Released: 2013-10-26
Duration: 1 h 29 min
Rating: 5.7
Cast: Philippa Carson, Dorothy Clements, Rachel Gleeson

Commendable in it's efforts to lighten and heighten the mood, this campy and simple movie uses good humorous dialogue through fun characters, with some later deeper scenarios mixed in.

Not really a horror, certainly nothing like a slasher, Midnight Man's plusses come from the left of centre approach, steering away from the formulaic methods of the genre. I liked how the two main characters didn't say what we'd expect to hear, instead coming out with funny and quirky comments that surprised and provided a different look at how this movie probably would have played out like many times before.

When the mysterious debt collector turns up the story becomes more involved and mysterious and still keeps it's fun side, which really helps because the movie never takes itself too seriously. I found it to be an interesting and mostly well made story that manages to successfully bring its objectives forth, even though it's a small cast and simple setting.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

When an innocent girl summons the mythical Midnight Man for a night of thrills, she opens the door to terrifying supernatural forces that threaten to destroy her...
