Product Description

Midnight... Time to Die!

From John A. Russo, author of Return of the Living Dead, comes Midnight, a sordid tale of young runaways, lecherous stepfathers and inbred Satanists.

Poor, poor Nancy..., Alone on the road, trying to hitch a ride to California to start a new life, away from the sleaze of her own family. Nancy hooks up with a pair of good natured petty crooks on a road trip to nowhere special. Then things take a dark turn when her friends are iced by a pair of backwoods cops.

Now, Nancy is in danger of being sacrificed to Satan himself by the wayward lawmen and their twisted siblings, in an insane attempt to resurrect their mother s mummified corpse.

A startling and shocking adventure as three kids take a strange detour to the land of the LIVING DEAD!

4.0 out of 5 starsAn Underated Exploitation Gem
By KD on 3 Sept. 2011
Format: DVD
HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13TH and APRIL FOOL'S DAY; three great horror films all set on some of the scariest times of the year. Well, make way for MIDNIGHT - the scariest time of the day! But does the film live up to it's spooky title? Well, that depends on what you're looking for.

Directed by the writer of the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD film, MIDNIGHT tells the story of a runaway named Nancy who ends up captured by a murderous Satanist cult, as you do. Imagine THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE with Satanists instead of cannibals and you're in the right ball park. From the start, the film's low budget is pretty obvious - and this isn't helped by the picture quality of this release - but in a way, that adds to this film's dirty, beaten charm. With gore effects from the one and only Tom Savini there's a few scenes that gore hounds may be interested in.

Overall, this exploitation film has seemed to have slipped under the radar somewhat (which is surprising considering it's involvement in the notorious video nasty controversy of the '80s and it's cast and crew - Tom Savini, John Russo and John Amplas from Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD, MARTIN and CREEPSHOW). If you fancy some good ol' low budget, backwoods horror, then this film is for you.

The DVD comes with a very informative booklet, reversible artwork and a few nice extras including commentary and interviews.

3.0 out of 5 starsSilly Fun
By Stuart H on 30 Oct. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I really wanted to hate this film...the quality of the production is so poor in parts that I started laughing. Midnight has lots of ideas and lots of characters; unfortunately it just tries to do too much with a low budget and generally low-quality acting resources.

And yet, despite its short-comings, I found the film thoroughly enjoyable and kept watching through to the end. As I watched I kept thinking of films like House of the Devil.

It seems to have been produced with a lot of love and fun, and whether it's just me or not I don't know, but I think that that definitely comes through.

Couldn't help but enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 starsFlawed but interesting
By Ian Williams TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 26 Mar. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This DVD is released by Arrow Video which specialises in reissuing classic or cult horror movies in as complete a version as possible, remastered, and with lots of extras. All have double covers.

John Russo's place in horror movie history is secured by his co-writing the script for Night Of The Living Dead with George Romero, but that isn't all he's done. Apart from several novels or novelisations, he wrote the original script for Return Of The Living Dead which was then re-written as a comedy by other hands, and more.

As for the film itself, I can't honestly say that it's very good but it isn't very bad either and has several things going for it. Made at the time (and long before today's cheap technology) for the then small sum, by movie standards, of $71,000 it wears its cheapness on its sleeve by not very good acting, barely adequate editing, and relatively poor gore effects by another horror legend Tom Savini.

It opens with a family comprising mother and children who come across a teenage girl whose leg is caught in a trap. The mother then exhorts the eldest barely teenage boy to kill her which he does by beating her to death with a stick. Cut to a 17 year old girl being molested by her drunken cop stepfather who runs away and hitches a lift with two older boys, one black and one white. They never get out of the state. Stopping off at a small racist town for beer they get harrassed by the locals and a local cop. Shortly after that they get caught by a strange family and to say more would be to spoil it for you.

There are several good things about this film which work. There is some reasonable characterisation for a start, though this would have worked better with more capable actors, not that they are all poor by any means.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsIf you steel some groceries, get out of town
By L.J.F.64 on 20 May 2015
Format: DVD
When a 17 year-old girl runs away from her abusive step-father she hitches a ride with 2 young men, however after steeling some groceries they hide out in he woods unaware that a family of murderous Satanists are close by.

Slow and strange backwoods horror. After a decent pre-credits sequence it takes a good further 45mins for the film to get going again, but when it does it actually is fairly good. The climactic final 5-10mins are quite exciting and the gore for what was a low budget is commendably good, here also the film moves a fair zip and ends in a strong and satisfying way. However there are real problems with the picture though, the acting is poor, most of the cast give what can only be said as stiff performances (Lawrence Tierney aside who is head & shoulders above everyone else), some of the writing and direction is ridiculous, when Nancy hits her father with the radio its a gentle tap but instantly he's out cold,its a laughable scene, also having a disgusting pervert who wanted to sleep with his step daughter as our saviour at the end seemed a little bit in bad taste. The other major issue here is the films pace, after the opening titles the pic never really gets out of 1st gear, until well after the halfway mark, the stilted acting & writing doesn't help, though as said things do get better, but by that time some will have given up. John Amplas (memorable in Martin, another Section 3 nasty title) plays one of the bad guys here, it isn't a great role but it was good to see someone recognisable and interesting.

Overall a disappointing horror pic but definitely not an unwatchable one, the film promises a lot with its story but because of a few problems only partially delivers.
