Midnight Peepshow

Right, well had I known that the 2022 movie "Midnight Peepshow" was a horror anthology, I might have skipped on it entirely. It is so rare that a horror anthology is actually fully worth sitting through.

However, I had already started on watching "Midnight Peepshow" when I realized that it was a horror anthology, and I still opted to give it a fair chance.

The stories in "Midnight Peepshow" were not overly great. However, they were made bearable to sit through given some adequate acting performances. So writers Andy Edwards, Airell Anthony Hayles and Jake West didn't exactly bring anything grand to the table. Semi-watchable, sure, but not overly impressive.

But hey, if you enjoy sexual depravity and deviancy, then you might be in for a treat here. I can't really claim that I found that particularly interesting.

I wasn't familiar with the actors and actresses on the cast list. But they had a good ensemble of talents on the cast list, and I will say that the actors and actresses actually put on a good performances, despite of the contents of the script being rather bland.

The production value of "Midnight Peepshow" also helped to keep the anthology afloat.

My rating of "Midnight Peepshow" lands on a four out of ten stars.

This anthology saves the best for last as a wealthy investor receives more than he bargained for when he is lured into the dark web of a fantasy site called Black Rabbit.

The first story was my least favorite as an unhappy couple suffer the consequences of an apparent home invasion. Things are not as they first appear.

It improves with F-Marry-Kill as a woman in some kind of a dungeon must make that choice with three men in shock collars who are part of a sadistic game in which the lady must complete three tasks in order to survive.

The old message of be careful what you wish for is delivered with verve and I recommend Midnight Peepshow.

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 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.

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.
