Midnight Devils (2019)
If you're simpley looking for a way to lose brain cells, beat youself over the head witha hammer. It will be faster and less painful.
There is a differance between amateur and independent. This is the former.
Let's begin with the fact that Michael Berryman is only in the movie for 2 minutes. For that reason, I feel lied to and cheated. But let's move on. Other than Berrymore, the only decent acting is done by a 7-year-old girl; eveyone else is horrible.
The writers/directors of this film should not be allowed to own a camera, as by the sound quality they are not alloed to own a mic. I honestly believe with all of my being, that said writers/directors want to be stars and the only way they can accomplish this with their poor(being kind) acting skills is if they make their own movie. And so they did. Sorta. Can this legally be called a movie?
The other "actors" are nearly as bad and here is why. This was one of those indie movies where you can pay a certain amount and get a role. My guess is that everyone paid to be in the movie as there is no acting skills whatsoever. Really, I could pick up a homeless man and a crackhead and have better actors.
The writing was credited to Abel Berry and Jennifer Stone. In actuality, Stone and Berry got high and left the script open on their laptop; their cat crawled across the keyboard. Berry and Stone awoke the next morning, read what was written, and thought, "Damn, we need to get high and write more often. This is bank."
I'll leave with this; at 31 minutes in, the "gangsters" attack a house. They attack at night, no arguing that. Inside, as can clearly be seen by the bright sunlight through the window, it is day. Amateur, not independent.
