The Worst Film Ever
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
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.
It's just like spongebob squarepants... "The Camping Episode" "THAT WAS AN OVAL!!! IT HAS TO BE A CIRCLE"
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.
