Minutes Past Midnight is a genre-focused anthology that prioritizes the mechanics of horror over exploring multiple aspects of identity. The film relies heavily on classic monsters like demons and cannibals to drive its nine segments. While the casting showcases some international diversity, the narrative structure does not delve deeply enough to challenge social hierarchies. The focus remains on the supernatural and the macabre rather than social commentary. Overall, the film serves as a showcase of horror clichés, offering some diversity in casting but lacking in narrative engagement with identity or systemic issues.
