AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
HumanoidOfFlesh Three young Italian girls go to spend a weekend at an isolated beach house and end up getting humiliated and raped by trio of young criminals.They will soon get bloody revenge..."Midnight Blue" is perhaps the most obscure and overlooked Italian rape and revenge flick.It's pretty slow-moving,but it should appeal to fans of films such "Late Night Trains","Terror Express","Last House on the Beach" or "House on the Edge of the Park".There is plenty of sleaze and full-frontal nudity and few nasty set-pieces,but the score by Stelvio Cipriani is too cheesy and melodramatic.There is also not enough intense terror for my liking.Three girls don't get treated that badly or at least it doesn't feel like they do because of the overwhelming lack of enthusiasm from most of the actors.A generous 7 out of 10.
jfgibson73 This is a cheap looking Italian drama about three girls who are taken hostage by three criminals. It really isn't that interesting, although there are a couple of enjoyable moments. The girls take revenge and kill the dudes cold, but that isn't where it ends. The final sequence is one of the only parts that leave an impression.I stumbled on this movie by accident and watched it once. There were some lengthy sequences that did not keep my attention. It was gritty and poorly lit, and not very scenic.It starts out kind of carefree, as the three girls are on a vacation bus with a group, but stay behind from the rest to hang out at a beach house. They meet three men and it's kind of cozy for a while. The movie changes tone midway when the girls find out the men are wanted.
Coventry There! One quick glimpse at this user-comments subject line and experienced horror/cult cinema fanatics immediately know what type of exploitation movie we're dealing with here! Wes Craven's horror landmark "Last House on the Left" spawned a copious amount of cheaply made and rapidly edited imitations (mainly Italian ones) and "Midnight Blue" is easily the most forgettable one of them all. Actually this film already righteously resides in oblivion and only crazed smut-freaks, like myself, are stupid enough to dig it back up. "Midnight Blue" features the exact same story lines as all the other revenge films, except one of the female rape victims in this film is a practicing javelin thrower so you already know beforehand which attribute she'll use to extract her vengeance. Three young girls (not the world's sexiest ones, I may add) unwisely separate themselves from the rest of their group of touring athletes to spend extra vacation time in a house near a private beach. Whilst sunbathing topless, three men approach them in the hope to score a bit of random and casual sex and they do; even though two of them are old and downright hideous looking. Numerous gratuitous sex-sequences later, one of the girls coincidentally discovers the three are in fact fugitive criminals who needed a hideout place. When her attempt to signal the police fail, the three reveal their true malignant nature. Physical abuse, violence, humiliation and – eventually – retribution inevitably ensues… Not much to speak about here, "Midnight Blue" is completely mundane and by-the-numbers late 70's exploitation product. There's not even the slightest at building up tension, the cinematography looks ugly and the girls have more hair on their intimate areas than the average gorilla has over its entire body. Director Raimondo Del Balzo's input (who?) is entirely unnoticeable and none of the cast members has any other significant movie title on their repertoires. Not too hard to see why that is.
ccmiller1492 Three college girls out of a group on a tour decide against advice to detour for a weekend at a relative's posh villa. While on their private beach they are accosted by three young men. Since two of them Pier Luigi (Cantafora) and Bruno (Prete) are good-looking the girls unwisely invite them to stay for the weekend. It soon transpires that these men are not as well-behaved as they at first seemed. On a trip to the market one of the girls buys a newspaper and on the front page is an article showing the three men as escaped convicts all convicted of violent offenses, including murder. But Pier Luigi catches her trying to phone a warning to the other girls back at the villa. When they return to the villa the ugliness, violence and abuse begin. But these girls are in training for women's Olympic events: one of them throws javelins, so they have a few moves of their own in store for the vicious thugs. Midnight Blue is an improvement over the similar but much nastier "Last House on the Beach" of the previous year. It is still an unsettling and uneasy film to watch with tense fascination. You will want to know how it all turns out. Cantafora and Prete are memorable, as usual, even in these unlovely roles.
