still. This movie had such a great concept but it fell completely flat. I can only assume that all these people that "love" this movie are studio plants. I am an avid horror movie enthusiast and found this movie to be one of worst pieces of trash I have ever watched...twice. I wish I could get my $1.99 and all the time I wasted back.

Rubbish.
Absolutely dreadful, the type of movie which I despise. The low budget wasn’t holding it back, until it became completely ridiculous. Performances were going quite well, but then the whole stupid story falls apart. It shows far too much of the crap movie being played in the cinema, the preposterous maniac limping around with the stupid weapon of choice was just laughable. About as threatening as a sloath. Tried to do something new and thought it would it’s so called originality fell flat on its face. Complete waste of time, If it had just stuck to the slasher formula it might have worked, but alas it tried to be clever and just ends up looking stupid.
P**.
Worth a quid.
This unfortunately for me belongs in the 80s retro bin.I couldn't get past the acting which was adequate at best.This may appeal to fans for the style of the way the film is shot which reminded me a bit of the video nasty era.But that's being kind !!!Average and that's being kind as well.

Pretty Shocking
I probably would never have bought this usually, but, on the strength of the other reviews and the price, I did. After struggling through the first 45 minutes of quite possibly some of the worst acting and plot I've ever seen (and I've endured America's Sweethearts at the cinema) I actually threw this in the bin. That bad, and simply not worth the effort in my opinion.
