There are a LOT of movies named The Midnight Man. I thought I had the right one and started playing and when they mentioned playing a game, I thought it was the right one but, it was not. This is like so many "you see the threat" movies that are static. This one seems like it was a stage play. VERY limited sets. One set it used for most of the movie. Limited characters. 10 day shoot. Probably very low budget. Ken Foree channeling Sam L. Jackson. I am ready for it to be over. There is some mention of a satisfying ending. Waiting..... 16 minutes left and... SOMETHING HAPPENED! Don't know what, yet. Everything happens in the last 16 minutes so either dump out quick or stay for the entire, mostly boring, ride. SURELY not worth 10/10 like the producers brother rated this. Just a 5. If they had cut out about 40 minutes, it would be a 7. Finally ended. I found the entire movie uninspired and somewhat boring. And confusing. And no resolution. With the weak ending, just reduced to a 4.

atrocious

A bickering couple take a trip to a weekend trip to a cabin in the woods in a vain attempt to save their crumbling marriage.unaware that someone is out there with malicious intent
I wouldn't want to spend 3 minutes with these two characters much less almost an hour and a half. It's grueling and moves at a snail's pace. And the 'action' or what passes for it, when it does come, it's not even worth it. A poor film on all fronts. Avoid it

WTF have I just watched???????

I cannot believe that I actually sat through this! The writing, direction and acting was abysmal; I don't even know if it was trying to be funny but it failed here as well as every other level.
I suppose the fact that it was filmed in 10 days should tell a story; to be fair it would be a better story that was portrayed in the film!
Just avoid this pathetic attempt of a horror at all costs, unless you want to relive the makeup from The Evil Dead; yes the first lot of makeup that they threw in the bin!

Ken Foree's the only reason to see this

Warning: Spoilers
THE MIDNIGHT MAN is one of two recent horror flicks starring old time horror actors; this one has a briefly-seen Ken Foree, the other features Robert Englund. Unfortunately, this one's an independent feature shot on the cheap over the course of a week, and it's another case of a relationship drama masquerading as a horror film. A bickering couple head off to a mountaintop cabin to work on their relationship issues, but instead end up being victimised by a remorseless psychopath. You have to feel for poor old Foree, who was so great in DAWN OF THE DEAD but has been reduced to appearing in mainly pitiful films ever since.
Have The Makers Met Any Real People?

No; I mean that, seriously. Because the things people say and do in this dire little flick don't seem to bear much resemblance to reality.
If anything I'd say they seem to be based on the sort of characters they must've watched in endless hours of T. V. sitcoms.
The two main characters are grating and annoying, especially the guy. I was hoping they'd both die some grisly horrible death almost from the get-go.
And what's Ken Foree doing in this? I might not call him an A Lister, but the guy's been in so many things for so long..... Technically it's mostly O. K. if uninspired. There are some sound and colour issues as other have mentioned, but by FAR it's biggest problem is poor writing, followed closely by 'wrong' acting.

Totally different and outside of the box movie. I loved it.

Ok so I'm not going to lie it started out slow. The sound is not great and some of the color matching between scenes is bad. However for some reason this film hooked me just enough to make it to the end and I'm SO glad it did! The dialog between the couple is funny and different. At first I was expecting this to be a run of the mill story that has been done over and over again. ITS NOT! It ends up being a great movie by the end. This movie really does try to break the mold and do something different and it does! The story was great and I loved the ending. Totally worth the watch and I would love to see more by Kamal Moo.

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME, (4) .... and today we review ... "what kens been up to" the movie !!
Why....whos that tall dark well dressed black man here to break your legs ? ..... ken ...where have you been for the past few years ... i wondered where he went after the zombies, and interdimensional sex monsters AND fighting leather face ..... well i guess know we know ,..he became an accountant ... i mean ... not too exciting but sure why not ....
started watching this, it got misleading, ... i kept watching it ...AND it misled me again !!!!!!!!! Good job movie .... from a drama to a horror to a comedy back to drama to horror and just all over it does well to keep you involved, playing into relationship issues that EVERYONE knows and understands ,.... and also plays into the "someones here to kill us" problems we all face regularly .... so this film knows how to tug the heart strings for sure BUT doesnt let you forget its a horror film when the midnight man shows up BUT not how you might expect ....
i enjoyed it .... not what i expected now what i wanted from the title but i wasnt disappointed like my mom is when i told her what i do for a living SO in the end good job movie
the tech specs are solid, the sound DOES have some slight issues with volume control at the end BUT other wise its decent throughout .... acting is decent .... lighting solid ....well ..."day for night", film might needed to be re-named "the "mid(afternoon for)night man" BUT thats forgivable ....because it wasnt even done badly .... so again to the people who made it ...3 thumbs up .....
7/10.
