Despite having never seen the original "cut" of this recent low-budget cult hit, I feel as if the changes made to the film were minimal at best. "Midnight Movie" is a straightforward slasher with an atypical finale. The plot centers around this idea of a film within a film. Infamous filmmaker turned serial killer Ted Radford hacked down the entire cast of his 1970s cult film, "The Dark Beneath." Nearly three decades later, the movie is now taking on a life of its own. The film begins with Radford in a psych ward being shown a cut of his own work, which ultimately leads to a widespread massacre in the facility and Radford's disappearance. Fast forward to the present day, where we find Radford's film has come to life yet again unbeknownst to a small group of unsuspecting moviegoers.
