The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

After Midnight (1989)

Starring: Marge Helgenberger, Pam Adlon, Judie Aronson, Marc McClure
Director: Jim Wheat and Ken Wheat

Premise:
A college professor who teaches a course on fear invites students over to his home for a night of tales.

My Take:
When the wrap around builds up that the stories are going to some of the most frightening ever, then it had better come close to delivering. The movie does not. The stories include a couple who's care breaks down in the middle of nowhere and they must seek help in an abandoned house, a group of young girls find themselves lost in the wrong part of town, and stalker comes to visit a worker at an answering service.
