NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Blazehgehg The Midnight Hour is a little slow, a little cheesy, and a little saccharine, but it evokes the Halloween mood well.The moments that really stand out in this movie are the moments where it does finally push the boundaries a little bit -- when it stops being "wacky Halloween fun for the whole family" and actually tries to be a little bit violent, or scary, or even racy. Who knew Levarr Burton could play such a stereotypical horny teen? The overall movie may not stand out in my mind, but these individual moments do (and it's always interesting when a made-for-TV movie tries to find a way around showing blood while still evoking the imagery of blood). The way the movie progressively gets just a little darker, and a little darker, etc. is pretty interesting to watch, too. In modern times, a lot of things make this movie feel very dated, though. Phil (the protagonist)'s weird Dracula costume, for one, with the bizarre face paint and tinsel wig. That just screams 1985. Two, the movie's obsession with "golden oldie" music; it's been at least a decade or more since all of the oldies stations I know about updated their selection to include songs from the same era this movie was produced in (you have to turn your radio's dial to AM to hear anything made before 1975, these days -- assuming you even still HAVE a radio).And it's not just that these elements make the movie dated, it's that they're spun in such a way as to be things "modern teens" relate to. Even the way Levarr Burton's character speaks, with that sort of hold-over "jive" slang, feels distinctly 1980's in a way that nobody talks anymore. It feels like an older director was trying to bridge two generations (his and the next), which leaves us in the modern era out of the equation.Don't get me wrong, it's still enjoyable. The first time I watched this movie was in 2016. But it's important to watch this movie and think about the context it was shown in, because it's a context that doesn't exist anymore.Come for the fun costumes and special effects, stay the moments where the movie threatens to bend its family-friendly content rules. Just also remember: it was the 80's.

Beechman This was a really good Halloween movie that pretty much anyone could watch and enjoy. It is quite a few steps above todays weak plot, whack 'em and hack 'em Halloween movies and all their predictable "don't open that door" scare scenes. It offers something for everyone; some comedy, teen romance, a couple of scares and a great musical scene reminiscent of Michale Jackson's Thriller near the end of the movie. It should be a cult movie. I would watch it every Halloween. I look for it every year around this time, but in recent years have been very disappointed that it has not been on. There is a good cast, with Lavar Burton in one of the starring roles.

obiemookie I am a huge horror movie fan...and normally "Made for TV Movies" based on Halloween or horror usually stink (either because of lack of money, lack of real scares and/or gore...lack of plot...etc)...The Midnight Hour, on the other hand, is a great little Made for TV Horror movie!I remember seeing this film when it first aired in 1985...and just falling in love with it. At that point, I had just discovered "Dawn of the Dead", and was really into the whole "Dead coming back to life" type of movie...and this one really hits the mark. Admittedly, it's tame compared to movies released with an R rating...but it's an incredible movie that both kids and adults can enjoy! And, it's VERY creepy in parts...especially when the two leads are driving through the town square, which has become inhabited by the living dead.After seeing it the first time in 85, I watched for it every year afterwards...only seeing it rarely. Kind of a disappointment that it wasn't on a lot...but it did make it more special when it WAS on. How happy was I when, about 5 years ago, I found a VHS copy of it in the local video store! I bought a copy, and now get to watch it whenever I want (well...at Halloween anyway).Let's face it...this movie can probably be seen as kind of cheesy in that it was made in the 80's...we really didn't know how to dress back then! But it has great music (especially the song "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths. Its inclusion happens at a very cool part of the movie), some really good scares...and is a pretty cool movie to watch after coming home from trick or treating on Halloween! If you're looking for a movie where people get ripped apart, swear a lot, show nudity...this isn't going to be the one for you. But if you'd like a fun movie, that is creepy, and has a good story (well, aside from the whole werewolf thing...THAT kind of throws me every time I watch it)...then pick up this one!
