Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The Dark Side of Midnight,I thought was great.Don't get me wrong it's not scary or gory but I still think it's great.I love low and no budget films where creativity is nonessential and there are no polished results.Wes Olsen was awesome as the non charismatic detective Brock Johnson,I think this movie was the basis for CSI,as Brock was so scientific in his detecting and his dialogue recitation.The way he walks,talks and runs away from danger.And the ending is priceless!!The Police Chief was great too,although he seemed to swallow a bit of the dialogue in each of his scenes.The Lt. was awesome too,wasn't he the singer in jefferson starship?The Mayor,what a great mustache!!but then again even I had a mustache in 1984,please see this film,you wont regret it....too much,aj

The comments made about this movie are right on the button. It was made for about ten thousand dollars completely out of the directors pocket.Wes olson had played bit parts on a couple of TV shows including m.a.s.h. and figured he had the knowhow required to make a movie. I think his main problem was that he was to close to the production and could not stand back and see it as really was. His only sounding board was the camera man who was as inexperienced as he was.The actors were all from local community theater and had no experience working in front of a camera and it shows. We worked for nothing and Wes got what he payed for. The lead actress was so embarrassed she didn't want to see the movie. As for myself I had no thought that this would lead to anything so I just did the movie for the fun of it. The experience was worth the time it took and i would do it again, it makes a good story.If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to email me.

My friend managed to by a VHS copy of this movie in a car boot sale for 50 pence. The acting is very cheesy, some of the facial expressions are classic!. Warning even though this is a Troma films release, hardcore Troma fans will be disapointed cause of the lack of blood, gore and actual shock value. I think this movie has been deleted now but if your lucky enough to get hold of a copy watch it because it's the funniest film you might ever see.

The Dark Side of Midnight is one of my Favorite Horror movies from the 80's. Very Creepy with very good plot and Acting. The Movie tells a very Good Story: A Detective trying to Stop a Killer known as The Creeper (Guess how I got my name). I must tell you that this Movie is NOT scary; and it Doesn't intend to be. Yes, it is a Horror Movie, but more of a "Silence of the Lambs" type of Horror.I would like to think that Any horror fan would enjoy and love this Film. I highly recommend that you see it.My Rating: 10 out of 10People who liked this movie might like: Puppet Master, Nightmare on elm street, Halloween, and Night of the living dead.
