At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

First, you don't play a bloody strange game out of nowhere without knowing the rules. Yet these 2 bloody dumbasses (sorry actor/actress, not your fault) dived straight into the crap hole.
Second, the other girl is totally dumb (my apology to the actress). You came to someone house during the night and the house was dark AF, really? Just stay at home and sleep.
Third, that cheap silicon masked man looks cheap af.

There is absolutely no point to the plot, and the acting is scarier than the concept. Skip this one, going to the dentist would be more of a pleasure.

Today people tend to claim a movie is a masterpiece and cinematic triumph or it is a total disaster, the worst movie I ever watched etc. The Midnight Man imho does not belong in either category, it is a small horror movie with a story-line based on a game that evokes a dark, evil entity and the price of the game is one's life and if one loses the game you get a fine cruel death. (Well, some dark souls could rightfully argue that a cruel death is still a kind of good reward, because, you know, who wants to die a common, total boring death!?) So, in short, for sure there is nothing new in the western front, but what we get are decent actors (Lin Shaye, Robert Englund, also the young actors do not disappoint) and a good production value with some nice value of gore and splatter and a good, dark atmosphere and a very bad guy. Yes, this movie is no Oscar material or made to be someday called cvlt, but The Midnight Man is a pro made movie and imo for the aficionado of horror a good snack in-between. My rate 5, maybe a 6.
