I love this movie so much
Sorry, this movie sucks
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Please don't waste your time watching this its awful. Terrible acting, totally not scary it should never have been done.
First, you don't play a bloody strange game out of nowhere without knowing the rules. Yet these 2 bloody dumbasses (sorry actor/actress, not your fault) dived straight into the crap hole. Second, the other girl is totally dumb (my apology to the actress). You came to someone house during the night and the house was dark AF, really? Just stay at home and sleep. Third, that cheap silicon masked man looks cheap af.
If you like your films acted by students, filmed on a phone with a budget of the price of a coffee ... this film is NOT for you!!! I see the trolls have been on this one, unjust bad reviews, the acting, quality, visuals, budget and storyline all good. It's not an oscar winner and not a 'conjuring scare you silly film', but its a good little horror with some strong well done violence and petite scares, lovely performances from cult and familiar faces.... trolls you have your cheap student horror flicks with generic film posters that have nothing to do with the film ... and i'll stick to 'REAL' horror films !!!
Today people tend to claim a movie is a masterpiece and cinematic triumph or it is a total disaster, the worst movie I ever watched etc. The Midnight Man imho does not belong in either category, it is a small horror movie with a story-line based on a game that evokes a dark, evil entity and the price of the game is one's life and if one loses the game you get a fine cruel death. (Well, some dark souls could rightfully argue that a cruel death is still a kind of good reward, because, you know, who wants to die a common, total boring death!?) So, in short, for sure there is nothing new in the western front, but what we get are decent actors (Lin Shaye, Robert Englund, also the young actors do not disappoint) and a good production value with some nice value of gore and splatter and a good, dark atmosphere and a very bad guy. Yes, this movie is no Oscar material or made to be someday called cvlt, but The Midnight Man is a pro made movie and imo for the aficionado of horror a good snack in-between. My rate 5, maybe a 6.
