Redundant and unnecessary.
It is a performances centric movie
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
View MoreThree young Italian girls go to spend a weekend at an isolated beach house and end up getting humiliated and raped by trio of young criminals.They will soon get bloody revenge..."Midnight Blue" is perhaps the most obscure and overlooked Italian rape and revenge flick.It's pretty slow-moving,but it should appeal to fans of films such "Late Night Trains","Terror Express","Last House on the Beach" or "House on the Edge of the Park".There is plenty of sleaze and full-frontal nudity and few nasty set-pieces,but the score by Stelvio Cipriani is too cheesy and melodramatic.There is also not enough intense terror for my liking.Three girls don't get treated that badly or at least it doesn't feel like they do because of the overwhelming lack of enthusiasm from most of the actors.A generous 7 out of 10.
View MoreThis is a cheap looking Italian drama about three girls who are taken hostage by three criminals. It really isn't that interesting, although there are a couple of enjoyable moments. The girls take revenge and kill the dudes cold, but that isn't where it ends. The final sequence is one of the only parts that leave an impression.I stumbled on this movie by accident and watched it once. There were some lengthy sequences that did not keep my attention. It was gritty and poorly lit, and not very scenic.It starts out kind of carefree, as the three girls are on a vacation bus with a group, but stay behind from the rest to hang out at a beach house. They meet three men and it's kind of cozy for a while. The movie changes tone midway when the girls find out the men are wanted.
View MoreI'm a big fan of these films about people being held captive by a group of sadistic criminals and have been known to give out higher ratings than necessary at times. The likes of The Last House on the Left, House on the Edge of the Park, Death Weekend and Fight for Your Life are the best of the 'genre', with films such as The Last House on the Beach somewhere behind. Midnight Blue is a completely obscure entry, and that's hardly surprising since it's also not a very good one, in spite of some decent ideas. The plot is really quite routine, and focuses on three female athletes who are spending their summer holiday at a beach house. They are hit on by three men, who the girls begin spending time with. The six engage in sexual relations etc and everything seems well until one of the girls goes into town with one of the men and buys a newspaper; the front page of which reports three prison escapees, and features three pictures of the same men! The men hold the girls captive in the house, but being athletes, they have a few tricks up their sleeves...You can't expect too much deviation from the norm with films like this, but Midnight Blue is perhaps just a bit too routine for its own good. The final third does provide some entertainment as the girls turn the tables; but obviously this happened previously in superior films such as The Last House on the Left, so the film doesn't get many points for originality. Midnight Blue is rather gritty and director Raimondo Del Balzo is successful in creating a grim and foreboding atmosphere, which excellently compliments the plot. The locations used are rather bland, which isn't too surprising considering that this film was clearly a cheap production. The acting is not up too much, and the film really does lack a David Hess type figure - the guy with the moustache isn't quite up to standard. The best idea in the film features a javelin throwing lass who spearheads the revenge on the escaped convicts. This works fairly well, although again the film could have done with a bit more variety. I will say that this film is just about worth a look; but considering its obscurity, it's not really worth tracking down.
View MoreThree college girls out of a group on a tour decide against advice to detour for a weekend at a relative's posh villa. While on their private beach they are accosted by three young men. Since two of them Pier Luigi (Cantafora) and Bruno (Prete) are good-looking the girls unwisely invite them to stay for the weekend. It soon transpires that these men are not as well-behaved as they at first seemed. On a trip to the market one of the girls buys a newspaper and on the front page is an article showing the three men as escaped convicts all convicted of violent offenses, including murder. But Pier Luigi catches her trying to phone a warning to the other girls back at the villa. When they return to the villa the ugliness, violence and abuse begin. But these girls are in training for women's Olympic events: one of them throws javelins, so they have a few moves of their own in store for the vicious thugs. Midnight Blue is an improvement over the similar but much nastier "Last House on the Beach" of the previous year. It is still an unsettling and uneasy film to watch with tense fascination. You will want to know how it all turns out. Cantafora and Prete are memorable, as usual, even in these unlovely roles.
