MIDNIGHT MOVIE
(Dir.
Jack Messitt, US, NR, 2008, 81 min)
Midnight Movie
is a wickedly
entertaining mix of Wes Craven’s New Nightmare and Lamberto
Bava’s Demons. It’s a horror movie within
a horror
movie. At a rundown theatre in a sleepy suburban town, a
group of
friends attend the midnight screening of a 1970s cult splatter film.
These unsuspecting teenagers are unaware that the director of the movie
made a bloody escape from a mental hospital five years earlier and is
still on the loose. Tonight is the film’s first
theatrical
screening since his disappearance. As the midnight movie begins, the
kids heckle the old black-and-white film, but are soon jolted when the
killer butchers one of their friends…on screen!
Now, they
realize that they’re locked inside the theatre and the
celluloid
killer has stepped off the projection screen and into
reality. Caught between the unknown and the
film’s
flickering shadows, they are becoming the unwilling stars of their very
own horror flick!
Viewer’s
Guide: Language, violence and gore.
