Someone called the Curator (John Potash) presents us with our daily dose of horror:

• Special Delivery: James (Joshua Myron McKinney) earns his living as a driver - and he's good at it, too, he's charming when he ought to be, sympathetic and easy going. So when accidently he runs over a girl (Becca Anne), he knows that could be the end for him as a driver, so instead of reporting the incident to the police, he ties her up and throws her into his trunk to deal with her later. It's just, the girl's father (Michael Rock) is a man of power, and he loves his girl very much ...
• Bad Deal: Stevie (Eddie Blake) takes some drugs he probably shouldn't have had - and the results are gory indeed ...
• House Guest: Edward (Tommy Kaminski) pays a visit to his old friend Dean (Hunter Nino) and his pregnant wife Molly (Davina Nino) - he claims just ot hang out, but actually he has planned something truly nefarious ...
• The Protector: After briefly making her acquaintance, a pervert with a camera (Dillon Brown) breaks into Victoria's (Hannah Welty) house to steal some of her underwear and maybe get some pictures of her naked - for high.paying voyeurs all around the internet. Thing is, she might have anticipated his moves ...
• Honey Hole: All two friends wanted was doing a bit of fishing at a very special fishing hole deep in the woods - but instead they walk into the sacred ground of some cult with a penchant for dismemberment ...

Now one thing up front, there's little reason for all five episodes of this series to be shot found footage style, especially since the approach is only worked into the narrative in one, The Protector, and frankly, not only could all episodes have profited from a more complex cinematic language, the amount of shaky camerawork in here does make one a bit seasick, especially when watching all entries in one go. That out of the way, there's still plenty of good about Midnight Feature, all episodes are well-written and should really resonate with horror fans, especially since they're all playing and often subverting genre mainstays, and the thing as a whole is cast pretty well and overall a pretty enjoyable ride.
