Midnight Monster [DVD]
(Alana Dro, Brinke Stevens, Jonathan Nation, Richard During, et al / DVD / NR / 2026 / Wild Eye Releasing)

Overview: Midnight Monster descends into psychological horror where the line between fear and memory collapses. Plagued by psychic visions, a troubled woman begins to manifest a hideous creature inside her bedroom closet.

As the entity grows stronger, it forces her to relive the buried trauma of her childhood - memories she’s long tried to suppress. The more she resists, the more the monster feeds, until she must confront the nightmare she’s created or be destroyed by it.

Bonus materials include an in-depth interview with actress Alana Dro, behind-the-scenes image gallery, original trailer, and more - an essential addition for fans of horror that creeps under the skin rather than just splashes across it.

DVD Verdict: Blending psychological dread with supernatural terror, Midnight Monster draws inspiration from modern genre touchstones like The Babadook, The Entity, and Saint Maud. Its horror is as much internal as external, pulling viewers through an intimate battle between the human mind and the shadows it summons.

I have to say that my friends and I sat down with this horror flick last Saturday not expecting much but ended up with half-eaten Chinese food and beer still in our cans as we were all pretty much transfixed on this flick from start to finish!

The acting is well above par, especially from the lead actress, and the bloody gore flashing scenes are up there with some of the best, the actual Midnight Monster creature itself a massively impressive creation, in and unto itself.

Starring legendary Scream Queen Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre), Joycelyne Lew (Fatal Beauty), and Alana Dro, the film delivers a haunting exploration of guilt, repression, and survival.

Directed by cult filmmaker Dustin Ferguson (Apex Predators, Mega Ape) and Andy Qualtrough, this eerie thriller embraces atmospheric minimalism and psychological unease over jump scares, offering a horror experience steeped in mood and metaphor.
