Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter significantly re-writing the script, Quentin Tarantino was given an associate producer credit on this movie (his first official screen credit). This movie features several Tarantino trademark pop cultural references. For example, in reference to a Peeping Tom-like recording of a murder, a cop says "It makes A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) look like Charlotte's Web (1973)."
- GoofsWhen Laura and her colleague are driving over the bridge, it is raining and her wipers are on. When they pull off and park by the river, her car is completely dry and the wipers are off. When she drives away, the back of her car is wet.

Todd Canipe: The first time momma made me put it in I felt sick! Then as her belly swelled and she climbed on top of me it got so I couldn't breathe! I held my breath until she went away again and left me alone!

If
If Quentin Tarantino really wrote this movie, this is easily his worst cinematic endeavor.
Clearly, this story was written by frustrated men-children who don't have a clue how women's minds work. Somehow, a social worker falls in love with a hobo-looking older ex-con who not only acts like he's special needs, but also threatens her from day 1. What a Don Juan.
Hauer's character is the least likeable protagonist since WW2 movies about Hitler. Whether he killed his wife or not, he's a menacing jerk who stalks his social worker.
On top of that, the movie is poorly edited. Scenes jump around without warning, leaving the viewer to figure out how she's in her living room one minute and then waking up somewhere else entirely.
She never calls the cops when she should and by the end I was really hoping she'd get stabbed to death. Alas, we get a bizarre ending where the killer vomits a whole different movie on top of our damsel, which, frankly, might have made a much better movie than Past Midnight.
Get out of the house right meow! Oink oink.
