After Midnight

POSITIVES…

  • The mixing of the romantic angle in the story, with the “there’s a monster out there to get you” plot, and the thematic structure of what it all means together, is an effective narrative that I liked.

  • I admire tackling the monster movie genre with a low budget. I like observing creative ways of not relying too much on expensive special effects.

  • Kudos to Jeremy Gardner for doing a lot of acting by himself a good chunk of the time. He also has a well done monologue to showcase his talent.

  • Supporting actress Brea Grant shines during a particular one-take dialogue scene between her and Gardner.

  • "Stay (I Missed You)" scene.

NEGATIVES…

  • Honestly didn’t really get going until about the time Henry Zebrowski’s character showed up.

  • Some people would argue that it never got going…

  • Pacing could be a little bit faster, and it’s just simply boring at times.

  • Doesn’t exactly pack enough of a punch to really keep my interest.

  • Tries to add some levity, but I don’t think it was as effective as they should have been.

  • Even at just about 83 minutes, it was much longer than it needed to be.

  • "Stay (I Missed You)" scene.
