a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

After watching a few big budget bombs, it's fun to watch a little movie that could.The plot is that an insane film director is shown his grind-house quality film in an insane asylum, but oddly enough, the entire staff of the asylum vanishes.Flash forward 5 years, and there is a midnight showing with some horny kids, a couple of bikers and a cop and doctor who are still on the case, hoping the director will show up at this showing. The film itself appears to be a low-budget film in the theme of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.The plot logic is the killer can pop in and out of the movie while it is playing and pick people off if they are afraid. It actually takes a few of the plot flaws of a film like this, such as why doesn't anyone call for help on their cell phones or why not just turn off the projector, and deals with them. Extra points for that.More imaginative and fun than other films of this genre.

Midnight movie, the killer cut, was really a lot better than I expected. I liked the first one and I usually hate when there are remakes or sequels of a movie because I always feel like they just end up ruining it and like they should have just let the original one be. However, I actually found the killer cut to be a lot better. The first 30 minutes go by rather slow but after that 30 minute mark the movie manages to keep you on your toes. I really enjoyed that the movie didn't follow the typical clichés, and instead managed to keep a unique sense of originality. The movie doesn't fulfill your expectations and I mean this in a good way. What you may expect to happen doesn't, and the ones you may expect to live or die don't. In slasher films one can always expect the people wandering alone to die, but in this movie anyone anywhere can become the victim, it doesn't matter if your in a room with 10 people or not, anyone in this film at any time is susceptible to falling prey to this psychotic killer. I highly enjoyed this because it constantly kept me guessing and surprising me along the way. For a low budget slasher movie I was really surprised at how good it was, and felt completely satisfied with it at the end. So if you want a scary, gory, and thought provoking movie filled with surprises, go watch this film!!!

I am really not a fan of horror films usually. A friend actually had me watch this movie and I can't say I regret it at all. For a B-movie horror film, I thought it was done really well. The plot wasn't too complex, but it was still fun. The acting from the main characters was a lot better than what I expected, and the suspense kept you on the edge of your seat. Somehow the smaller abandoned theatre seemed to expand whenever the characters were running away from the killer, but maybe that was because you also had the world of the film to escape into every now and then. Overall, I thought this movie was pretty awesome. I don't know how many more horror films I want to watch, but I'd definitely follow Jack Messitt and the other actors to see what they're doing.

Honestly, I am so glad I got to see an early screening of Midnight Movie: The Killer Cut. I had already seen the original version of Midnight Movie( which is one of my favorite horror films) and the new version has included some sweet new shots and better visual effects that make the film even gorier than first cut. My favorite part though would be the plot of this film. I love how the film jumps between the movie being shown in the theater and the movie theater itself. It creates a multidimensional atmosphere that keeps you intrigued to what will happen next. The classic-style movie theater is the perfect set for this thrasher film. For all the horror fans out there I highly recommend this film and I feel it's a must for your DVD collection.
