6/10
Elvira/Vera??? You do the math

The first thing i thought when i watched Midnight was... Elvira Mistress of the Dark RIP OFF. The big difference is that Elvira was released in 88 and Midnight in 89, they took Lynn Redgrave (RIP) as a horror hostess. She comes up the stage from a coffin with a bloody mary, snarls at her (extremely annoying) fans who repeat everything she says. And presents some unknown cheesy B movie of which you'll never see a clip or whatsoever, the plot might also might be a reminder of Elvira since in both films there's a problem with the budget and the hostess has to try to get the right amount of money to save her show. Anyway, Midnight's dick of a producer herrasses her because he wants to own the copyrights. Some goodlooking guy who pretends to be her biggest fan forces himself into her life etcetera etcetera, most of the movie is just a typical comedy with not that much of enjoyable content. Untill the last 30 minutes they turn the movie into a thriller, and that's when things start to get interesting. One more last thing, the only thing that doesn't turn Midnight into a complete Elvira clone is the fact that she's a loudmouthed witch, are you interested. Have a look at the movie, an akward blend between two genres.
