vendo1961 Review of Minutes to Midnight

Minutes to Midnight (2018)

Nonsensical killing spree...Spoiler Alerts!

[2/10 · 28 January 2019]

If you considered watching this because you're a fan of Dominique Swain...forget it! She is in the movie from @12:20-13:20...exactly One Minute! The plot is a bunch of "college kids" who go to a closed resort in the woods for New Years and get murdered by three TX Chainsaw types, though mostly just the one big, Jason-like dude.Eighties teen heartthrob Richard Grieco plays the sheriff of the "town," even though he makes no effort not to look like a disheveled, long haired drunkard. It's ok, though, as the town appears to have no people in it, other than the characters in the movie. The murders are of the usual "Friday the 13th" variety, with stock character types. Jena Sims (nice) & Heather Paige Cohen (WOW) provide the nudity, but not enough to save this mess. There is a twist at the end that makes no sense whatsoever, as there's neither a flashback nor early dialogue to foreshadow it. The reason all this was done, "to clear the (already empty) town of rotten kids" is especially silly, given that the first 4 victim were adults. Perhaps a different ending was planned and time and money constraints forced them to slap together this awful denouement. It's not nearly bad enough to be ironically entertaining (like "The Room" or "Samurai Cop"). Just a waste of time. Thank you, anyway, Ms Cohen.
