Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
scaredstifffilms I remember as a youth every Halloween on channel seven in Nyc aka abc watching with friends year after year. I also rented it numerous times at my local video store back in eighties. The midnight hour is one of my favorite films. I'm a fan. The acting and musical choreography was amazing. I know all the lines by hard. Great film. Director jack bender did a great job. I. A filmmaker and would love the remake "The midnight hour"
Bestkb A great movie if you want something fun, exciting, but not overly scary. The story is really nothing new in terms of Halloween themed movies; kids have a party and bring back the dead from the past and need to get them back before the midnight hour on Halloween night. The acting in this TV movie is what you would expect from a movie made for television. My standout favorite in the movie would be Levar Burton, from Star Trek NG fame. Every actor in this movie is acceptable, no real Oscar nominees nor Razzies..So if you are in the Halloween mood and what something to get you into the Halloween spirit, I would say this made for television movie is exactly what you need to fulfill your desires for good Halloween fun.
kclipper A mostly dumb but sometimes fun teenage horror/comedy T.V. movie features a plethora of creatures comprising of vampires, werewolves and graveyard ghouls who crash a high school dance during Halloween night. It seems that unsuspecting teens performed a ritual that caused the dead to rise, and at the stroke of midnight they will reign terror over the earth forever. (or something like that.) This sometimes feels like a throwback to the 1960s lifestyle with rag-top convertibles, cheerleaders and school spirit, but then it also looks like a 1980s rehash of 'Michael Jackson's Thriller' with retro-80s music blended with monster movie clichés and a cheesy Halloween themed dance sequence. Fans of traditional monster movies will appreciate it for its nostalgic value, but anyone else should stay clear, especially gore fans. It definitively falls short on supplying blood or any substantial surprises..
Carla Nearing This movie was a classic in my house as a child, you see my Dad taped it off of the TV, and we watched it every Halloween. We watched it so much in fact that we wore out the tape! Everyone in my family LOVED this movie. The funny part is, it took us years to find out the name of it, as when my Dad taped it he missed the opening credits, we called it the "Phil Movie" for years. So when we were finally able to get the title of the movie, the search was on to find the DVD, and we finally did!So all that hunting should tell you how good a movie this really was! If you are looking for gore and horror, keep in mind that this was a TV movie. This was the family version of all those "horror" movies of the 80's. A parody of sorts, if you haven't seen it, I suggest you do!
