Midnight Matinee is a curious slice of late '80s horror that thrives on its eerie atmosphere and unsettling pacing. Set against the backdrop of a small town's horror film festival, the film intertwines a chilling mystery with the residual trauma of a murder from the previous event. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, carry a certain grit that adds to the film's overall vibe. Performances vary; some are engaging, while others fall a bit flat, but they contribute to that small-town authenticity. There's an interesting duality in the townspeople's desire to celebrate horror despite their dark past. It’s this tension, alongside a creeping dread, that makes the film distinct. A gem for those into the nuances of festival-themed horror.
