Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Best movie ever!
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Halloween, some kids break into the local witch museum to steal some stuff from centuries ago. For fun they go to the cemetery were they open a manuscript and are reading a spell without knowing it. Guess what, it's midnight hour, the demons arise! Zombietown it will be. And of course the legend of the witch comes alive. So far the story of this unfindable movie. When there is a version that pops up on the Net on VHS or even on (official) DVD it goes for more than 100 Euro's or even Dollars. Typical for the movies from that era they were released in several countries mostly with several titles. When you are into horror and a real freak you know you sometime have to do some research about the other titles and guess what. You can obtain this movie for less than 20 euro's but with his second title Return of the Living Zombies. If you do a bit of research you can still catch it on the X Rated Kult label. People into horror will know the label, they come in collectible hard boxes with beautiful artwork. Anyway, is it worth searching? Yes and no. Yes because it's an OOP, no because it isn't quite a real horror. The most important thing is the relationship between a human and a zombie. Still, people are searching this flick due the presence of Kevin McCarthy (invasion of the body snatchers main lead from 1956). The blood never flows in a disgusting way. There isn't any gore or nudity (escential for that era). In fact it is one to see with the whole family on Halloween night. Around the midnight hour...
I've seen this movie several times, and would like to say to this day it still remains one of my favorites. I like it so much because I love vampires and things like that. It was also the first so called vampire movie that made me laugh and had a real point behind it. I would like for my kids to see it before they start thinking their mom is a head case (you know talking about a movie that doesn't exist). I would like to buy it (so I can watch over & over), but can't find it anywhere. And believe me I have looked everywhere I could think of. Most people I ask look at me like I have stripes on my face. Can anyone help me find it????
Midnight Hour (1985) was one of those lame made-for-t.v. horror films that made it's way on network television during the 80's. Most of them suck rotten eggs and this one is no exception. I don't know why they spent money on tripe like this (From what I remember it didn't look like much). Old teenagers raise the dead on saturday night. What happened, was there nothing else to do on the weekend? I guess they were bored silly. Saturday night, the scene is dead, nothing to do. I know what, lets do something real stupid like cast an unholy spell that causes some not so dead corpses come back to life. Capital idea! Was the local video store closed? Wasn't the bowling alley open? I don't know but I do know not to waste good money on stuff like this!Best to avoid unless you're really desperate!D-If you're that hard up to watch this movie then i suggest you find yourself another hobby or read a good book. Life's just too short.
I am a huge horror movie fan...and normally "Made for TV Movies" based on Halloween or horror usually stink (either because of lack of money, lack of real scares and/or gore...lack of plot...etc)...The Midnight Hour, on the other hand, is a great little Made for TV Horror movie!I remember seeing this film when it first aired in 1985...and just falling in love with it. At that point, I had just discovered "Dawn of the Dead", and was really into the whole "Dead coming back to life" type of movie...and this one really hits the mark. Admittedly, it's tame compared to movies released with an R rating...but it's an incredible movie that both kids and adults can enjoy! And, it's VERY creepy in parts...especially when the two leads are driving through the town square, which has become inhabited by the living dead.After seeing it the first time in 85, I watched for it every year afterwards...only seeing it rarely. Kind of a disappointment that it wasn't on a lot...but it did make it more special when it WAS on. How happy was I when, about 5 years ago, I found a VHS copy of it in the local video store! I bought a copy, and now get to watch it whenever I want (well...at Halloween anyway).Let's face it...this movie can probably be seen as kind of cheesy in that it was made in the 80's...we really didn't know how to dress back then! But it has great music (especially the song "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths. Its inclusion happens at a very cool part of the movie), some really good scares...and is a pretty cool movie to watch after coming home from trick or treating on Halloween! If you're looking for a movie where people get ripped apart, swear a lot, show nudity...this isn't going to be the one for you. But if you'd like a fun movie, that is creepy, and has a good story (well, aside from the whole werewolf thing...THAT kind of throws me every time I watch it)...then pick up this one!
