Cinco de Mayo got a killer dose of excitement, as cast, filmmakers, and special celebrity guests got glam for the world premiere of Jack Messitt’s MIDNIGHT MOVIE: THE KILLER CUT. Before hitting the red carpet at Bigfoot Crest Theater, cast members like Brea Grant, Rebekah Brandes, Daniel Bonjour, Dinora Walcott, Ashley Black, and Christopher Page started the night off in a unique way with a Pub Crawl at Westwood Brew Co. There they enjoyed food and drinks, chatting it up with writer/director Jack Messitt, Bigfoot Entertainment chairman Michael Gleissner (Director, Midnight Movie Executive Producer, actor), Bigfoot Entertainment’s CEO Kacy Andrews (Midnight Movie Producer), Bigfoot’s Christian Meoli, and more.
Causing a sensational scene, the group made their way down Westwood Blvd. to the awaiting Red Carpet photographers. The gorgeous girls of “Midnight Movie,” shined on the red carpet including Melissa Steach, Mandell Maughan, and stunning supermodel Laury Prudent. In support of the world premiere, award-winning filmmaker Joe Arias, pop artist Rosie Okumura, and actress Victoria Cruz attended. The talented men of “Midnight Movie” rocked the red carpet including Jon Briddell, Michael Swan, Justin Baric, Arthur Roberts, and Michael Schwartz.
According to Examiner.com, the audience at the world premiere was in for a “entertaining rollercoaster-spookhouse-ride of a film!” In the “killer cut” revision of Jack Messitt’s award winning horror film, “Midnight Movie,” can finally be seen as intended. With new and enhanced visual effects, never before seen footage and extended scenes, what Movieweb.com called “a true modern day horror classic” just got better. With an “atmosphere that oozes dread” (Blu-Ray.com), “Midnight Movie” is “a gory and fast paced good time” (DreadCentral.com).
“Midnight Movie: Killer Cut,” winner of Best Feature Film & Best Cinematography at the Chicago Horror Film Festival, tells the tale of a midnight screening of a 1970s cult horror film. The film becomes a bloodbath after the members of the audience see one of their friends butchered on the big screen, and quickly surmise that there’s a madman in the theater who seeks to slaughter them all.
