About this movie

A New Years night becomes a long day's journey into dread for one seriously unlucky couple in this wild ride nerve-twister. On their way home from ringing in midnight on January 1, married-with-problems Lindsey (Alex Essoe) and Jeff (Dylan McTee) accidentally run down a man in the middle of the road. Things look bad when they panic and stash the body in the backseat. Things look worse when they discover that the stranger they hit may have had sinister intentions involving the couple and their family. And things go off the rails when a certain psychotic "Detective Smith" (Ward Horton) comes calling… The scarily gripping feature debut from The Walking Dead and Krypton director Julius Ramsay careens with hairpin twists and genre-defying surprises.

Midnighters is a well done but ordinary film that explores basics of human relations and question its conventions. The premise is very interesting and it develops through good performances and great editing. The story is very interesting and keeps you in dark for the right amount of time to understand what is happening, but once you do it becomes a very predictable ride, in most part due to it's not so natural and too explanatory dialogues, also the geographically confusing but beautiful photography doesn't help the view. The good direction and pace fixes most of the issues of this film. Worth watch for sure. Just don't expect to see anything new.

A pleasant surprise. I'd heard nothing about it, went in blind and came away well entertained.
