Midnight Kiss

I am a lover of what's referred to by movie enthusiasts as "movies so bad, they're good", and MIDNIGHT KISS fits perfectly in that category for me. It's cheesy. The acting is so-so. The dialogue is amusing. There's some decent blood and gore effects. And it has vampires! My favorite horror movie monsters. Is my 7 rating too high? Probably to most people. But I was close to giving it an 8; it was that entertaining to me.

I gave this movie a 1 because they won't allow 0's or negative numbers. The acting is horrible, every character is a walking cliché. The dialog is so cheesy, at times you can see the actors trying not to laugh as they say their lines. Although is says it was done in 1993, the cast all look like they were extras in 80's cop shows like Miami Vice, and not in a good way. The stiff playing the vampire is so bad (acting and looking), you want him to die 10 minutes into the movie. Actually, you want them all to die, as soon as possible. I could break down many other plot points or scenes as to why they were awful, but I simply don't have the strength. Don't watch this movie, unless you enjoy bad movies.

Hotdamn, what a very cheesy vampire movie (there's only one vampire running around in it, by the way) that can't compete with its modest budgeted counterparts produced around the same time; think about the decent "Children Of The Night" (1991) and the so-so "Son Of Darkness: To Die For II" (1991). Nevertheless "Midnight Kiss" is a fun quickie with some boobies and gore (exploding head!), but that's about it. As an early nineties horror outing, "Midnight Kiss" does manage to entertain for most of its running time and it's worth a watch for vampire enthusiasts (I had fun with it and there's worse Z-grade vampire fodder out there). But if you're looking for a good horror movie, then best look elsewhere.

A must have in any video collection. It had some of the best B-rate actors; except for Gregory A. Greer, who I think was the one to save this movie from a total disaster. The Vampire played his role realistically with a touch of comedy in the face of immortal loneliness. The sad demise of Gregory's character was a turn-off but he was one actor you just had to rewind and watch again, again, and again. I would love to see him in a better movie sometime soon, but for now this awesome movie will work just fine.

Same old story: girl meets boy, boy bites girl, girl has uncontrollable desires to dress like a tramp and eat steak tartare. No special effects to speak of, and it looks like it was made for about $5. Gregory A. Greer is a stylin' vamp though. Neat little touches like how he sleeps in a body bag and wears a cross for an earring. Plus he's simply beautiful. Too bad this is the only movie he's been in (according to IMDB). I used one of my free rentals to get this, so I think I got my money's worth. 5 out of 10.

Firstly, let me say that I am lovin the Horror channel which is showing all kinds of obscure B movies. I saw Midnight Kiss last night and it really is an amalgamation of every cheesy movie cliché you can think of. The main female character is a tough hardworking cop who is recently divorced and wants to get back on the homocide team. She has to go for a drink with her pervy boss who takes her to a strip club (nice!) and then gets assigned to investigate the recent spate of murders where the attractive young female victims have all been drained of blood. But there's more! Her ex husband is the chief of homocide and she is assigned to be his partner but there are still sparks there. This film is the worst kind of chewing gum for the brain. The dialogue is completely predictable and testosterone filled and the plot is, well its pathetic quite frankly. The only saving grace is the hunky blond vamp but even he is.....wooden, and thats being kind.

Vampire movies seem to be broken into two categories these days. One is the woman gets bitten and turns into a vampire and a lot of horror ensues. Two is the woman gets bitten and then a lot of softcore sex ensues. After watching this movie in which it was category one, I long for category 2. This vampire movie was very dumb and I regret ever watching it.
