Midnight's Child (1992)

Not that bad.

I do not under stand all the bad talk about this movie; I mean come on! this was not intended as a hollywood block buster, it was made for lifetime TV. If you actually watch the movie closely or more than once, you will see that it is really kinda eerie. I watched this movie the very first time it was aired on october 1992 and now I have the DVD!

SCARY AND INTERESTING

I THOUGHT THAT THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT AND VERY SCARY. IT WAS SLOW, YES. BUT THIS MOVIE HAD A MESSAGE. HEY! DON'T WORK SO MUCH BECAUSE THE DEVIL MAY TAKE YOUR FAMILY AWAY FROM YOU! RELAX! ENJOY! April 4, 2004

A special combination of satanism and retardation

This movie sucked so bad that my hair hurts. The little girl who is going to be married to satan is so ugly. I hope that she isn't expecting to marry anyone better than satan due to her ugliness. The mother is completly insane, like Olivia D'abo would want to have sex with her pock faced monster husband. All the mother does is have paranoid flashes from the movie, but the gay thing is that the flashes are from parts of the movie that haven't happened yet and aren't relevent to anything. This movie is just trying to tell women, "Hey don't go out and get a job because when you're gone, your beautiful nanny will boff your husband and marry off your daughter to satan." but then again we can't turn on the nightly news anymore without hearing about somekind of scenario like this one.

Pretty lame

Who were the actors in this? I'd never heard of any of them, and they were pretty bad anyways. I didn't get anything out of this movie at all. I tried to find some sort of story or message but there's just nothing to be found. It seems to be about some everyday mother who gets some European girl to come over and look after her daughter, but the girl has some kind of relationship with the devil or something crazy like that. I feel asleep about 30 minutes from the end, so I didnt see it all but from what I saw, the girl didn't really do anything wrong. Just because the girl took her daughter to some carnival, the mother goes crazy and gets all upset and I just didn't much of a point after that or even before that. It seems the mother believes she owns her daughter like a slave or something. This is nothing but a jealous mother. Just no point in it, no reason to watch. November 20, 2003

Hand that rocks the cradle, but bad.

This movie was bad and the acting was worse and the script writer should be punished.

All through the movie the director is trying to make it look like the mother has a valid reason for hating the nanny, but she doesn't. She just thinks the kid likes the nanny better, and the kid does.

This movie is a cross between "The Guardian" and "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle," both superior movies in the horror/suspense catorgory.

The scariest thing in this so called horror movie is a picture of the devil embracing a woman. That's it. There aren't even spooky sounds in the night.

However, I gave it two stars because it was soooooooooo funny. April 27, 2002
