Midnight Movie

Low-budget horror directed by Jack Messitt. At a rundown cinema in a quiet suburban town, a group of teenagers attend the midnight screening of a 1970s cult horror film, unaware that the film's director and star escaped from a psychiatric ward five years earlier and are on the loose. As the midnight movie begins, the kids heckle its old black-and-white scenes - but they are brought up with a jolt when the killer appears to butcher one of their friends onscreen. They soon realise that they are locked inside the theatre with only the crazed killer for company.
