The Beast Comes at Midnight

The Beast comes at midnight.: 8 out of 10

I went to the premiere of an independent movie called The Beast comes at midnight.

Right off the bat, I was pleasantly surprised. When it comes to Independent films, you know they don't have multi-million dollar budgets. And in a lot of cases the film suffers for it. But then you come across certain individuals that know how to do great things with less. This film had some great cinematography. It showcases some beautiful landscapes of Florida. The actors had great chemistry with one another.

There was a lot of sarcastic humor. Now anybody that knows me knows I am a very sarcastic person.. Lol. I found myself laughing almost through the whole movie. The script was well written. They brought out a very interesting take to the old classic werewolf, showing a different way and how the werewolf gains his power. A lot of the actors of course are unknowns but they did a great job. Once again the chemistry between the actors was great. Then you get to see a few known actors.

Like Eric Roberts. Who has been in numerous movies, such as my favorite. Best of the best. Where he plays a martial artist named Alex Grady. You also had Michael Pere who's also been in a lot of movies but best known for playing the character of Eddie Wilson in the Eddie and the cruisers movies. Then you had the big man himself former WWE Superstar Gene Snitsky. And although his part in this movie is brief, it felt like it was definitely necessary for the storyline. Gene plays a great lunatic. LOL.

If you get a chance to see the film, you should definitely go check it out. Especially if you like the old classic horror movies growing up. Like I did. I think you'd really enjoy this movie.

I watched this when it came on streaming and enjoyed it quite a bit. A small, independent film out of Florida, it features Eric Roberts and Michael Pare in roles that support an entertaining and likable cast. It's about a werewolf that comes to town, and the nerdy teen who has to figure out how to stop it. Like all good monster movies, they save the reveal of the fully transformed werewolf for the end. The lighting and camerawork were all top notch, evoking just the right mood and tension. This is not a film by a major studio, but I would definitely say give it a try. It looks like was fun to make, and that comes across as an entertaining film to watch.

If you enjoy the movie "Monster Squad" you will enjoy "The Beast Comes At Midnight". It's a fun and scary movie that the whole family can watch. The film also reminds me of the classic Universal Monster movies. The werewolf creature looks awesome! The main cast of characters are likable and they all have great chemistry together. I can imagine them dealing with other monsters for future films. I would love to see a sequel that introduces new monsters. Maybe introducing Dracula, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and some of the other classic monsters would be a lot of fun. I will enjoy watching this film every Halloween!

This was a pretty good family friendly movie with a ton of funny one liners. The music fit the mood of the movie so well for just about every scene. The first half or so of the movie seemed pretty creepy and almost forgot it was a kid friendly movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I loved seeing Eric Roberts and Michael Pare. They played both of their roles so well as did everyone else. The ending was so awesome and looks like they set it up to have a sequel. I sure hope so because I don't want to be left hanging at the end like that. It could go in so many directions and the possibilities are almost endless for a sequel to this movie.

You don't always get to see Indie horror flicks so well crafted. But from start to finish this film delivers. Everyone from the veteran cast (Pare and Roberts) to the youthful cast really turn in stellar performances. It harkens back for me personally to a lot of great 80's horror movies that I loved. The films colors reminded me of the great Lost Boys, while the teen themes have a solid foundation in The Monster Squad. This is a really fantastic outing, and I for one can not wait to see what this great production team from Florida puts out next! Make sure you check this one out though. It is pretty epic.
