Review: Midnight Horror: Six Nights (2022)

Quick Review 

Each episode has its own story. Overall, I think this drama was so-so, with episode 3 and 6 being the most interesting. It is a little bit gory, so if you don't like this genre, then maybe you should watch something else instead.

Episode 1 

I thought the first episode was a bit confusing. It is based on The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe.

Episode 2

Kwon Hyuk Jin, is a young woman who makes dolls. On Real Homeshopping live TV-shows, her dolls are used as voodooo dolls to the horror of its viewers.

Episode 3

Kim Jin Kyung works for SOS Hope Line. Probably, much because of the death of her sister Eun Kyung. Her mother holds on to the memory of her lost daughter, while Jin Kyung prefers to move on.

The world is full of suffering, but also full of those who overcome them.

Episode 4

Soo Hyeon studies to become a flight attendant. She works late alone in a convenience store. This part-time work turns out to be a nightmare.

Episode 5

Mei is struggling to run the Raccoon Restaurant in South Korea.

Episode 6 END

Soo In works as a security guard. One night she is called to a location. However, it turns out she isn't alone in the building, someone is following her.

I kept thinking, "Take off your shoes!" You can be heard. It looks like this episode is based on a 2019 4chan thread about a fictional place called The Backrooms. It made me think of the movie Cube from 1997. Leaving one room, only to end up in another, with no exit in sight.

I started following some volcano related YouTube channels in August of 2024, during one of the eruptions close to Grindavik on Iceland. It is fascinating to see the powers of nature, and how it changes the landscape.
