Midnight Peepshow

This is a pretty bad movie that is so slow, you'll be nodding off within 3 minutes. Who knew London had peep shows? I've been there a zillion times and never passed one.

No worries, since the movie itself makes no sense, why should the premise? It's really coming from the dreggs of movie making.

The unfolding is so convoluted I am hard-pressed to know what the over arching plot is, except that there appears to be this midnight peepshow that operates as an excuse for individual stories, all different, but appearing to be about deviant sex.

Only it's boring. And absolutely none of it makes any sense.

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).

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.

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.
