Midnight Peepshow

I am not the audience for this kind of film, I like horror not torture. Having said that, I can really appreciate what this film does and how well it does it. This is, at minimum, at least as depraved as you'd expect, possibly more depraved. It's an interesting concept and the characters are engaging enough, although I got a bit confused between all the brunette women as they look so similar. The acting is good and so is the cinematography, one of the better made indie horror films. So it is well made but it is flawed and for me the biggest flaw was the writing. The pacing is a little slow, you get it well before the film gets there. I just also think it misses its audience and that the audience for this kind of film isn't there anymore. I could be wrong about that though. My favourite sections of the linked-anthology were the wraparound and the final story although I wasn't a fan of the ending. If you like Hostel (2005) and Saw (2004) kind of horror films then you'll really like this film whereas it's a bit too nasty for me to enjoy.

Obviously made by some odd lads who met on the dark web! This depraved and dark series of intertwining stories of sexual roleplay gone wrong are from some of the UKs most influential voices in independent horror. It's a thrill ride all the way through. Each director has very unique take on the subject and are all extreme in very different ways. Great twist in the tale by Hayles, Edwards has dark and comedic fun with his Feck, Marry, Kill, and Jake's big ending left me needing a shower and a hug. Great iMax fun at frightfest. Seedy, nasty, sexy entertainment at its best! A perfect film to share with the one you love on Valentine's day 💌

I really enjoyed this movie, each chapter full of twists and turns as it brings you face to face with a horror of the dark web and video on demand extremes. Each story is cleverly executed, captivating, and sends a real chill down your spine as the gritty and sinister plots unravel, with a great twisted overlaying story tying them all together in a brutally scary and dark package. This film is a definite ten, it binds together feels from Hostel and Saw, as well as bringing a fresh edge that really.puts it in a class of its own. Midnight Peepshow feels premium production quality at all times and introduces us to some incredible stars of the future within the cast as well as the production and writers team. I hope to see a lot more from them.

A cool custom Valentine's anthology for seekers of a little exploitation on the sadistic side. Wasn't sure what this was going to be when I fired it up, but the interesting artwork cover, synopsis, and name meant I was sure to check it out. As expected, it is a little on the cheap side for production technicals, but not at all bad. For example, the audio was kind of unclear or muffly for the voice in several parts, so I found myself having to skip back a few times to figure out what was said. More importantly, I cared what was being said enough to skip it back and pick it up. The acting, costuming, and visuals are all highly passable, if not great in some sequences for this type and budget of film, with a small number of cheap props that stood out a bit. I found it quite entertaining on the whole, along with its darker Alice in Wonderland artistical bits to tell its story arc. This is probably not going to be a first pick for mainstreamers, but certainly something I will watch again with my niche-horror seeking friends. IMO, a good Valentine's day-themed sadistic offering to check out if your taste includes the likes of American Mary (2012), May (2002) and Excision (2012).

A clever plot, dark story with a few twists and very atmospheric. I like the shots around the Soho backstreets and homage to the old peepshows. Four very talented directors giving something for everyone and a nice touch with the legend Zach Galligan being involved. There was also great humour at times giving a nice balance. I enjoyed the acting, especially from the lead role and her journey through the film. It's a good length packing a lot in, in a short time keeping everything moving at a fast pace. Finally the cinematography was excellent really driving the look and feel of the film. I'm looking forward to seeing more work from these directors in the future and really enjoyed it!
