Midnight Movie posters

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

In case you guys didn’t already know, I am greatly looking forward to catching the old-school-themed slasher flick, MIDNIGHT MOVIE. It’s brandishing all the fun factors I tend to look for in my horror: bad-ass-looking bad guy, loads of the red stuff, a pretty heroine, a self-awareness, and an interesting plot. I’m not sure yet whether we’ll be getting to see some skin (which should be an obvious factor for any fun movie), but MIDNIGHT already has enough points to pass with flying colors.

Now the fine folks over at Shock Till You Drop have piqued my interest even more by showcasing two brand new posters for MIDNIGHT! Check out one up top and one below. I’m really not sure which one I like better. I love the grimy movie marquee on the poster above, but I also love the comic-esque look of the poster at the bottom. Is it fair to call it a draw? Well, it’s my article, so that’s what I’m gonna do! : )

For those as yet unfamiliar with the plot, take this opportunity: MIDNIGHT MOVIE is set in a suburban theater where a bunch of young people gather for the titular screening of THE DARK BENEATH, a stalker flick from the ’70s. They soon find out the hard way that its evil director/star, presumed dead in an asylum massacre, actually lives on in his own feature, and emerges from the screen to murder the kids and drag them into the film.

It was directed by Jack Messitt who co-wrote the script with Mark Garbett. The cast includes Rebekah Brandes, Daniel Bonjour, Mandell Maughan, Greg Cirulnick, Stan Ellsworth and Melissa Steach. The DVD is set to come out this January through Peace Arch Entertainment.
