Heart of Midnight

About This Movie

Heart of Midnight is a real curiosity from the late '80s, blending drama and horror in a way that feels unsettling yet engrossing. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the atmosphere to build slowly, which makes the eventual revelations all the more jarring. The practical effects have that gritty charm of the time, and the performances, especially from the lead, really ground the more bizarre elements. Themes of trauma and uncovering family secrets resonate throughout. It’s interesting how the nightclub setting serves as both a character and a metaphor. There’s something deeply haunting about the way the film explores mental health, familial ties, and the darkness lurking just beneath the surface of our known realities.
