There's not a lot of flair to the direction of Midnighters – the 90-minute thriller debut from Julius Ramsay (The Walking Dead) and Alston Ramsay (a/k/a The Ramsay Brothers) - and that's for the best. Julius' background in TV - as both an editor and director for the hit zombie series - explains how this Hitchcockian piece of pulp turned out so proficiently workmanlike. Every shot feels like it's working in service to the script this new filmic duo co-wrote together, which blends a "wrong place/wrong time" set up with the murky morality of neo noirs such as Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan ('98). It’s a story-first approach that yields one of the brisker, twistier low budget chillers in recent memory, fit for a dime store paperback you'd buy at a boardwalk pharmacy.
This horror movie-inspired virtual pinball table is a bloody good time (sorry).

Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the premiere of Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die with my ride-or-die best mates, and let me tell you, it was one of the most fun cinema experiences of the year! From the quality of the movie to the electrifying vibe of the cinema, everything about the night was extraordinary. The communal laughter, the spontaneous shouting at the screen—it was an experience that almost rivalled having an entire cinema to myself.
