After Midnight Audience Reviews

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
loomis78-815-989034 Three part anthology film has a wraparound story dealing with a class of College students taking a course in fear. The somewhat crazy professor (Zada) invites any member of the class to join him at his house for a special session dealing with real fear. A handful show up and begin to tell the tales. The first story, 'The Old Dark House' concerns a couple that becomes stranded when their car breaks down. The only place around is an old mansion with a notorious history for murder. Kevin (McClure) is sure he doesn't want to go in, but is talked into it by his girlfriend Joan (Nadine Van Der Velde). Some spooky atmosphere and a great twist ending highlight this twisted tale. The middle tale; 'A Night on the Town' is about some preppy girls who run out of gas in the wrong part of town and are terrorized by a psycho derelict and his attack dogs. The third story; 'All Night Operator' centers around Alex (Helgenberger) a woman working for an all-night answering service. Working a graveyard shift alone, Alex is slowly terrorized by a caller who claims to have murdered one of their clients. The killer soon targets Alex next and the stalk and slash begins with a chilling ending. The wraparound ends with a twist as well with the frightened students and the crazy professor and is quite fun too. Writers/Directors Jim and ken Wheat serve up a fun anthology movie that is relatively bloodless. It instead goes for suspense, chills and clever storytelling and other than the weak middle story achieves it. Despite the PG-13 rating, this film ends up being entertaining and fun with the first and third stories having great twist endings that will leave a smile on your face.
atinder Fun teacher, making Person Wet him self in class lol, the teacher invites some if Collage Kids to his house after Midnight for some very scarystories.There were decent stories , nothing really stood in those story, I did like the first story and found a little funny.The second story. I didn't really like. I felt sorry for those dogs,I already forgot what the 3rd story was!, I hated the way the movie ended as really just started all over again.I hate those endingI give 5 out of 10
Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ After Midnight is a collection of tales from the late 80's that seems to have been forgotten about. I'm a sucker for the anthology format, and I had never heard of this one prior to renting it. Needless to say I couldn't wait to see if this was a hidden gem. Let me just say there is a reason I have never heard of it. After Midnight is a pitiful effort and a waste of time. Not one of these stories, nor the wraparound, have anything going for them. The best story is a haunted house tale starring Marc McClure but you'll know the twist if you're paying attention. The other two boring yawns, I mean yarns, are about a group of girls attacked by dogs and an answering service girl (Marg Helgenberger) being stalked by a psycho. The only positive thing I can say it that it features lots of people who have worked in the genre before. So around every corner you will see someone that either Freddy killed, or Pumpkinhead tore apart, or Jason skewered through a raft.
Rogelio Duron De La Garza Well...I liked this movie as a matter of fact, it was cool in its time and now a days its dated but its still spooky in some bits. Lets talk about the stories: The First one is about a couple who gets their car stalled in the road, in the middle of nowhere and they have to go and ask for the phone in an old house, did anyone say "cliche", now, everybody knows that its better to stay in the car, get something to use as a weapon in case of someone really attacking you and breaking the windows of the car and try to stay calm,sleep and wait till the next day when you can walk or wait for help, in this story they do the complete opposite and go to the house, Big mistake, but later you find out it was destined for them to go there and something horrible to happen. The second story talks about a problem that usually happens, women love to ask for directions, man doesn't, in this film 4 girls ask for directions in a place they don't know and to a guy so damn dirty that i wouldn't even give a dime to....of course they get in trouble..and big trouble...This story reminds me of that Emilio Estevez film about some guys getting lost on the bronx...man its creepy. The third one is a Twilight Zone must cause it has all the mood to a half hour show..about a girl that works at a call center and she gets harassed and someone starts to stalk her. The movie is O.K but its very surreal at th ending and then they show why it happened that way. ::::::::::::::SPOILER:::::::::::::::::: Its all about a LOOP HOLE IN TIME.......you can see it in Back to the future.
