The Dark Side of Midnight

this movie was great. it had everything like: killing, teenage girls and mustaches, mustaches, mustaches! did i mention the mustaches? if you love to look at mustaches then buy this movie. but mustaches aside, this movie is so funny. there are some great one liners in this. DUMBEST COPS EEEEEEEVER. i dont care watch anyone says , this is not a horror film....nor is it trying to be one. its more of a suspence thriller/comedy. honestly, they couldnt have been serious about this movie. check it out.

The Dark Side of Midnight is one of my Favorite Horror movies from the 80's. Very Creepy with very good plot and Acting. The Movie tells a very Good Story: A Detective trying to Stop a Killer known as The Creeper (Guess how I got my name). I must tell you that this Movie is NOT scary; and it Doesn't intend to be. Yes, it is a Horror Movie, but more of a "Silence of the Lambs" type of Horror.

I would like to think that Any horror fan would enjoy and love this Film. I highly recommend that you see it.

My Rating: 10 out of 10

People who liked this movie might like: Puppet Master, Nightmare on elm street, Halloween, and Night of the living dead.

Wes Olsen's "The Dark Side of Midnight" is a pure garbage that can be pretty amusing,if you're in the right mood.The police in a small town of Fort Smith have one confrontation after another with an evil and vicious killer called The Creeper.This film is so boring and lifeless that you'll need some fresh air after watching it.The acting is hideous and the gore is awful.And yes,the cops here are incredibly dumb and provide some laughs.Check it out,if you enjoy Troma films.However if you're a casual horror fan avoid this mindless junk like the plague.

The Dark Side of Midnight,I thought was great.Don't get me wrong it's not scary or gory but I still think it's great.I love low and no budget films where creativity is nonessential and there are no polished results.

Wes Olsen was awesome as the non charismatic detective Brock Johnson,I think this movie was the basis for CSI,as Brock was so scientific in his detecting and his dialogue recitation.The way he walks,talks and runs away from danger.And the ending is priceless!!

The Police Chief was great too,although he seemed to swallow a bit of the dialogue in each of his scenes.

The Lt. was awesome too,wasn't he the singer in jefferson starship?

The Mayor,what a great mustache!!

but then again even I had a mustache in 1984,please see this film,you wont regret it....too much,aj

In the early 1980s there was a glut of slashers. Almost any given weekend a new one was released. Many of these have become classics, many more are forgotten to most but the die hard fans. And then there is The Dark Side of Midnight.

This police procedural (in the loosest sense) focuses on the return of the Detroit Creeper, a killer who has been living in a chest in attic of a young boys family!

The Creeper begins murdering babysitters and also the young boy. Meanwhile, the police are trying to capture him despite the corrupt mayor hindering their every move.

Full of the cheesiest acting you ever have seen, The Dark Side of Midnight is absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately, with almost no gore or nudity, it feels like a made for tv movie.

Despite these flaws, The Dark Side of Midnight is immensely fun in how inept it is. Trash fans should seek this out, it is far better than other troma slasher pick-ups like Shadows Run Black.
