[Review] Greed Leads To Betrayal & Murder In ‘Midnighters’

Published

on

Greed leads to betrayal and murder in IFC Midnight’s film Midnighters. The film opens with a husband and wife leaving a New Year’s Eve party. While driving home their already troubled relationship will be put to the test as a tragic incident occurs and the couple is faced with a tragic incident. Their already troubled relationship will be put to the test as they attempt to cover up the crime. With a slew of fabricated stories to the authorities, the couple continues to dig themselves deeper and deeper, causing total confusion with their lies as an unlawful twist ensues.

I do apologize for the brief plot summary, with this film I felt keeping it short and sweet was essential to avoid any spoilers.

Midnighters delivers a well-constructed script that will cast much doubt on what road our characters travel on leaving the plot highly unpredictable, which was a real treat as most films lately have been drenched with predictability. From the start, I noticed that many of the scenes were poorly lit, however to my amazement this added to the already tense scenes throughout the film. Midnighters runs similar to a suspense thriller rather than a horror film, but don’t fret, I promise you there is some gore that causes moviegoers to squirm in their seats, I sure did!

The particular element of the film I found most attractive was the mear fact that people might not be who they say they are, trust no one!

With quick pacing allowing for an elevation of suspense, Midnighters is executed reasonably well, definitely a recommend.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
