The Movie "Midnight" (2021) Is An Underrated Masterpiece, Here Is Why

The movie "Midnight" (2021) is a short thriller. It was released on Jun. 30, 2021. The movie was shown in cinemas and the online video was released on the platform TVING.

The filming began in 2019. The movie was supposed to release in 2020 but the COVID-19 outbreak brought a delay in its release.

The phenomenally shot movie, though, unfortunately, did not receive much appreciation at its release. Though after the leading actor, Wi HaJun rose to fame with "Squid Game", "Midnight" became known to many. 

"Midnight" is also available on iQIYI and here is why you must watch it right now! The content below contains some spoiler. 

 

1. The Story Line Of Midnight

The story of "Midnight" follows the concept of a cat and mouse chase. KyungMi (played by Jin KiJoo) is a sign language counselor at a call center, being deaf herself. One night she stumbles upon a crime scene only to be trapped in the wrath of a serial killer, DoShik (played by Wi HaJun). To eradicate any clues left of his murders, DoShik must eliminate KyungMi. So begins the chase for KyungMi's life.

The story line is intriguing itself. Firstly, the whole movie is based on one night (mainly) yet still there is not a single part where it gets boring. Instead, the story keeps you on the edge. Moreover, we see many thriller dramas and plays between a cop and a serial killer or cops actively involved, but here we see a victim helplessly struggling by herself and failing to reach for any official help. Even when she did, they did not believe her.
