Production
''Midnight Killer'' was Lamberto Bava's second ''giallo'' film and was initially developed as a television film. Bava later stated he was uneasy making these types of films, stating that "I find doing scenes where women get stabbed to death repugnant. Dario Argento does it so well, but I feel sick as soon as I see the knife in the murderer's hand"Release
''Midnight Killer'' was released in 1986. It was released on home video in Denmark as ''You'll Die at Midnight'' and in France as ''Midnight Horror''.Reception
From retrospective reviews, Italian film critic and historian Roberto Curti declared the film as "drab and hardly engrossing, with only sequences set in a hotel standing by the sea standing out."References
