After Midnight

Directed by Jeremy Gardner, Christian Stella

Ten years into his small-town, storybook romance with Abby, Hank suddenly wakes up to an empty home. With nothing but a cryptic note to explain why she left, Hank’s charmed life begins to fall apart. To make matters worse, Abby’s disappearance seems to trigger the arrival of a ferocious creature that crawls out of the old grove on the edge of his property. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

When Abby leaves Hank, it seems to trigger the arrival of a ferocious creature.

Cast: Jeremy Gardner, Brea Grant, Henry Zebrowski, Justin Benson

Watch this one with a friend so you can riff your way through it... the windup is long and tough just to get to what is essentially a one-off punchline. Would have been a funny 20 minute short; as a film it is a brutal slog with a minimal payoff. The beer swilling scene is funny though. Wade is the best part of this movie. :)

This movie is pretty great. It is an audacious combination of two kinds of films that never quite gel into each other, and oddly, I think it is stronger for it.  Gardner is a compelling presence on screen, and the story is determined not to give easy answers or explain itself. It’s funny, it’s scary, it’s sweet, and it’s weird. Highly enjoyable follow-up from the same team who made THE BATTERY.

Not horror. One monster in the last act is not horror, should have been a comedy starring the side characters (redheaded dude and his wife). The only horror was for us going through the agony of watching pointless flashback scenes(50% of the movie) and singing an ENTIRE karaoke song (He did have a lovely singing voice though). Worst filler ever. Not horror.

If you want a horror that turns into a deep cut romance about compromise its a good one lol

Very interesting film, I thought her leaving him for a time with no explanation was just cruel, and her excuse was so selfish.
