Midnight (1982)
I was expecting a little bit more horror from this glorified travelogue than is actually onscreen. The films director John Russo might have been the writer of Night of the Living Dead but Midnight suggests his real love affair is with the likes of Easy Rider and the great American road trip.
It starts off promisingly with a decent pre-credits sequence which offers hope but then any horror aspects are dropped until the final fifteen minutes. I was hoping for a bit of grubbiness and seedy film making...I hoped wrong.
