Review of A Feast at Midnight

I happened to catch a look at this movie two years ago when it was shown on satellite t.v. What I saw impressed me so much that I made a special point of watching it again. Who hasn't experienced the "horror" of being the new kid at school? This film made me laugh out loud! The humor in this film is not as gross as some of the so-called comedies that are being produced today, but that, to me, is all the better. I was impressed by the veteran actors, especially Christopher Lee. His character, Major Longfellow, (or "Raptor" as he is known) was very well played. Although "Raptor" takes himself very seriously, he does seem to end up in some of the most absurd situations, especially regarding Miss Plunder. You might not guess that Mr. Lee, who is well known for his horror films, would have a great sense of humor, but he does. I have to say that the script was original and the child actors were excellent. The scenery was gorgeous and the music fit perfectly. It is a shame that this little gem is not out on DVD. Everyone that I have shown this movie to has loved it.
