Forever Midnight

I personally saw this movie twice, and if the major plot holes or undeveloped characters don't bother you, or hinder your viewing, perhaps you could enjoy the movie a bit. To top it all off, the lead character, if you could tell who it was, played by Sarah Byrd, failed to deliver the correct emotions or at least those her lines conveyed. Instead of anger, it sounded and looked more like whining. But, I suppose an actor can only act as good as the director leads. In conclusion Blue Dog production should try to spend there money a lot more wisely. Perhaps read the script first.

This movie suffered terribly from the old game of directors hiring friends. The lead in this movie desperately needed a charismatic, likeable female actor, but what it got was a disaster. Sarah Byrd was totally miscast.

Eric Weir and James Hoenscheidt although, were excellent, and they were friends of the director as well. I see good careers happening for both of these young men.

It's too bad that people will put all of their money and hard work on the line and not listen to seasoned casting directors who know better.

Better luck next time.

I was under the impression that independent films were becoming "the" films to be reckoned with. I was wrong. Not that this film was terrible, but Blackwell could use a dash of HUMOR in his directing and writing. Much too dark, too depressing, and way too long, the only saving grace of the film was the acting (though most of the time the actors were given ridiculous dialogue and direction). They tried to make the best of an awfully bad situation. I hope Blackwell learns from this picture. P.S. Erick Weir was BRILLIANT!

If you count the number of screens I've seen it on 4, you see at the premier. they had 3 screens showing it and on opening day just one big one. Any way being one of the few that could stand to see this film twice I've decided to complement a certain aspect of it. Now, I stick with my position on actors being only as good as their directors lead. But one actress in my mind stands out of this horror show as a beautiful beam of light an angel in the guise of evil. The inspiring beauty known to us as Linsey Shupe. I just have to compliment her small although significant dent on this movie's shallow back. Again I saw bravo to the wonder of this sheer goddess of film and stage. By far the best moments to watch in the film. I just had one small question how did the casting agents find, and the budget afford the wicked witch of the west to come out of a long hiatus for this shoty piece of trash?(fenix's mother)

I felt, considering the 38,000 dollar budget the crew did a very good job in conveying a poignant story onto the movie screen. The acting was decent enough to allow for thorough believability. It is evident that the director/writer did not intend for there to be one single main character, but perhaps a little too much weight was laid upon the woman instead of the two other friends. But I left this film feeling that it did, somewhere hovering about its core, contain the germ of truth with respect to post-high school/pre-college stress. Plus the film made a good atempt at conveying the multi-faceted tensions between an 18-year-old's family and friends. Overall, I would say that such a low-budgeted film, being the directors first feature-length creation, is an entertaining exposition.
