Midnight Movie (2008)

There’s something to be said for modern slashers. That would be, most are uber generic and usually base their entire premise around finding the best way to off characters as the masked killer slices and dices through a troop of sexually-fiending teens and creepy old men. Now, I know that’s not extremely different from the slashers of the 80s, but there’s a completely different feel these days. It’s almost as if the filmmakers just want to make a film and the easiest way to do that is to put together a poorly structured story, using unlikable characters and then have them killed in gruesome ways. Now, that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the point of this rant, and that would be, Midnight Movie. This is one of the few slashers I’ve ever seen that actually kept my attention the whole time, and was actually pretty damned entertaining.
