The Dark Side of Midnight is ridiculous low budget fun! Loved how almost every single male character had a mustache! Even the killer had one! I fucking loved this movie! Definitely a so-bad-it's-good gem for sure! Please, PLEASE check it out! It's amazingly silly!
I really had fun with The Dark Side of Midnight, despite it being a never-ending series of poorly staged dialogue scenes between nearly indistinguishable mustached men in wood-paneled rooms. And when I say mustached men, I mean every single male character has an identical black mustache. It's surreal. For me, it was non-stop laughter but I can see how almost everyone outright hates this film. It's more than rough around the edges.
For instance, whenever the killer makes an appearance, he looks exactly like Father Guido Sarducci from early SNL. The main detective decides to invite an out-of-town expert named "Brock Johnson" to help solve the case who shows up with the required mustache and proceeds to immediately fall in…
THE DARK SIDE OF MIDNIGHT (1984)
"A small town is terrorized by a homicidal maniac known as The Creeper."
Extremely low-budgeted chiller thriller with an interesting premise but it lacks the necessary pulse!
This movie starts off like a light proto-slasher, becomes a noir mystery by act two, and during act three it becomes a cat-and-mouse chase between The Creeper (portrayed by Dan Myers) and one of the detectives tailing the psycho. Speaking of The Creeper, this serial killer is pathetic. He looks like a cross between cosplayers of horror host Svengoolie and Jack The Ripper, he only dishes out a couple kills in the beginning, and becomes an unintimidating dork by the end. The whole middle slog of this…
I reviewed this film in the OOP 1980s Bleeding Skull book so I won't go crazy here. Just know that I love this film to pieces. I love the world it inhabits. And I want to be Brock Johnson every freakin' day of the week. Thank you and good night.
Men with Mustaches Explain Grisly Murders to Each Other in Offices: The Movie
And wait, you’re telling me the expert criminologist who knows everything about everything and is super tough and is described as young and handsome three times in his first scene and is named “Brock Johnson” is played by the writer-director? That can’t be right.
"Blood City"
Ultrabilliger Slasher-Krimi, der von Troma vertrieben wurde. Der Film könnte auch Kampf der Schnauzbärte heißen.
A bunch of doofuses talking while Undertaker kills kids??? Doesn't sound cool, and it isn't.
The killer is played by a poor man's Joe Spinell. I didn't even know that was possible. Isn't Joe Spinell the poor man's Joe Spinell?
1090.
Brock Johnson, P.I.,
expert on criminal minds,
gives no guarantees.

Pair with Hotel Chevalier (2007)
Every indoor scene is so awkwardly and hilariously over lit. This was a lot like watching a student film.
