‘Midnight Movie’ Trailer

October 23rd, 2008 in Awards, Festivals, Horror, Movie News, Trailers -

Chicago Horror Film Festival Winner!

Best Feature, Film Best Cinematography

This looks like a darn good scary movie. It’s getting a limited release, so if you want to see it check the listings at the official website.

The horror story is pretty frightening.  Just thinking about it keeps me away from midnight movies.

The story takes place at a rundown theater in a sleepy suburban town, a group of friends attend the midnight screening of a 1970s cult horror film. These unsuspecting teenagers are unaware that the director and star of the movie made a bloody escape from a psych ward five years earlier and may still be on the loose. As the midnight movie begins, the kids heckle the old black-and-white scenes. But they are jolted when the killer butchers one of their friends…on screen! They soon realize that the killing is not a prank. They are locked inside the theatre and the killer from the movie is after them! 

Caught between reality and the screen’s flickering shadows, are they becoming the unwilling stars of the very horror movie they are watching?

    I found this great blog after reading a post about the top 10 future cult films, of which “Midnight Movie” was on the list. http://coffeeandcelluloid.com/2008/10/22/jumping-the-gun-10-future-cult-films/
