A great little horror flick starring the amazing Caroline Williams where not all is what it seems. Nice and tight at 73 minutes, wonderful, quirky characters, and just a fun watch. Worth your time.

Plot summary
A character-driven night terror, TEN MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT begins when veteran punk rock disc jockey Amy Marlowe (Williams) is bitten by a rabid bat on the eve of her final graveyard shift broadcast. When a raging storm traps Amy, her mysterious replacement (Nicole Kang, "Batwoman"),and the uneasy staff inside their small-town radio station, reality begins to fracture as they move further and further into the graveyard shift.The film draws inspiration from classic horror tales brought to life by Stephen King, "The Twilight Zone", and other forgotten late night horror anthology programs. Also woven throughout the mayhem is a melancholic meditation on the perceived disposability of women over a certain age and a reflection on metaphysical mortality: the death of who we were and who we thought we'd be.

Face on the stove!
Vampire or Rabies??
I will admit that I do enjoy bad films, and that's noteworthy for this review, because this film won me early on with the main character helping herself to a vampire tea bag, after taking a bite out of someone's hand.
I like the fact that there's a lot of question between is she turning into a vampire, or does she have rabies. It does get a bit "fever dreamish" but I like that take on it. Since being turned, or having rabies would be believable to cause.
Especially since with vampirism you literally die to get turned. So it was an interesting take on the idea.
The end is always coming
Amy Marlow (Caroline Williams ) is the nighttime radio host of a show called "10 minutes to Midnight." There is a hurricane outside. On her way in Amy was bit in the neck. And she soon finds out this is her last night on the air which does not go well as she is to train her replacement Sienna (Nicole Kang). Her boss and former lover Robert (William Youmans) is there as well as security and the board man. Amy is not herself and she bites Sienna and things really go off the chain with flashbacks and alternate realities.
This was not your typical vampire film. The intermittent surreal atmosphere gave me cause for confusion, hence I don't know if I like it or not because I simply did not understand what was happening.
