Title: Clever premise but boring execution
Product review: "After Midnight" got so many great reviews I decided to buy a copy thinking it would be like Campfire Tales' Trilogy of Terror or even Tales From the Crypt.It was released in 1989 so I was looking forward to some 80's flavor.The premise had promise and the main story was clever but the three stories told in the midst of the main story were somewhat boring and about as scary as a white sheet thrown over someones head with the eyes cut out.Marg Helgenberger's performance and a performance by 80's teen icon Judie Aronson are the highlights of the lot. .It couldn't decide if it wanted to be a Tales From the Crypt clone or something more serious.Not bad if you haven't many other choices but I would never watch it twice~!
