Midnight Adrenaline
You gotta get it into the heart … Yeah, but you gotta bring it down in a stabbing motion … You gotta get through the ribs, through the breastplate into the heart. Sound familiar? After a long day at SIFF watching period pieces, earnest war films, and touchy-feely character dramas, coffee just doesn’t cut it anymore. And energy drinks? Pfft!! Like drinkin’ water at that point. Nope, what you need is good, old-fashioned injection of Midnight Adrenaline straight to the heart. And we’ve got all your favorite SIFF genres right here, too. For fans of the Victorian era, follow two grave robbers as their professional livelihood is tested by nasty ghoulies. Your typical war pic Nazi is bad, but Nazi zombies who eat snow bunnies—now that’s evil. We’ve even got that touching drama about mothers and daughters you’ve been looking for, just make sure the baby’s been fed. But wait, there’s more: a murderous fashion fanatic, a Blaxploitation throw back, the sexy living dead, clairvoyant teens, and so much more. We guarantee a dose of Midnight Adrenaline will pump you right up and won’t leave you sleepy afterward … besides a little insomnia never hurt anyone.
Disclaimer: SIFF cannot be held responsible for any actions performed under the influence of Midnight Adrenaline, including but not limited to, the performance of strange occult rituals, exploring abandoned asylums, or taking the shortcut home through the woods.
