By focusing more on suspense and tension than gore, the brothers Ramsay (director Julius, writer Alston) have crafted an economical and effective alternative to the many disappointing big-budget entries into this genre. Feb 26, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The intersection between crime thriller and horror is an interesting place to be, even if it doesn't fully pay off in Midnighters. Jun 21, 2017 | Full Review…

Midnighters doesn't do anything that hasn't been done before, but it executes its formulae with a kind of cold-blooded focus that's consistently impressive and often downright unnerving. Dec 7, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

There's a tension in the script about what kind of film Midnighters is: it works best as a character-oriented crime thriller and is less effective when it veers into film noir or puzzle film tropes. Sep 19, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Midnighters is an unclever person's idea of a clever movie, or someone's attempt to prove they're clever only to unclever people. Apr 26, 2018 | Rating: 40/100 | Full Review…

Midnighters is an impressive screenwriting debut from A. Ramsay and a solid effort from J. Ramsay. However, Haney-Jardine and Essoe impress the most, stealing each scene and selling this Hitchcockian and Lynchian thriller. Mar 20, 2018 | Full Review…

The Ramsays still have a long way to go to match the Coens, but the endlessly fun "Midnighters" is one helluva step in the right direction. Mar 11, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Noir is a tough genre and I think it has been relegated to the lower budget market for quite some time now. In a world where your average multiplex movie costs over 100 million, a film like this struggles for existence. The film begins well and like every great Hitchcock film homage, it only gets complicated the further the film goes. If I had a gripe about the film, the performances a little uneven and the husbands arc wasn't overly convincing. The Ramsay team look to have bright future and you can see the Tv filmmaking shining through, not a bad thing in this modern era. They make the film work when it could have fallen to the side and failed miserably. There are quite a few tough scenes to watch here but the overall story works well and if you're a fan of the genre, you will find something here. 26/08/2018.
