About This Movie
Midnight Shade, released in 1990, is a curious entry in the horror genre that presents a rather grim view of rural Thai life. The atmosphere is thick with dread, particularly during those full moon nights where the transformation occurs. You can almost feel the tension building as the villagers react to the unspeakable horrors unfolding. The practical effects, while not always polished, provide a raw quality that enhances its disturbing themes of violence and madness. The pacing is uneven, but it contributes to a sense of unease. The performances are intense, especially from the lead, who delivers a chilling portrayal of a man trapped in his monstrous alter ego. It's not what you'd call refined, but there's something oddly compelling about its brutality.
