A few weeks back we showed you a few low-res posters for Jack Messitt’s MIDNIGHT MOVIE (check ’em out HERE ). Over the weekend, Messitt shot us the full set of one-sheets in higher resolution for us all to enjoy. If you liked the posters before, you’re gonna love these!
MIDNIGHT MOVIES sounds fun on all accounts–check this out: set in a suburban theater, a bunch of young people gather for the titular screening of THE DARK BENEATH, a stalker flick from the ’70s. They soon find out the hard way that its evil director/star, presumed dead in an asylum massacre, actually lives on in his own feature, and emerges from the screen to murder the kids and drag them into the film.
I"m surprised as hell an idea like this hasn’t been explored yet as it’s a premise that makes too much sense not to be awesome. If you’re like me and dying to check this flick out, have no fear–it’s hitting the following film festival circuits over the next couple of weeks–check ’em out:

There are so many options around the country to check this flick out that there’s really no excuse for you not to catch a screening… that is, unless you don’t live anywhere near these areas, then you’ll just have to wait for it to hit DVD this January. We were also told that a ‘limited theatrical release’ may be coming our way in October as well, as stick around for more details on that and enjoy the new posters!
