I recently watched Dead by Midnight (2022) on Tubi. This modernized horror anthology blends comedy, horror, gore, and iconic horror superstars, offering a mix of storylines, commercials, and other random, fun content.

Crafted by numerous horror directors known for their expertise in short films, the cast includes Kane Hodder (Hatchet), Bill Moseley (House of 1,000 Corpses), Hannah Fierman (V/H/S), Hannah Alline (The Hunt), and Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead).

This movie is quite erratic. Similar to most horror anthologies, the content varies, but in this case, it oscillates between being bad and really bad. I enjoyed the commercials featuring Kane Hodder the most. While the dialogue is hilarious at times, the use of CGI gore and blood in some segments falls flat. There are standout moments, like the humorous "bag of dicks" commercial and some well-executed gore and surgery scenes that deserved a 10/10. On the flip side, there are segments that rate a dismal 1/10 and are painfully bad.

In conclusion, Dead by Midnight is a below-average horror anthology primarily catering to diehard horror enthusiasts. I'd give it a 4/10 and suggest considering other options.

It's pretty lazy. The writing is mediocre. They cliche'd the tropes. The jokes are stale and stolen from YouTube. I was honestly surprised to find out it wasn't a Netflix movie. Exposition by way of poor dialogue. Inane "plot" lines. It's go Kane Hodder in it with a speaking role, make of that what you will.

Overall it feels like people pretending to ironically like horror schlock while actually trying (but failing) to make a good movie. They borrowed pretty much everything and did it so poorly. But the images look good, but technology shouldn't be mistaken for talent. ........................................................................................................................................................................................remove the 600 char or I'll sign you up for Bag'o D.
