Midnight Movie

At a run down theater in a sleepy suburban town, a group of friends get together for a midnight screening of an early 1970s horror film. The director/star is thought to have died five years earlier in a psych ward massacre. But the detective and doctor who witnessed the aftermath of the bloodbath suspect that the director was not a victim, but the perpetrator of the killings and is still on the loose. What none of them understand is that he has enshrined his soul into the film itself. As the film starts, the kids heckle the old black-and-white scenes, but are jolted when the movie’s gruesome killer butchers one of their friends on screen! They realize that it is not the prank that they had hoped it was as they soon become the stars of the very movie they are watching on the screen. Caught between the world of reality and the screen’s flickering shadows, these unsuspecting viewers fight to stay alive in the locked theater. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)
