This flick could only have been produced and underwritten by people who have no interest in film making other than its potential for making money. There was absolutely nothing new to see in "Midnight Hair." In fact, the poor, ridiculous title alone should've been enough to warn me away from it, but no, I just had to see where the Chinese were in relation to the vastly superior horror films emanating from South Korea and Japan.
While I was watching this movie, I imagined a conversation in a lobby somewhere between a producer, director and janitor who just happened to be sweeping up the environs at the time.
Producer: Hey, Director, I have a little money and I'd like to make a movie.
Director: Make a horror film. They're cheap to produce and, if you're lucky, the rewards are high.
Producer: Good. Here's a million dollars. Make sure the money has every cliche in the horror books so I can get my money back. Oh, and make sure the actors over-react in EVERY SCENE with open-mouthed stares and sloooooow walking so the audience will know they're seeing a horror film.
Janitor: Um, fellas, shouldn't your movie be, at least, original?
The producer whips out a gun and shoots the janitor dead.
Producer: Meddlesome insect! I'm in it for the money!
